Best Invoice App for Africa
Skip the app store. Invoice directly on WhatsApp.
Built for Africa
Most invoice apps don't work well in Africa. They need constant internet, take up phone storage, and cost too much. wabill is different.
Why traditional invoice apps fail in Africa
Data costs — Invoice apps need to sync constantly. Every time you open them, they use data. In Africa, data is expensive:
- South Africa: R149+ for 1GB
- Nigeria: ₦1,000+ for 1GB
- Kenya: KES 99+ for 1GB
- Ghana: GHS 10+ for 1GB
- Zimbabwe: $1+ for 1GB
WhatsApp bundles are a fraction of this cost.
Storage space — Phones in Africa often have limited storage. Invoice apps take 50-200MB. wabill uses 0MB — it runs on WhatsApp, which you already have.
Complexity — Most invoice apps are designed for accountants, not tradespeople. Complex features you'll never use. Confusing menus. wabill is simple: chat, invoice, done.
wabill: The WhatsApp alternative
wabill isn't an app. It's a WhatsApp service. You message us, we create your invoice as a PDF, you send it to your client. That's it.
