Can I bill international clients (Upwork, Fiverr, direct) from VioBusiness?

Yes. Set the invoice currency to USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, or any of 20+ currencies. The PDF renders professionally in that currency. Useful for invoicing the underlying client even when payment goes through Upwork, or for direct foreign clients where you provide documentation for inward remittance.

Invoice App · India

An invoice app for Indian freelancers and small businesses.

Q: Does VioBusiness create GST-compliant invoices?

Yes. You can put your GSTIN in the Business Profile, set CGST/SGST or IGST rates per invoice, and the resulting PDF includes the required fields for a tax invoice under the GST Act. Note that VioBusiness does not generate e-invoices directly (the IRP/IRN process) - it produces the underlying tax invoice in PDF form.

Q: How does VioBusiness compare to Vyapar or Tally?

Vyapar is feature-rich but ad-supported on the free tier and has aggressive paid upgrades; Tally is desktop-first and expensive. VioBusiness is a clean mobile-first alternative with no ads, no upgrade pressure, and a single ₹999 lifetime price. Trade-off: VioBusiness is focused on invoices, quotes, contracts, and expenses - not inventory, payroll, or full accounting.

Q: Does my data leave India?

By default, your data stays on your phone in a local SQLite database. The app doesn't sync anywhere. If you opt into the Cloud tier, the encrypted backup is stored in our UK infrastructure (we are a UK-registered company). The Cloud tier is entirely optional - the full app works without it.

Send professional GST invoices in seconds. No ads. No tier-locked features. ₹999 once and yours forever. Built for Indian freelancers billing domestic and international clients, and for small businesses tired of subscription billing software.

In thirty seconds. Pay ₹999 once. Unlock unlimited invoices, GST quotes, customers, contracts, and expenses. No ads, no upsells, no monthly fees. Optional cloud backup at ₹199/month. Works fully offline. Bill in INR for domestic clients or USD/GBP/EUR for international clients.

i.Built for Indian freelancers and small businesses

If you're a freelance designer in Bengaluru, a consultant in Mumbai, an Upwork seller in Indore, or a small retailer in Surat - VioBusiness is built for the way you actually work. Mobile-first. GST-aware. Multi-currency for international clients. No subscription. No ads cluttering the screen. No notifications nagging you to upgrade to the "Pro Max" tier.

Most Indian invoice apps are either ad-supported (Vyapar, myBillBook), desktop-first (Tally), or aggressively subscription-priced (Zoho, FreshBooks). VioBusiness sits in the gap: a professional mobile app, one fair price, and your business records on your phone where they belong.

iii.GST: what your invoice needs

Under the GST regime, a tax invoice must carry specific fields. VioBusiness includes all of them on every invoice:

Your business name, address, and GSTIN. Set once in your Business Profile.
A unique tax invoice number. Sequential, no gaps. VioBusiness numbers them automatically (INV-0001, INV-0002, ...). You can change the prefix in Settings.
Date of issue.
Recipient's name, address, and GSTIN (if the recipient is a registered taxpayer). If the recipient is unregistered (B2C), include name and address.
HSN/SAC code for the goods or services (4-6 digits depending on your turnover threshold).
Description of goods/services, quantity, and rate.
Taxable value (subtotal), GST rate, tax amount. Either CGST + SGST (intra-state) or IGST (inter-state).
Grand total in INR.
Place of supply for inter-state supplies.
Signature (digital or physical - VioBusiness leaves space for a signature when you print).

For the full explainer including the difference between CGST/SGST/IGST and how to handle inter-state vs intra-state supplies, see our GST on invoices guide (coming soon).

iv.Domestic and international billing

Many Indian freelancers and small businesses bill in INR for local clients and USD/GBP/EUR for international clients - sometimes both in the same week. VioBusiness handles both natively.

For Indian (domestic) clients

Set currency to INR (default for Indian users). Apply CGST + SGST for intra-state supplies, or IGST for inter-state. The invoice prints with the rupee symbol, GST line items, and total. Your records are tagged in INR.

For international clients

Set currency to USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, CAD, or any of 20+ supported currencies on a per-invoice basis. The PDF renders in the chosen currency. For export of services under the GST framework, you'll typically issue a zero-rated tax invoice with a Letter of Undertaking (LUT) reference - set the GST rate to 0% and add the LUT number in the notes field. See our international invoicing guide (coming soon) for the full mechanics including FIRC/FIRA documentation for bank inward remittance.

v.Alternatives we've thought about

If you're considering VioBusiness, you're probably also looking at:

Vyapar

The most popular Indian invoice/billing app. Feature-rich (POS, inventory, party ledger) but the free tier is ad-supported and the Premium tier has frequent upsell prompts. If you need full inventory management for a retail store, Vyapar may suit you better. If you want a clean, ad-free mobile invoice experience, see our Vyapar vs VioBusiness comparison (coming soon).

Tally / Tally Prime

The default for Indian small business accounting since the 1990s. Desktop-first, complex, ₹18,000 one-time for Silver Edition. If you're already a Tally household and just need a way to invoice on the go, VioBusiness can fill that gap without replacing Tally. See Tally vs VioBusiness (coming soon).

Zoho Invoice / Zoho Books

Solid Indian-built cloud suite. Zoho Invoice is free for small businesses; Zoho Books is subscription-based. The trade-off vs VioBusiness: Zoho needs an account, lives in the cloud, and tries to be a full accounting platform. VioBusiness is a mobile-first invoice tool, your data on your phone, with no signup.

vi.How it works, briefly

Invoices

Tap "New Invoice" → pick a customer (or create one inline with GSTIN) → add line items with HSN codes → set GST rate → tap Send. The tax invoice PDF generates on your phone in seconds. Share over WhatsApp, email, or any app the OS can share to.

Quotes and proposals

Build a quote with the same tools. When the client accepts, convert to an invoice with one tap. Useful for service businesses where the same quote often becomes the invoice with no change.

Expenses

Track business expenses with category, amount, currency, date, and notes. Attach a receipt photo from your phone. Filter by category. Export to CSV at year-end for your CA.

Recurring invoices

Set a monthly retainer once - VioBusiness issues the next invoice automatically when it's due.

Multi-currency

Switch between INR for domestic and USD/GBP/EUR/etc for international, per invoice. Your records keep both the original amount and currency.

vii.Frequently asked questions

Does VioBusiness create GST-compliant tax invoices?

Yes. Set your GSTIN in the Business Profile, set the GST rate per invoice (CGST+SGST for intra-state, IGST for inter-state), include HSN/SAC codes per line item, and the resulting PDF includes the required fields for a tax invoice under the GST Act. Note: VioBusiness does not directly generate e-invoices via the IRP (Invoice Registration Portal) - it produces the underlying tax invoice PDF.

How does VioBusiness compare to Vyapar or Tally?

Vyapar is feature-rich but ad-supported with aggressive upgrade prompts; Tally is desktop-first and expensive. VioBusiness is a clean mobile-first alternative with no ads, no upgrade pressure, and a single ₹999 lifetime price. Trade-off: VioBusiness is focused on invoices, quotes, contracts, and expenses - not full inventory or payroll.

Can I bill international clients in USD or GBP?

Yes. Set the invoice currency per invoice. Useful for direct foreign clients, Upwork/Fiverr documentation, or any export of services. Records keep both the original amount and currency.

Does my data leave India?

By default, no - your data lives in a local SQLite database on your phone and never goes anywhere. If you opt into the Cloud tier, the encrypted backup is stored in our UK infrastructure. The Cloud tier is optional.

Can I use VioBusiness for a single proprietor business or partnership firm?

Yes. Put the legal business name in your Business Profile (your own name for a proprietorship, the firm name for a partnership or LLP). Add your GSTIN if registered. The invoice carries the right legal entity automatically.

Do I need to register for GST before I can use VioBusiness?

No. If you're below the GST registration threshold (₹20 lakh aggregate turnover for most states, ₹10 lakh for special category states) you can still use VioBusiness - just leave GST at 0% and don't put a GSTIN in the Business Profile. The invoice prints cleanly without GST lines.

What about e-invoicing (IRP/IRN)?

VioBusiness produces the underlying tax invoice PDF. For businesses above the e-invoicing threshold (currently ₹5 crore aggregate turnover for FY 2026-27 and falling), you'd separately register the invoice with the IRP to obtain an IRN. This is on our roadmap but not currently built in.
