Built for the freelancer juggling five or more retainer clients. Reusable service packages you apply once and forget. Recurring line items, one-off adjustments, and percentage-based fees on the same invoice. Branded PDFs with your logo. Stripe Connect payouts to your account. A built-in margin on the DiscoverWorthy services you resell. The billing back-office sits inside the same tool that does the actual client work. No second login. No second monthly fee.
Included in Any plan
A freelancer billing system with reusable service packages, recurring and one-off line items, Stripe Connect invoicing, and branded PDFs, built into DiscoverWorthy so it sits alongside the client work.
This isn't for you if…
You have one or two clients and invoicing is a ten-minute task each month. Client Billing shines when you hit five or more retainer clients and the admin starts eating Saturdays.
“The freelancers who scale are not the most talented. They are the ones who stopped doing admin in Google Sheets.”
Built from your real business, not a generic template.
A service package is a reusable set of line items: "Content Starter", "Full Digital Presence", "Local SEO". You define it once and apply it to every new client.
Add a client, apply a service package, tweak the pricing for this specific client if needed, set the start date. Done.
The billing job calculates recurring charges, percentage fees, and one-off items every cycle. Stripe collects. You get paid.
Every invoice generates a branded PDF with your logo, your address, the line-item breakdown, and a clean summary your clients can actually understand.
Most tools in this space solve one slice of the problem. We solve the outcome.
Examples
Bonsai · HoneyBook · Dubsado · HelloBonsai
Their gap: A separate app beside your client work tool. Separate login, separate data, and no native link to what you actually deliver.
Why we win: Billing sits inside the same platform that does the client work. Service packages reference the real services your clients receive: Quill, Press, Hype, hosting.
Examples
Stripe Invoicing · PayPal Invoicing · Square Invoices
Their gap: Primitives. You build packages, percentages, branded PDFs, platform fees, and the whole freelancer workflow yourself.
Why we win: Stripe Connect under the hood, so your money lands in your Stripe account. But the freelancer workflow is built on top. Less to build. Faster to launch.
Examples
QuickBooks · Xero · Wave · FreshBooks
Their gap: Built for bookkeeping, not for service-package billing. Setting up per-client retainers is a workaround, not a feature.
Why we win: Purpose-built for freelancer retainer work. You still export to your accounting software, but you do not run the monthly billing out of it.
Examples
Google Sheets + Stripe Payment Links · A shared Notion doc
Their gap: Works for two clients. Breaks at five. You spend Saturday mornings chasing late invoices instead of doing client work.
Why we win: Automated, recurring, branded, reconciled. Your Saturdays back.
Client Billing & Service Packages is stronger when the rest of your presence is pulling in the same direction.
Service packages, recurring and one-off line items, Stripe-powered invoicing, branded PDFs, platform-fee handling. The billing stack freelancers actually use.
