Bigcapital
Bigcapital gives small and medium businesses a complete double-entry accounting, invoicing, and inventory management platform they can self-host for free, replacing the per-seat subscriptions of QuickBooks, Xero, and Wave. Every transaction records debits and credits across your chart of accounts, automatically generating balance sheets, profit and loss statements, trial balances, general ledger reports, journal entries, accounts receivable and payable summaries, cash flow analysis, inventory valuation, and inventory summary reports. Sales invoicing supports recurring schedules, customer payment tracking, estimate-to-invoice conversion, and configurable GST/VAT tax rates. Purchase invoicing handles vendor bills with expense categorization for payroll, rent, and operational costs. The inventory module tracks stock levels using FIFO and average cost methods, automatically adjusting quantities on every sale or purchase and providing reorder alerts. Multi-currency accounting converts transactions at real-time exchange rates and consolidates them under customer or vendor profiles with detailed currency reports. The platform deploys via Docker Compose with multi-tenant isolation giving each organization its own separate database, requiring as little as 2GB RAM for the complete production stack. A headless REST API with Postman collections lets developers embed the accounting engine into external applications for programmatic transaction management. Role-based permissions control access for team members and invited accountants across organizations. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
InvoicePlane
InvoicePlane manages the complete freelance and small-business billing cycle — draft quotes, convert them to invoices, automate recurring charges, collect payments through Stripe and PayPal, and generate EU-compliant eInvoice XML for automated processing by accounting systems. Deployed over 100,000 times across 193 countries, the PHP 8.2+ application on CodeIgniter 3 with MySQL or MariaDB handles everything from first estimate to final receipt. EU-compliant eInvoice generation creates machine-readable XML invoices meeting European Union standards since version 1.6.2. Recurring invoices automate periodic billing with configurable controls that pause generation when previous invoices remain unpaid. Online payment integration lets clients pay directly through Stripe, PayPal with Advanced Credit Cards, and Venmo support. The CRM-like client management module stores contact details, notes, custom fields, and complete transaction history per client. Product and task management modules let you build line-item invoices from reusable product catalogs and project tasks. Customizable PDF templates powered by mPDF support branded invoice layouts with QR codes, while email delivery via PHPMailer handles automated sending with configurable SMTP. A guest portal gives clients read-only access to view and pay their outstanding invoices and quotes. Financial reporting tracks revenue, outstanding balances, and payment history. The multi-language interface supports community translations, and multi-currency handles international invoicing. Deploy via Docker Compose with automatic database migrations. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Paymenter
Hosting companies that sell VPS plans, game servers, or dedicated machines get a branded storefront, recurring billing, and a ticket desk from Paymenter, running on their own server. A customer browses a category, picks a free, one-time, or recurring plan billed every few days, weeks, months, or years, and shapes the order with select, radio, checkbox, text, number, or textarea options, some of which carry their own price. Prices can differ per currency, and a setup fee is optional. Payment runs through Stripe, PayPal, or Mollie, with tax rates and coupons set from the admin panel. Once it clears, a server extension for Pterodactyl, Virtualizor, VirtFusion, Convoy, cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, or Enhance creates the service. A daily job issues renewal invoices, suspends overdue accounts, and terminates long-overdue ones. The customer portal covers services, invoices, and tickets in 24 languages, and tickets accept replies by IMAP email piping. Staff work with roles, audit logs, email logs, and notification templates, while API keys and OAuth clients connect outside tools. Optional extensions add an affiliate program, announcements, and Discord alerts. Moving over from WHMCS takes one built-in command that imports clients, products, services, tickets, and invoices from a copy of your database. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Akaunting
Akaunting is an online accounting software for small businesses and freelancers. The double-entry accounting engine provides a full Chart of Accounts, journal entries, and balance sheet reporting, eliminating the manual errors inherent in single-entry systems. Unlimited invoice creation with customizable templates, automatic payment reminders, and client portal access lets businesses present professional documents and accept payments through PayPal, Stripe, and other gateway integrations. Expense tracking captures operational costs with category-based organization, receipt scanning, and vendor bill management with overdue payment alerts. Bank Feeds auto-syncs transactions from connected bank accounts and matches them against invoices and bills for streamlined reconciliation. The dashboard displays receivables, payables, cash flow summaries, profit and loss charts, expenses by category, and account balances at a glance with configurable date ranges. Quotes and estimates convert directly into invoices upon client approval, while recurring invoices and bills automate periodic billing without manual intervention. The modular architecture built on Laravel with the Akaunting Module package enables an App Store where developers publish extensions for payroll, inventory, projects, and CRM functionality. Multi-company support manages separate books from a single installation with per-company user roles. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. BSL licensed.
TaxHacker
With 6,600+ GitHub stars and created by vas3k — one of the indie developer community's most recognized builders — TaxHacker is the self-hosted AI accounting application that turns receipt chaos into structured financial intelligence without surrendering a single document to third-party cloud services. Upload photos of receipts, invoices, or PDF bank statements, and the LLM pipeline automatically extracts dates, merchants, amounts, line items, tax breakdowns, and vendor information into an Excel-like structured database with custom fields you define through your own AI prompts. Currency handling covers 170+ fiat currencies and 14 cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, LTC, and more) with automatic conversion using historical exchange rates from the actual transaction date — critical for international freelancers filing in one reporting currency. The AI layer supports OpenAI (GPT-4o, GPT-4.1-mini), Google Gemini, Mistral, or fully local models via Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, and LocalAI through OpenAI-compatible endpoints for complete air-gapped deployments. Features include multi-project workspace isolation, custom categories with AI-driven auto-classification, bulk document upload with batch processing, email server monitoring for automated attachment ingestion, flexible CSV export with attached documents, and comprehensive tax report generation. The tech stack runs Next.js 15+ for the frontend and tRPC API, Prisma ORM for database models and migrations, PostgreSQL 17+ for persistence, and Ghostscript plus GraphicsMagick for PDF rendering. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
SolidInvoice
SolidInvoice ships a complete billing platform as a single FrankenPHP binary — no separate PHP installation, no web server configuration, just one executable that delivers quote-to-invoice conversion, automated recurring billing, Stripe and PayPal payment processing, multi-currency precision arithmetic, and eight render-ready PDF templates out of the box. Maintained since 2012 across 63 releases with 30 contributors, the Symfony 7 and PHP 8.4 backend provides quote creation with one-click conversion to invoices, recurring billing with configurable frequency schedules, and online payment processing through Payum supporting Stripe, PayPal, and additional gateways. Multi-currency support uses real Money objects for precision arithmetic, while multi-tax support handles invoice-level and line-item tax rates with automatic calculation. Client management stores contacts, multiple addresses with map integration, credit balances, and complete quote and invoice history per client. The redesigned Tabler-based UI features a dashboard with hero statistics, ChartJS revenue trend visualization, attention-required alerts for overdue and draft invoices, quick actions, and a recent activity timeline. A RESTful API enables integrations with external systems. Multi-channel notifications deliver alerts via email, SMS, and webhooks. Google OAuth and two-factor authentication secure access. Grid export and full company data export support backup and migration. Deploy using Docker, Homebrew, the standalone FrankenPHP binary, or from source. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Kimai
From a freelancer logging billable hours to companies with hundreds of users, Kimai scales professional-grade open-source time tracking - a Symfony/PHP application without the per-seat pricing of Harvest or Toggl. Tracking is flexible by design: run multiple concurrent timers, use punch-in/punch-out mode, or enter times manually, organized by customer, project, and activity with tags, and priced by user-, customer-, or project-specific rates. The billing pipeline is where Kimai earns "professional grade": generate invoices directly from timesheet data with configurable templates (DOCX, ODS, XLSX, PDF), entry grouping, and invoice-number generators, while an export flag locks billed records against editing and excludes them from future invoices - the audit-safety detail spreadsheet workflows never get right. E-invoicing supports EN 16931, XRechnung 3.0, and Zugferd/Factur-X. Enterprise controls come standard: SAML and LDAP login against Google Workspace, Azure AD, or Authentik, TOTP two-factor auth, customizable role permissions, and teams that scope customers and projects to departments. Money and time budgets alert before overruns, advanced reporting slices recorded time by any dimension, and an extensive JSON API plus a plugin marketplace (expenses, approvals, and more) integrate it with existing infrastructure. Over 30 translations, multi-timezone, AGPL-licensed.
PNLCS
Hosting companies sell, invoice, provision, and support hosting, domains, SSL certificates, and VPS servers from PNLCS, a free self-hosted billing platform with one client portal at the center. Customers browse your catalog, configure services, apply coupons, and check out, and the moment an order is paid a server module creates the account or machine on Panelica, cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, HestiaCP, Proxmox VE, or Vultr. Renewals then run themselves: invoices are generated ahead of the due date, stored cards are charged with retries, reminders and late fees follow, and unpaid services suspend automatically and restore themselves once payment lands. Domain registration, transfers, renewals, WHOIS and EPP codes, and SSL issuance run through the same checkout, while customers manage their actual hosting from the portal itself, including files, mailboxes, databases, FTP accounts, subdomains, DNS records, cron jobs, and backups. Eight payment gateways share one engine, so partial payments, refunds, and credit balances behave the same everywhere. Support tickets route by department with priorities and attachments, a searchable knowledge base deflects repeat questions, and affiliates track referrals and commissions. Operators get revenue dashboards, client management with impersonation, bulk invoicing and mail, and twenty-seven reports covering income, MRR, churn, domains, and tax, all in thirty languages and sixteen themes. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
TimeTracker
Why export timesheets from one tool, manage Kanban tasks in a second, and copy billable hours into a third just to send a client invoice when TimeTracker handles the entire agency workflow in one self-hosted platform? Start a persistent server-side timer from any browser or log hours manually using saved templates, bulk entry forms, and automatic idle detection. Project managers organize deliverables across drag-and-drop Kanban boards, Gantt timelines, and threaded task comments while monitoring real-time project budgets and cost burn rates. A built-in CRM tracks client contacts, lead scores, and sales pipeline stages before work even begins. When billing day arrives, you convert unbilled hours, reimbursable receipts, mileage logs, and per diem allowances directly into branded multi-currency invoices without double-billing a single minute. Finance teams can customize PDF invoice layouts, automate recurring billing schedules, and transmit EN 16931 compliant electronic invoices via Peppol or embedded ZUGFeRD/Factur-X XML. Interactive analytics dashboards and scheduled CSV or Excel exports give every stakeholder complete visibility into billable utilization. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.
Dolibarr
With 7,400+ GitHub stars, 280+ contributors, and 99 releases spanning 15 years of active development since 2011, Dolibarr is the modular ERP and CRM platform that scales from freelancers tracking invoices to manufacturing companies managing full production workflows — all within a single PHP application requiring only a web server and database.

Deploy via the official Docker image with MariaDB, DEB and RPM packages for Linux, or manual installation on any PHP-capable server. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.
Invoice Ninja
With nearly 10,000 GitHub stars and over a decade of development since 2013, Invoice Ninja is the most complete source-available invoicing platform for freelancers and small businesses — combining professional invoicing, online payments, expense tracking, and project management in a single self-hosted application. The Laravel API backend powers a React web portal and Flutter native applications for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, delivering a consistent experience across every device. Create professional invoices and quotes with real-time PDF preview, product libraries, custom templates, and automatic tax calculations. Clients receive branded emails and access their dedicated portal at your custom domain to view documents, approve quotes with e-signatures, and pay with one click via Stripe, PayPal, Square, GoCardless, Authorize.net, Braintree, or Mollie. Recurring invoices with auto-billing charge saved payment methods on schedule — weekly, monthly, or annually — with automatic reminders and late fee calculations. The built-in project management suite includes Kanban boards for task organization, billable time tracking with start/stop timers, and vendor expense management with receipt attachments. Bank account synchronization via Yodlee or GoCardless automatically imports transactions for reconciliation. E-invoicing with PEPPOL network integration supports electronic invoicing standards for European and government compliance. Reports cover invoices, expenses, profit and loss, tax summaries, and aged receivables. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Elastic License v2.
Solidtime
Solidtime is a time tracker for freelancers and agencies, offering a modern SaaS-quality interface that rivals commercial tools like Toggl and Clockify. The time tracking interface provides a running timer, calendar view, and weekly timesheet for flexible entry across desktop, mobile, and the dedicated macOS, Windows, and Linux desktop applications. Project management organizes work by client with hierarchical billable rates configurable at organization, member, project, and project-member levels, ensuring accurate billing across complex team structures. The invoicing module generates polished PDF invoices and structured EU e-invoices with configurable VAT rates, percentage and fixed discounts, EU reverse-charge handling, reusable company templates, and automatic line item generation from billable time entries. Reporting provides filterable summaries by user, project, client, and date range with exportable data for billing audits and team retrospectives. Multi-organization support manages separate workspaces from a single account with role-based permissions controlling access across organizations. Data import from Toggl, Clockify, and generic Timeentry CSV files enables migration from existing tools without losing historical records. The RESTful API with bearer token authentication enables automation and integration with external services. Docker deployment with PostgreSQL runs behind Nginx or Traefik reverse proxy. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
Invoicerr
Invoicerr nails the exact billing sequence freelancers actually use: draft a quote, send it to the client, collect a legally-binding electronic signature via a secure browser link, convert the approved quote into an invoice, and generate a branded PDF — no DocuSign account, no external signing service, no enterprise complexity. The React frontend with NestJS backend uses Prisma ORM with your choice of SQLite for instant local setup or PostgreSQL for production workloads. Quotes and invoices are first-class objects with independent status tracking — unread, sent, viewed, signed for quotes; paid for invoices — not a single form with a label swap. The e-signature system generates secure-token signing links that clients open in their browser to review and sign documents without needing any account or external service. PDF generation renders quotes, invoices, and receipts with your company logo, name, VAT number, colors, and custom email templates so documents reflect your brand identity rather than the software's defaults. Authentication supports JWT tokens or OIDC providers stored in cookies. The REST API backend enables future integrations with mobile and desktop clients. A plugin system with community-made features and outgoing webhooks extends functionality without forking core code. International-friendly with customizable currencies. Deploy with Docker Compose using the prebuilt image from GitHub Container Registry. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
Ever Gauzy
Ever Gauzy consolidates ERP invoicing, CRM sales pipelines, HRM employee records, applicant tracking, and project management into one full-stack TypeScript platform, eliminating the need to stitch together five separate SaaS subscriptions. Over 4,300 GitHub stars and 3,800+ releases back a CQRS architecture that separates command and query responsibilities across modules for invoices, expenses, payments, inventory, contacts, leads, deals, employee onboarding, candidate interviews, hiring workflows, sprints, goals, and KPI tracking. Time tracking captures hours via web timer, Electron desktop timer with activity monitoring and automatic screenshot capture, or browser extension, with timesheet submission and approval workflows supporting billable hour classification across Hubstaff and Upwork integrations. The multi-tenant architecture provides automatic tenant scoping with role-based permissions, while dual ORM support through TypeORM and MikroORM with Knex query builder ensures database flexibility across PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB. REST APIs documented with OpenAPI and Swagger expose every module for headless operation, complemented by an MCP server offering 323 tools for AI assistant integration. The Angular 19 dashboard provides dark, light, corporate, and material themes with i18n across 10 languages via Crowdin. Supports Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Pulumi deployment with Redis caching and OpenSearch full-text indexing. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
iDURAR
Quote to cash in one web application - create quotes, convert them to invoices, record payments, track customers: iDURAR is an open-source ERP and CRM platform for small and medium-sized businesses. Built on the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) with Ant Design components and Redux state management, it presents a clean SaaS-style interface that needs little onboarding. Core modules cover invoice management with PDF generation and email delivery, payment recording against invoices, quote and proforma handling, customer records, and accounting views over the resulting data. Multi-currency support and localization make it usable for internationally operating teams. Because the whole stack is JavaScript with an API-first backend, extending it - custom fields, new modules, integrations - is approachable for any Node/React developer rather than requiring a specialist ERP skill set. Deployment is straightforward via Docker with a MongoDB instance. Licensed under AGPL-3.0 with free commercial use; a hosted enterprise version exists but the self-hosted edition is fully functional.
Easy Invoice PDF
Freelancers, contractors, and small shops can turn a short form into a client-ready PDF invoice, with a live preview that redraws on every keystroke and no account to create. Fill in seller and buyer details, then add line items with quantity, unit, net price, and tax rate; net amounts, tax, totals, and the amount in words are calculated automatically. Item discounts take a percentage or fixed amount off any line under a custom label, and tax applies to the discounted figure. Pick a classic layout or a Stripe-style template, and add your logo as a JPEG, PNG, or WebP file. Invoices can be written in 13 languages, including Brazilian Portuguese, with 122 currencies, 18 date formats, and a number format setting that survives a language switch. Tax labels can read VAT, GST, Sales Tax, or anything else, or the tax columns can be dropped entirely. Bank account, SWIFT/BIC, payment method, due date, and notes sit alongside an optional QR code that can carry a payment link, UPI details, or contact information. Long invoices flow onto extra pages automatically. Saved seller and buyer profiles fill in the next invoice for you, and the data stays in the browser. Download the PDF or copy a shareable link that opens the same invoice for your client. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
MyCompany
MyCompany runs the whole back office of a small business, sales, stock, production, invoices, projects, payroll, and the shop till, as one application sharing one database. A lead arrives and moves across a kanban board with calls and emails logged on its card, then becomes a sales order and an invoice without retyping a single field. Purchasing raises supplier orders, receives goods into the right warehouse, and watches stock move between locations with full movement history, reservations, lots, and serial numbers. Manufacturing plans production orders from bills of materials with operations and work centers, tracking the materials actually consumed and what each finished batch cost. Projects track tasks and time with supervisor timesheets, HR keeps employee records, hourly rates, and payslips, and the retail point of sale handles barcodes, payments, register sessions, and discounts. Because every module reads and writes the same records, the invoice knows what the warehouse shipped and the project knows what the customer was billed. When your business outgrows a standard screen, customizations live in separate extension modules, so vendor updates never collide with the workflows you adapted. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.
Tryton
In Tryton, an invoice knows its shipment and a production order knows its stock, since accounting, inventory, purchasing, and sales are modules of one ERP rather than separate programs exchanging exports. Financial accounting posts customer and supplier invoices, reconciles bank statements imported from SEPA or configured CSV formats, manages dunning and direct debits, and produces Factur-X electronic invoices, while analytic accounting splits results across cost centers. Stock tracks goods through warehouses and locations with lots, shipments, inventories that warn when counts drift beyond tolerance, and automatic period closing, and production consumes bill-of-material inputs into finished goods with quantity checks. Sales quotations become orders, shipments, and invoices without retyping; purchases calculate real supplier lead times; point of sale records lot numbers at the till; subscriptions bill recurring services on schedule. Multi-company installations share the same database with per-company wizards, tax rules can be defined per organization for European trade, and parties, products, carriers, currencies, and customs duties are managed as shared reference data. Access happens through the browser web client, a desktop client, or scripting and REST libraries, so integrations read and write the same business objects your staff see. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0-or-later licensed.
