If you’re a small business owner, you know how unpredictable things can be. Some months feel like magic. Payments come in, new clients say yes, and you’re riding that wave of “This is working.” Other months? Not so much. You’re still working hard, showing up for your people, but the cash flow isn’t quite cooperating.
This is where most CRMs completely miss the mark. They expect you to pay a monthly fee no matter what. Whether you’re onboarding five clients or zero, the bill still shows up like clockwork. It doesn’t matter if you’re on vacation, revamping your services, on maternity leave, or in a quiet season of business. You still have to pay.
That never felt right to us.
So we built something very different. We built Billi to be a tool that actually supports the way small businesses really work. It’s completely free to use, and we only take a small 1% fee when you get paid.
Let’s walk through exactly what that means.
What “Only Pay When You Get Paid” Actually Looks Like
With Billi, you can create invoices, send contracts, manage clients, track projects, and stay organized—all without ever entering a credit card. There’s no monthly fee. No free trial countdown. No subscription that sneaks up on you.
We only make money when you do. So if you send an invoice for $100 and your client pays through Billi, we take 1%—that’s $1. You keep the rest.
That’s it.
No setup fees. No hidden charges. No pressure.
If you’re in a slower month, you’re not paying anything. And when the money is coming in, our platform simply takes a small portion so you’re never paying out of pocket just to keep things running.
Why We Chose This Model
We saw too many business owners stuck paying $30, $50, even $100 a month for CRMs that weren’t aligned with their current season. They were in a slow period, shifting their offers, or just getting started—but the charges didn’t care.
So we asked a better question.
What if your CRM actually supported your income instead of draining it? What if you could grow first, and pay later? What if you only had to give a little bit back when you were thriving?
That became the foundation for Billi.
Why That 1% Fee Is Worth Every Penny
We know you’ve probably been burned before by tools that start small but balloon with extra charges or locked features. So when we say 1%, we mean 1%.
That single percent gives you full access to:
- Unlimited clients and projects
- Beautiful, customizable invoices
- Digital contracts with e-signatures
- Shareable service listings
- A dashboard that makes your business easier to run
No upsells. No tiers. Just the essentials—all available from day one.
And because we only earn when you do, our mission is simple: help you earn a living doing what you love.
Built for Business Owner Who Wear All the Hats
You’re not just running a business. You’re wearing every hat—sales, admin, marketing, support, delivery. You’re following up on leads, sending thank-you notes, and probably doing it all with a cup of coffee in hand.
You don’t have time to waste on software that makes your life harder.
Billi was built with simplicity and flexibility in mind. You can step away from your business without worrying about pausing your account. You can shift your focus without another charge coming through. You can grow knowing the tools are there to support you—without adding more to your plate.
This isn’t just a pricing model. It’s a whole new way of thinking about what your business really needs.
For Anyone Building a Business from the Ground Up
If you’re in the early days of your business, riding the rollercoaster of excitement, uncertainty, and determination—you’re in the right place.
Maybe you’re offering a service people really need. Maybe you’re freelancing, consulting, coaching, creating. You’re working hard to look polished and professional while stitching together a system of free trials and spreadsheets.
We’ve been there too.
The early days are full of learning curves. You’re marketing yourself, finding clients, sending contracts, and figuring out how to get paid. And most tools make it harder than it needs to be. They expect you to invest money you haven’t made yet. They keep the best features behind a paywall.
That’s why we built Billi the way we did.
From day one, you can manage your service-based business professionally. Clients, contracts, payments—all in one place. You don’t need to hack together a system. You don’t need to upgrade. You just need to get started.
And here’s the best part: you only pay when you get paid.
Whether you’re a designer, developer, dog trainer, photographer, or virtual assistant, Billi was built for you. You’re offering a service. You’re building something that matters. You deserve tools that help you move faster, not hold you back.
And while we’re focused on service-based businesses right now, this is only the beginning.
We didn’t build Billi because the world needed another CRM. We built it because we wanted to help real people create real freedom.
You shouldn’t have to pay just to try. You shouldn’t have to lose money to stay organized. And you definitely shouldn’t have to keep upgrading just to look professional.
Billi is free to use because we believe every business deserves a strong start.
That 1% fee? It’s our way of saying, we’re in this with you.
So whether you’re landing your first client or scaling up with a client list, we’re here to help.
