Plain pricing here means a straightforward fixed-price setup with no hidden costs: Plain Statement offers a free plan, a Freelancer plan at €5/month, and a Business plan for a one-time €35 payment for lifetime access, with the same core features unlocked on both paid options.
If you're a freelancer, sole proprietor, consultant, independent designer or developer, or a small studio in the EU or UK, this is the part that shows exactly what you'll pay for professional, tax-compliant invoicing and quoting without stepping into full accounting software. You'll see what the free and paid plans include, whether you need an account, how invoice and quote generation works, and where features like EU VAT support, the audit ledger, recurring invoices, and cancellation fit into each option so you can pick the plan that matches your budget and workflow.

Yes, and it's generous. A free account lets you save up to 50 invoices, send them by email, keep a client book of up to 50 clients and set business profile defaults — no card required. Creating and downloading invoices and quotes works even without an account.
There's one paid feature set, with predictable costs that are not based on usage: Freelancer at €5/month, or Business as a single €35 payment for lifetime access. If annual billing is offered, it usually saves about 10%. Both unlock exactly the same features, and every single customer pays the same fixed amount regardless of how much they use or consume the service.
No. Creating invoices and quotes and downloading them as PDFs works with no account. Plain uses a single core offer instead of complex tiered pricing or multiple plans. You only need a free account to save invoices, send by email or keep a client book. This straightforward model works well for a uniform product and can shorten the sales cycle by reducing back-and-forth questions before signup.
None in features — both unlock up to 1,000 invoices and clients, share links, EU VAT (VIES) validation, the audit ledger, recurring invoices and PDF receipts. Freelancer is €5/month; Business is a one-time €35 payment for lifetime access with no subscription. This kind of plain pricing helps compare plain options quickly, and transparent pricing can build trust and improve customer relationships. With the same features in both payment options, comparison shopping is simple and the pricing feels fair to customers.
Yes. Freelancer is billed monthly and can be cancelled anytime from your account, which helps lower billing anxiety for users. Business is a one-time payment, so there's nothing to cancel. Invoices you've already created are always yours to keep. Fixed, transparent pricing also speeds up purchasing and cuts administrative burden because there are no discounts or hidden fees to work through.
