Express Invoice Plus

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET staff on October 05, 2009

Express Invoice is a tool for creating invoices and managing bills for small businesses. Its simple layout and helpful options make it a great program for keeping an eye on finances.

We found the program to be instantly inviting, with its functions clearly labeled and helpful onscreen instructions popping up along the way to express what data needed to be placed where. We were able to quickly populate a customer database with all billing information, build our warehouse of sale items from scratch, and apply both of these aspects toward creating an invoice. We were pleased with the professional and highly readable look of our invoices. They were perfect for printing and including with a sale. The program also offered simple tools for creating quotes and order forms, which have the same basic appearance as the invoice. Express Invoice also provided an extensive report-running feature. Here we could look at outstanding payments, current inventory, and much more.

Express Invoice is a freeware program. It comes as a compressed file, installs desktop icons without permission, and leaves behind folders after uninstall. We loved the program's simplicity and recommend it.

"Unexciting but useful"

June 11, 2013 | By wfjackson7

Version: Express Invoice Plus 3.83

Pros
Has all of the basics you'll need for a small-sized business
Very easy to use

Cons
Tech support costs extra and has a limited number of uses for phone support
No real advanced features
Doesn't automatically integrate with the company's inventory management program

Summary
If you don't need frills or advanced features, this program will get the job done. I wouldn't recommend this for a high-end business, or one that has a very dynamic inventory.
