↳ THE CHALLENGE

Invoicing tools that punish you for growing.

Malaysian freelancers and small businesses get squeezed from both sides: Excel templates feel unprofessional and break the moment a client needs SST or multi-currency, while the polished tools wall off basics or slap on caps — Invoice Home's $1,000/month ceiling was the exact wall that pushed this project into existence. None of them speak to a market that runs on WhatsApp, MYR, and three languages.

The brief wasn't "another invoice app" — it was a tool that doesn't make you feel cheap for using the free tier.

↳ THE APPROACH

Free where it counts, paid for polish.

An anonymous editor runs the full generator in-browser with zero sign-up — 19 currencies, configurable SST, logo + e-signature, instant PDF — doubling as a permanently-free SEO funnel. Registered users get five clean PDFs a month; a soft cap (watermark, never a wall) leans on loss-aversion instead of locking people out. Pro unlocks watermark-free exports, premium templates, and multi-brand kits.

Built on Next.js 16 + Supabase with Stripe subscriptions (RM 20/mo), bulk CSV/Excel import, and a three-language UI — shipped solo, SEO-first, with handcrafted LHDN / freelancer / SST landing pages.
