Best free way to send invoices by text
The free part is the message and the preview. Type a line, copy a script, and text the link. Saving a workspace and sending invoices all month is a paid plan from $9.
Free to draft, paid to run
Searches for a free way to text invoices usually want a tool that never sends a bill of its own. The honest version is narrower. You can write the SMS from the scripts on this site and preview the line in the demo without creating an account. Your phone’s messages app is already free and is how the text actually goes out. InvoiceTXT does not charge per text because it does not send the carrier message. The paid part is the workspace: stored invoices, the PDF, the status, the API if you use it. Plans are $9, $19 and $49 a month. There is no free plan. If a page elsewhere calls the whole product free, it is wrong.

Questions about this job
So what is actually free?
The guides, the example lines and a preview. Not the ongoing account.
What do I pay?
$9 a month for 30 invoices, $19 for 150, or $49 for 600. You can cancel, and there is a 7-day refund if it is not for you.
Can I text invoices with no software at all?
You can type the total in a message. You then have no PDF, no line items and no record. That is free and it is also how disputes start.
Free is the draft. The product that remembers the invoice is paid, and the price is on the homepage.

An SMS is how you tell them. A PDF is the file they keep. You do not have to choose. The text carries the link, and the link has the PDF.

Traditional apps assume you will sit down and fill a form. InvoiceTXT assumes you will type one line and text the link. The books may still live in the other app.
