How the limits work
Anything not covered here is probably in the docs.
- What counts as a drafted invoice?
- Each time you ask for a draft, whether from notes, a time-tracker export or commit history, and whether in the browser, from the command line or through Slack, that is one. Editing the draft afterwards, by hand or by chat, does not use another. Free includes 3 a month and Pro includes 100.
- What happens when I reach a limit?
- Nothing you have made is locked. You can still write and edit invoices by hand, download PDFs and mark invoices paid. Drafting and sending start again when the limit resets.
- Is there a free trial of Pro?
- There is no timed trial. The Free plan is the trial: 3 drafted invoices every month for as long as you like, with no card on file.
- Why is there a daily cap on email?
- Invoices go out from one sending address shared by every account, and the cap keeps that address trusted by your clients’ mail providers. 5 a day on Free and 50 on Pro is well above what invoicing needs.
- What is the "Sent with Sandglass" line?
- On the Free plan, the email that carries an invoice ends with one small line naming Sandglass. Pro removes it. The PDF does not carry it on either plan.
- Do my clients pay anything, or need an account?
- No. Clients receive an email and a PDF. They pay you directly through the payment links you set up, and no fee is taken from what they pay.
