Intuit Billing Manager: Online invoice app from the makers of QuickBooks

Intuit Billing Manager
It turns out Zoho, Invoice Journal, Invotrak, and Freshbooks aren't the only companies offering online invoicing solutions. Intuit, the company behind the QuickBooks accounting software also has a billing solution, cleverly titled Intuit Billing Manager.

This free web service has been around since last year, but we first heard of it when WebWare ran an article this afternoon. Intuit Billing Manager offers users several templates for invoice creation, and you can slap your company logo on any invoice. You can also email your invoices to clients directly from the web site. They'll received a text based email with a link to an online version of the invoice. Unfortunately, there's no way for them to pay the invoice online using the service.

Once you've added your company info and created a few clients, you can create and send invoices in a matter of seconds. We do wish there was an easy way to save invoices as PDF files which look a little more professional than text based emails. We tried printing an invoice using a print to PDF application, but the results didn't fit properly on the page. Still, if you're not happy with the umpteen other services offering online invoicing solutions, you might want to check Intuit Billing Manager out.

Zoho does invoices

Zoho Invoice
Zoho has added an online invoicing application to its ever-growing suite of online office/business products. While Zoho Invoice is hardly the only online invoicing tool around, the application gives users a lot of control over the invoicing process. You can add your own logo to your invoices, add custom messages, and choose from several customizable templates. You can also keep a list of customers, products and services and run reports.

On the down side, you can only create and send up to 5 invoices per month with a free account. For $5 per month, you can send up to 25, while $15 per month will get you 150 invoices, $25 brings you to the 500 invoice level, and if you do a lot of business you can create up to 1500 invoices for $35 per month. Meanwhile, services like Invoice Journal and Invotrak let you create as many invoices as you like for free, but they lack some of Zoho Invoice's features.

The other thing that makes Zoho Invoice worth checking out is the fact that it's just one of more than a dozen online services offered by Zoho. If you like the idea of managing your office documents, web conferencing, and HR management all through the same company, Zoho's got you covered. For a small fee.

Create and track invoices online with Invoice Journal

Invoice JournalThere are plenty of ways for small business owners to create and track invoices. You could just fill out a Word template every time you need to bill a client, or you could use free software like Microsoft Accounting Express or QuickBooks Simple Start. But as with everything these days, there are also online solutions.

Invoice Journal is a simple web site that lets you create and track your invoices. There's a simple form for entering new clients, and another for sending invoices to those clients. Easy as pie.

Invoice Journal lacks some of the bells and whistles you'd get with a more complex service like FreshBooks. There's no time tracking feature for example. But sometimes you want a service that does one thing and does it well.

If Invoice Journal doesn't do it for you, we've also looked at Invotrak, another free invoicing startup, that quite frankly, works pretty much the same was as Invoice Journal.

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
