Why people pick Billbooks for invoicing

Less than half the price

$7.95 a month against the Blinksale $19, for comparably unlimited invoicing.

Scheduler, reconciliation, e-sign, QR

All included, and all absent from Blinksale, so you are not bolting on separate tools.

Follow-ups on quotes too

Billbooks chases outstanding quotes automatically, not just invoices.

Where Blinksale may suit you better

To be straight with you: Blinksale is a mature, long-running invoicing brand with a clean estimate-to-invoice flow, and it supports a wide set of payment rails including Coinbase for crypto alongside Stripe and PayPal. If crypto payments matter to you, that is a real advantage. Billbooks is for people who want the same unlimited invoicing plus a scheduler, reconciliation, e-signatures, and a payment QR code, at a lower flat price.

Unlimited invoicing plus the extras, for less.
