What Indy is
Indy is a web-based toolkit for freelancers that brings proposals, contracts, time tracking, invoices, and payments together. Its invoice builder handles line items, tracked hours, taxes, discounts, late fees, deposits, multiple recipients, and sequential numbering. Add a logo and brand color, then choose from over 50 fonts. Recurring invoices can be sent automatically or manually on a schedule with chosen start and end dates, or no end date. Clients can pay through Stripe or PayPal, or use manual options including Zelle, wire transfer, direct deposit, and mailed checks. Indy says it charges no additional fees for integrated online invoice payments. The Free plan costs nothing and allows three clients plus three invoices, contracts, and proposals each month; monthly limits do not roll over. Pro Bundle costs $12.50 a month, billed $300 every 2 years, and includes unlimited clients and documents, 1TB storage, and live chat support. Indy lists Google Calendar, PayPal, Stripe, and Zapier integrations; Gmail is included with Pro. It is a product of Indy Technologies, Inc., headquartered in Bronxville, New York.
