- Client and lead management
- Expense and accounting features
Where billkitnow is better

Being straight about it
A suite is the right answer for a lot of businesses. If you want one login for everything, we are not that.
Questions
Is billkitnow really free?
Yes. Every document type, all eight templates and unlimited documents are free, and no account is needed for your first one.
When should I choose Refrens instead?
If you want CRM, expenses, a lead pipeline and invoicing under one login, a suite makes sense. If you want the shortest possible path from blank screen to sent PDF, that is our whole design brief.
Can I use both?
Often that is the sensible answer — one tool for the document you send a client, another for whatever else your business needs.
