About this template

Startup is the SaaS and indie-maker template: logo-forward with a soft gradient band so the invoice feels like the rest of your product, not a legal form.

Style: Startup. Best fit for SaaS work when you need a print-ready PDF that matches the live preview above.

Who it suits

  • Early-stage startups
  • Indie makers
  • Subscription tools

Real billing scenario

An indie SaaS founder invoices an agency partner for monthly white-label seats. Soft branding keeps the invoice on-brand with the product UI.

Example line items

  • White-label seats × 25
  • Priority support add-on
  • Onboarding call

Fields worth including

  • Billing period
  • Seat count
  • Cancellation / prorate note

Common mistakes with this layout

  • Missing the service period so renewals look like duplicate charges
  • No tax ID when selling cross-border into VAT regions

Friendly invoices for product companies

Startup is for early-stage companies, indie makers and subscription tools that want the invoice to feel like the rest of the product: logo-forward, soft gradient band, approachable rather than legalistic. Investors and first customers still need correct totals. Startup simply presents them without stiff corporate styling.

Layout details

  • Stacked, brand-forward header with space for a recognisable mark.
  • Soft accent band that reads well on screen.
  • Open item table for plan names and add-ons.
  • Totals that stay obvious for finance teammates joining later.

Typical billing scenarios

Monthly SaaS plans, onboarding packages, usage overages, and founding-customer discounts. List the plan name and seat count explicitly; “Pro plan” alone causes upgrade disputes.

Filling tips

Show the billing period on every recurring line. If you offer annual prepay with a discount, show list price and discount as separate lines for clean books. Add your support email in notes so customers do not reply-all to a no-reply mailbox.

When to pick something else

Choose Dark or Mono for a more technical look. Choose Corporate once you sell into enterprises with strict AP portals. Choose Ocean for multi-phase consulting sold alongside the product.
