Free, always

The full loop is live: create the invoice, download the PDF, send, track, and confirm — all free, and it stays that way. Paid extras can come later; getting paid should not start with a paywall.

Send anywhere

Use the payment rails you already trust: bank transfer, PayPal, Stripe, Square, Wise, cash, check, or a custom link. Share by WhatsApp, Telegram, or email — the message lands in the thread your client already reads.

Track the chase

Crest now ties due dates, one reminder, payment reports, and owner-confirmed close to the invoice. Next up: smarter escalation prompts and payment notifications — without taking over the payment.

Crest to close

When the client says paid, check the money and Crest it. The invoice closes only when you confirm it.

Why I built Crest

Alina Riaby, Crest founder

I'm Alina — a practicing therapist since 2005 and a mother of five. Crest started as a tool for my own practice: the sessions went well, my clients were lovely, and the invoices still got paid late. Not because anyone refused to pay — people finish their day, lose the link, forget. A clean invoice and a polite nudge fix most of it.

I also believe getting paid is a commodity job. Creating an invoice should never come with a price tag, and the send, track, and close loop Crest ships stays free, always.

Free invoice generator FAQ

Crest is built for the practical moment after work is done: make the invoice, send it with the payment details your client needs, and keep the follow-up calm until you get paid.

Is Crest a free invoice generator?

Yes. The invoice generator is live today and free: edit the invoice in your browser and download the PDF. If you opt in, Crest can also host, track, remind, and close a live invoice.

Who is Crest for?

Crest is for freelancers, sole proprietors, and solo service businesses paid one job at a time who need a clean invoice and a simple follow-up loop.

Does Crest send payment reminders automatically today?

Yes for live invoices. After you opt in, Crest can track the first client view, send one polite reminder around the due date, and close only when the owner confirms payment.

Where do my invoice details go?

For the free PDF path, invoice details stay in your browser. For live invoices, Crest stores the invoice details you confirm so it can host, track, remind, and close the invoice.

One Job: Get Me Paid

Crest is for people paid one job at a time who still send the payment nudge themselves — and clients who mean to pay but forget, lose context, or miss payment details.

Crest is not accounting software, a client portal or CRM, a payment processor with transaction fees, or debt collection.
