Billdu: Invoice Estimate Maker
Ratings & Reviews
I left Invoice2go after 6 years and switched to Billdu. This app has every feature I need that Invoice2go has at a much better price. The ability to customize the email settings is awesome and a major plus over Invoice2go. The actual invoicing process itself is for the most part more streamlined and easier to do. So far the only thing that drives me crazy is the fact that I have to input the country of my customer every time I add client. If I could just type it in or leave it blank, that would be awesome. But instead I have to scroll through the list of 200 countries every time and it is so incredibly annoying and pointless. I don’t do any business outside my county, let alone my state or country. Please change that option, inputting the country shouldn't be mandatory! Otherwise excellent app!
Developer ResponseHi Ryan,thank you for your review. I will add your inquiry to our wish list and we'll have a discussion about your suggestion. Please contact also our support so we can notify you once an update is available for you. Have a splendid day!
We just sent our first Estimate through the app and have paid for the full year of service. But we have two business that we would like to put on it and it seems we’re unable to add our second business so we have to go back into settings and update our email address each time. As well we run a radon Mitigation company and handyman services. With the handyman services, more times than not the client provides all necessary materials and we only need to provide a labor estimate with a description of work to be completed. We worked around what was available but would like an option to place a labor only estimate that didn’t have Items on there as we won’t have any items to provide. But it does work well with our radon Mitigation company since we do the purchasing of the materials those do need to be listed. So it’s a 50/50. I gave 4 stars because it is an excellent app with so many options for our clients and us, but does not meet the necessities of our other company nor can it be added as another company. Thank you!
Developer ResponseHello there.You can add your second business in the Settings. Our support team is keen to help you out and assist. Please make sure that you have the latest Billdu version installed. Have a great day!
Good app and presentation. But often very gitchy. The app always glitches when you go into a “service” for example- when you look up a “service” and then return to the previous screen, it glitches you into the landing page instead of the “previous page”. Very annoying. And now I cant print an invoice. There needs to be more checking for bugs before releasing an update. Also, I’ve tried to suggest things that would turn this app into an app closer to the far more expensive apps out there and my suggestions are ignored. For example, how about making the customer Sign and adding a slot where you can add a sentence or short paragraph such as “by siging here I agree to pay upon completion of proposed work”. Great for small business owners in the trades like myself. Nothing wrong with adding MORE and charging more $$ for this service. Not everyone is counting pennys, some of us dont mind paying extra for a better experience. Please stop keeping things so cheap (your prices) and sacrificing on quality and user experience.
This seems to be a great fit for my company and I was planning to switch over from our current estimating/invoicing software to Billdu at the beginning of 2019. However, it seems the app is missing some features that would be helpful, and that are offered through my current software. When entering our companyphone numbers it doesn’t allow to put in any parentheses right dashes, so you can tell it’s a phone number instead of a bunch of numbers. Second, there is no financing options available for my customers, which has been a huge plus when using my current software. Also, it would be beneficial if when inserting new services and pricing, those services should be able to be saved for using on other estimates or invoices to avoid having to type it all out each and every single time. Also, I have been unable to attach contracts to the documents. If your unable to meet these needs, I will unfortunately have to stick with my current software.
Developer ResponseHello. Thank you very much for your thoughts. We try to meet a balance between features and simplicity, I fully understand the requirements and needs of your business and I'll definitely add your ideas to our wish list. Hope you have a great day and good luck to your business!
First off, I’ve used this app for over 5 years now and have paid for premium for the entire time. I absolutely love Billdu more than any other estimating app, and I’ve tried them all. My issues- it always seems to be bugged, new ones pop up, they take care of it and then new bugs come up again. It’s frustrating. The newest issue is that all my estimates keep getting deleted even after being saved. If they aren’t getting deleted, it will constantly delete the name of the person to which I’m doing the estimate for. I have to keep going in and typing the persons name in again and if I work on that estimate at all it will constantly keep asking me to input the name again that I already have saved into the program. It’s outrageously annoying and I wish there was a way for me to convey this stuff to Billdu but there’s no way to do that.Also, I’ve had a couple of times where I go into the app and all the estimates that I created in the last week are just gone. Deleted. I spend a lot of time working on these and it’s outrageously frustrating that they just get deleted. I figure that all the times the site is “down for maintenance” it will fix these issues, but I’ve been dealing with these issues for quite a while now with no update to fix. I’m now contemplating leaving Billdu and finding new software to use. I’d rather not, but I am still hoping that this can be fixed. Please fix this Billdu. 3 years ago the app was perfect and then after trying to add all this new stuff to the app, it just seemed to cause so many issues. Hopefully it can get fixed.
Developer ResponseHi there Brandon, we appreciate your honesty expressed within the review as well as your long-term custom with us, and we would certainly love to look into this further. It's understandable that recurring issues would cause you to think about switching to another app to better meet your estimate creation needs. We would love to look at this for you in more detail - please email us at reviews@billdu.com and request human assistance. We will get back to you with the next steps! Many thanks, Billdu Support Team
I’m highly impressed by the simplicity of this app. My company has used this app since 2019. I looked at other invoice and estimate apps and I feel none compared to what this app has to offer. The invoice, estimate, and pro fona maker looks very professional. You can adjust tax rates and discounts on app. You also can bill a website for your business online and schedule appointments through the app. The app keeps a list of invoices by day, month, and year. While also keeping a lifetime record of sales. The app also have electronic receipts and Thank you messages along with payment reminders. I couldn’t ask for anything else in an invoice making app.
Let me first start off by saying that this app has been great for me. In the past I used a form of excel (Smart Office) that I modified as a quick fix. This app is set up perfectly. The 3 things that I miss from the other was that I had the option to send outgoing mail through my gmail app which is more reliable than the standard iOS. Also I was able to send through iMessage, which helped with a few of my customers that don't check email frequently. The other being making an option for Net 10th which how most of my customers are setup. As of now I have just being doing the custom option and manual choosing the 10th of the following month. I know I'm being a little picky, but all of these greatly help me if you all could consider adding these options.I highly recommend this to anyone creating mobile invoices.
Developer ResponseThank you for the feedback, I will add the NET 10 option to our wishlist and it should appear in some of our future updates. Have a great day!
I’ve been using this app for over 5 years, but will love if they could figure out a way to convert the date system to where it won’t change the day, to the month, to me it’s a big issue because if I forget to correct it will go into a total different date, and then I won’t find the transaction if I need to go back. I have discussed the issue with the tech a couple of times but he doesn’t understand what I’am talking about. I don’t know if anyone else it’s having the same issue. Also would love for this app to give a itemized total value per category at the end of year for tax purposes also give the users more flexibility on to changing some aspects on the document settings. Other than that I totally love it.
So I was going to write a great review but I’m guessing Ai wrote a long one for me. Isn’t that kind of deceiving?While I do absolutely love this app I think it’s pretty slimy to have Ai write a long 5 star review for users. I do agree with this review below though. “LOVE this app! It makes my invoices look so professional. It lets you customize the invoices/estimates with colors, your business logo, signature, and many more options. The app is also SUPER easy to use. I can make a new client invoice in just a few minutes. Once you have your client’s info in the app, you can create and send an invoice in less than 2 minutes. It is definitely worth the price- plus, the price is a tax write off. A++++”
Developer ResponseHi there, We are very are really appreciative of your review. Reading detailed feedback such as yours makes us want to keep improving the service we offer, and motivates us further! We hope you continue using our app going forward! Kind Regards, Billdu Support Team
I recently started using this app for invoicing and it is great. I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for a couple of minor changes I'd make. It would be nice if there was a way to add items to the products list while making an invoice instead of having to go save it in the list first. I also would like to be able to change the order and delete lines on invoices because I sometimes group certain things together on one invoice so when I'm doing several small jobs the customer can see what material/labor goes with each job. I contacted the developer with a question when I was first trying it out and got a response with an answer very quickly which was what made me decide to stick with this one. Great app for my electrical business.
Developer ResponseThank you for your review. We will surely add those features to our app and I will let you know once it's part of Billdu. Have a great day and good luck in your business!
