Default Any other software like BlinkBid??

Hey All,

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestion for invoicing software that's like Blinkbid but less expensive?

I would love to use Blinkbid but when they released their new version, 5.0, they jacked the price up by $100. That essentially killed that idea for someone starting out. However I can't deny how simple it is use and get started.

I could use something like this but I need something that's not going to break the bank right now.

Thanks

JDArt,

Blink Bid is specifically for photographers. It's a really easy to piece of software that allows you to setup Usage, Terms, Invoice and most everything with a few clicks.

Worth checking out and it has a 14day trial. I should get a freebie from them for this! LOL

I just feel it's touch expensive for a newbie.

You can check out Cradoc fotoSoftware but theirs is like $300.

I wonder what other options your Internet searches found?

$229 isn't that far off from $300. What makes these small apps worth this cost?

I think they're charging for convenience. I mean that's what the applications are. I just think for upstarts it's touch high to get started with. Blinkbid I find extremely easy but they raised the price when the new one came out.

I think Blinkbid started at $89 which I would've gladly put down but there aren't any low cost applications that do what it does, which is disappointing. If I could I would make my own app, but that would probably be the reason it cost so much more now too.

Here's hoping for more competition in the arena.
