Yes. Creating invoices and downloading PDFs is free forever, no trial and no catch. Optional paid branding features include the $19 Brand Pack, which removes the footer from PDFs and unlocks Email Finder with a 3/day per-IP cap.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no account system at all, which is the whole point.

Where does my data go?

Invoice editing and PDF generation happen in your browser. Remembered records are stored on this device. Sharing sends the invoice link through your chosen channel; optional shortening also sends its full URL to our short-link service.

Does MonkeeTools charge any fees?

No. There is no subscription, no per-invoice charge, and no payment processing cut. If a client pays you through your own Stripe link, Stripe's own fee applies, but MonkeeTools itself never takes a cut.

I have never sent an invoice before.

Can I switch to MonkeeTools from another invoicing tool?

Yes. Import your client list from a CSV file instead of retyping it, and if you change devices, a transfer code carries your business profile and client list to the new one with nothing uploaded. Export your invoice history as CSV any time. Nothing is locked in: your data lives in your browser and in backup files you control.

Can my accountant work with this?

Export your invoice history as CSV any time. It opens in any spreadsheet.

I already send invoices through PayPal. Why switch?

If your clients pay through PayPal and you are happy, stay. But know the math: PayPal takes 3.49% + 49 cents every time a client pays a PayPal invoice, and your invoice data lives on PayPal's servers inside a PayPal account. MonkeeTools takes no cut at all, needs no account and can remember invoice records in your browser. If your clients pay by Zelle, check, cash, or your own payment link, you are paying PayPal for nothing.
