## The Hook

Invoice Ninja is freelancer/SMB invoicing you can self-host when SolidInvoice is the PHP twin and Stripe Billing is the subscription engine.

## What's Good

ELv2 source-available. Invoices, quotes, payments, expenses, timetracking, client portal. Self-host gets Pro/Enterprise feature set in the code. Hosted Free: 5 clients, unlimited invoices. White-label self-host ~$40/yr.

## The Catch

LOUD: NOT OSI open source — ELv2 forbids offering it as competing hosted SaaS. Hosted Pro from ~$14/mo (2026 pricing). Vs Lago/Autumn: client invoicing, not usage metering/MoR. Attribution stays unless white-label.

## Verdict

ELv2 invoicing. Self-host free for your biz; hosted Free 5 clients / Pro paid.
