BillHog
Self-serve invoice portal that automates invoice generation and delivery from Stripe payments
🔗 Visit BillHog
Description
Accepting payments through Stripe is easy, but Stripe's own invoicing can feel rigid, and plenty of founders end up manually creating invoices in a spreadsheet or design tool every time a customer asks for one with proper VAT or Tax ID details. BillHog plugs into Stripe (read-only, no code) and gives your customers a self-serve portal where they can pull up and download invoices for any payment they've made, including ones from before you even installed the tool.
Invoices stay editable after generation — unlike Stripe's own invoicing — so VAT/Tax ID fields can be added or corrected after the fact, and Pro adds automatic invoice delivery on successful payment plus a white-label option that strips BillHog's branding. It's built narrowly around this one workflow: a $12/month flat fee regardless of volume, versus Stripe's percentage-based invoicing fees, with a free tier capped at 50 invoices/month.
💬 Our review
The short version: BillHog solves a real, annoying gap — customers asking for a compliant invoice after the fact — cheaply and without requiring you to touch Stripe's invoicing settings at all.
Its clearest edge against Stripe's native invoicing is the flat $12/month fee: Stripe charges roughly 0.4-0.5% of invoiced volume, so BillHog breaks even around $2,400-$3,000/month in invoiced payments and gets cheaper from there as volume grows, while Stripe's cost keeps scaling. The catch is scope — BillHog only handles Stripe payments and only does self-serve invoice retrieval and delivery, so it's not a substitute for a real accounting or billing platform like Chargebee if you need proration, dunning, or multi-gateway support. For a solo founder or small SaaS just trying to stop fielding 'can I get an invoice?' emails, it's a cheap, narrow fix; for anything more complex, you'll outgrow it.
