Frequently asked questions
Is FairInvoice really free?
Yes. Invoices and payment receipts are unlimited and free forever, with no trial clock and no monthly cap. Clients and saved items are unlimited too. Free PDFs use the Ledger design and carry a small “Made with FairInvoice” line in the footer. Pro is optional.
How much does FairInvoice Pro cost?
Pro is $2.99 per month, $19.99 per year, or $29.99 once for lifetime access (US prices; the App Store shows your local price). The lifetime option is a single payment, not a subscription, and never renews.
Is there a free trial of Pro?
The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial. The App Store shows any trial you are eligible for before you confirm, and you can cancel in your App Store settings at least 24 hours before the trial ends to avoid being charged.
Do I need to create an account?
No. FairInvoice has no sign-up and no login. You open the app and start an invoice.
Where are my invoices and client details stored?
On your device. If you turn on iCloud Sync (Pro), they are also kept in your own iCloud account so your iPhone, iPad and Mac stay in step. They are never stored on FairInvoice servers. The app sends only anonymous usage statistics and crash reports, never your documents.
Does FairInvoice work without internet?
Yes. Creating, editing and saving invoices, estimates and receipts, and generating their PDFs, all happen on your device with no connection needed. You need internet only to send a PDF, buy Pro or sync through iCloud.
Which devices does FairInvoice run on?
iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 17 or later, and Mac with macOS 14 or later. One Pro purchase unlocks Pro on all of them under the same Apple Account.
Is there an Android version?
Yes. FairInvoice is on Google Play for Android 8.0 or later. Invoices and receipts are unlimited and free there too, with no account. Pro on Android is a single $29.99 purchase (US price) through Google Play, with no subscription and no ads. The Android version doesn't have the on-device AI features or iCloud Sync, and a Pro purchase doesn't transfer between the App Store and Google Play. A backup file made on iPhone restores on Android.
Can I turn an estimate into an invoice?
Yes. One tap converts an accepted estimate into an invoice, carrying over the client, line items, tax and notes, with the two documents linked both ways. Your first estimate is free; unlimited estimates and conversion are part of Pro.
Can my clients pay from the invoice?
You can print your payment instructions on every PDF, and with Pro add a pay-by-QR code. Your client pays you directly through the method you choose. FairInvoice never processes or touches the money, so it takes no payment fees.
Does FairInvoice support my currency and language?
Invoices use your currency and your date format. The app is available in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil) and Arabic, and Arabic PDFs are laid out right to left.
Can FairInvoice remind me about unpaid invoices?
Yes. Free, opt-in reminders notify you when an invoice is overdue, and a Remind action lets you share a polite payment reminder with the PDF attached. FairInvoice never messages your clients on its own; you always send the reminder yourself.
Does FairInvoice do recurring invoices?
Yes, with Pro. Set an invoice to repeat weekly, every two weeks, monthly, quarterly or yearly. Each new invoice is created as a draft when you open the app, and it is never sent automatically.
Does FairInvoice use AI, and is my data sent anywhere?
Describe It, Scan Lines, Write a Reminder and the Ask field in reports use Apple Intelligence on your device, so nothing you type or scan is sent to a server. They need iOS, iPadOS or macOS 26 on a supported device and language, and are hidden elsewhere.
Is FairInvoice accounting or tax software?
No. FairInvoice creates and tracks invoices, estimates and receipts. Its Income Report totals what you have been paid, with tax collected, for your records. It is not bookkeeping software and does not give tax advice.
