artist, designers, and photographers

i am looking to get a invoice program that will just keep track of my invoices and job numbers and projects. i was looking at bento 3 and MacFreelance... has anyone used these programs and how do they fair... i don't have a lot of money and i just need something simple and easy to use.. thanks

i use Bento...seems to work fine for me, and the iPhone app lets me keep track of my time when i am working away from the home office.

Nice I have read good stuff about it? What do you do if you don't mind me asking

i have a freelance graphic design business...i use the software to track my time on products, my billing as well as my expenses.

i second bento

I use Billings. Billings 3 | Professional Time Billing for Anyone. I use it when doing freelance work for folks, helps me time and then create the invoice. I think macfreelance does the same. I never could get into bento. I've tried it and it just wasn't my cup of tea. I know a new version came out not long ago so I might give it another try, but so far I like Billings. Macfreelance is good and so is on the job.

You might give some of those a try as well. I'd say download them all and play with them to see what suites your needs. Some of them are basic, others are really powerful. I believe most of them allows you to load "sample"data, so you can see what the app will look like with various entries and what not.
