What you get

Nine things, and nothing else.

Forward

Forward any client email — that is the entire input. No forms, no templates.

Process

AI reads the thread and pulls out client, line items, rates, tax, and terms.

Invoice

A numbered, branded PDF plus a shareable web invoice, generated for you.

Paid

Your payment details on every invoice — bank, PayPal, whatever you accept.

Secure

We never touch your money. Clients pay you directly, however you already get paid.

Fast

Forward to finished invoice in about a minute, from any mail client.

Private

You review every draft. Nothing reaches your client without your say-so.

Support

Reply in plain English — “make it $2,600 and net-15” — and it regenerates.

Delivered

On Pro: see the moment your client opens the invoice, and chase with auto-reminders.

What we deliberately left out

No dashboard. No templates. No expense tracking. No client portal.

Every invoicing suite started simple and grew a bookkeeping department. MailToInvoice is the opposite bet: the email you already have is the input, and your inbox is the interface. The web app exists only for your logo, your history, and your billing — you may never open it after day one.

The finished article

Ten invoice designs. You never fill one in.

You forward the email — we typeset it. Choose the look once and every invoice after that arrives in it, as a PDF and as a web page your client can pay from.

ClassicFree

Clean white stock with a colored total band. The safe default.

SimpleFree

No bands or fills — just type and hairlines. Quiet and universal.

PostalFree

Cream stock, airmail stripe, typewriter body. Reads like it came through the post.

MinimalPro

Every fact in a rail down the left. Monochrome, for corporate and legal clients.

BoldPro

Leads with the amount due, at 28pt, in a full-width color field.

EditorialPro

A centered letterpress masthead in Times. Reads like stationery.

LedgerPro

A ruled account book set in mono — every figure lines up. For bookkeeping work.

MarquePro

One 44pt word across the top, in your color. For studios.

DocketPro

A framed job panel, client left and sender right. Reads like a work order.

RemittancePro

Serif stationery with a tear-off payment slip at the foot. Bills like the ones posted.

Classic, Simple and Postal come with the free plan — the airmail one included. Minimal, Bold, Editorial, Ledger, Marque, Docket and Remittance come with Pro, alongside your logo and your brand color.

Pricing

One paid tier. That’s the whole table.

Invoicing suites charge $17–38/month for a bookkeeping department you didn’t ask for. This should cost less than the coffee you drink while doing it.

Export every invoice to CSV anytime, and delete your account — and its data — whenever you want.

Stripe-secured payments

Payments run entirely on Stripe, deposited to your own Stripe account. We never see or hold card numbers or funds.

Invoicing shouldn’t slow you down.

We built MailToInvoice for the way you already work. No dashboards to learn, no templates to fill, no busywork. Just forward the email, and get back to what you were actually hired to do.

Private. Simple. Fast. Made for professionals.

Frequently asked questions

How does MailToInvoice work?
You get a private forwarding address like you-x7f2@mailtoinvoice.com. Forward any client email or PDF quote to it, and within about 60 seconds you receive a branded PDF invoice carrying your own payment details, ready to send. Reply in plain English to change anything.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Free covers 3 open invoices at a time — settle one and the slot comes back, so getting paid never costs you a slot — with a small "Powered by MailToInvoice" footer. Pro is $12/month (or $99/year) for unlimited invoices, every premium template, your logo and brand color, branded invoice links, client-open tracking and automatic reminders.
Does the invoice go straight to my client?
No — you always receive the draft first. You forward it to your client yourself or click send once you've checked it. Nothing is ever sent to a client without your explicit OK.
What happens to my emails?
Forwarded emails are processed by an AI model to extract the invoice details, and the resulting invoice is saved to your account. Payments are processed by Stripe — we never touch card numbers. Full details are in our privacy policy.
