For agencies and consultancies

Subscription billing for agencies and consultancies.

Monthly retainers next to one-off project invoices, on the payment terms you actually agreed, with polite reminders when a payment slips. Clients pay through your own Stripe, PayPal or bank account.

From $39 a month, never a percentage of what your clients pay. We never hold your money.

The film

An agency's retainers, invoiced and paid, in 47 seconds.

Retainers on the 1st, project invoices on the same client, and reminders that go out by themselves.

Built for work that recurs

The four things that matter when clients pay you.

01

Retainers that invoice on the 1st

A flat monthly or quarterly retainer, invoiced on the day you choose, due in 30, 60 or 90 days. The same client can carry two retainers for two workstreams.

Retainer $3,500 · invoiced on the 1st · net 30
02

Project invoices next to the retainer

The website revamp, the extra sprint, the workshop: a one-off invoice raised in a minute, on the same client, in the same list. No second tool.

03

Bank transfers, cards, both

A client who pays by transfer is recorded against the invoice when the money lands; one who prefers a card pays from the invoice page. Either way the invoice closes itself.

Reminders you never have to write

On the due date and after it: polite, in your name, with a link to the invoice. You decide the schedule once and it runs for every invoice.

A worked example

How a design agency with 38 clients runs on yRecurring.

Norte Studio bills monthly retainers plus project work. Retainers went out from a template on the 1st, project invoices from another tool, and late payments were chased by whoever remembered.

  1. 01Each client's retainer invoiced on the 1st, net 30, with one-off project invoices raised on the same client.
  2. 02Clients pay by bank transfer, recorded against the invoice when it lands, or by card from the invoice page.
  3. 0338 clients and 6 open invoices imported before the next invoice run.
  • Reminders go out on the due date and after it, polite and in the studio's name. The partners stopped chasing.
  • One list of everything a client owes, retainer and projects together.
  • Month end is a look at a list, not a reconciliation.

Move your clients over before the next invoice run.

Export your clients and open invoices from the tool you use now as a spreadsheet, upload it, and check the preview line by line. Nothing is written until you approve it, and no client gets an email about an old invoice. Invoice dates carry over, so nothing is billed twice.

Questions, answered

Before you move a single customer.

Can I invoice on net 30?

Yes. Net 30, 60 or 90, set per client or per plan, printed on the invoice, and used for the reminders.

Can a client pay by bank transfer?

Yes. Record the payment against the invoice when it lands and the invoice closes. Clients who prefer a card pay from the invoice page.

Can I raise a one-off invoice?

Yes. A project, an extra sprint, a workshop: a one-off invoice on the same client, in the same list as the retainer.

Do reminders go out by themselves?

Yes. On the due date and after it, on a schedule you set once, polite and in your name.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. Self serve plans are month to month, and you can export every client, invoice and payment any time, in open formats.

Send your first retainer invoice this month.
