## The Hook

InvoiceShelf is Crater continued — SMB invoices on your server, not a billing OS.

## What's Good

AGPL-3.0. Self-host everything: invoices, estimates, expenses, client portal, Stripe on your box. No seats, no subscription, no upsell. Stable 2.4.2 (Jul 29 2026). Pitch is OSS on your infra.

## The Catch

SMB invoices/estimates/expenses/portal + Stripe on your server — not Kill Bill/Lago subscription orchestration or usage metering. Crater cut re-opened as InvoiceShelf. Distinct from Kill Bill and Lago.

## Verdict

AGPL SMB invoicing you host. Free forever; not a metering engine.
