getHonorar

getHonorar is an invoicing app for self-employed professionals — coaches, supervisors, therapists, consultants and freelancers — who send a handful of invoices a month and would rather not spend an evening on them. You pick a client, pick a service from your catalogue, enter a quantity, and the invoice is done: VAT, totals and every mandatory detail are calculated and stated for you.

The part most invoicing tools leave to you is the tax wording. getHonorar states it automatically, per line item: standard-rated (20% in Austria, 19% in Germany), small-business exempt (§19 UStG in Germany, §6 Abs. 1 Z 27 UStG in Austria) or fully exempt — the correct legal note is placed on the document without you having to look it up. VAT IDs of EU business clients can be checked against the VIES registry before you send.

Invoices go out as PDFs in one of ten layouts, from a plain classic through to editorial and typographic designs, each carrying your logo, your accent colour and your own footer. Every layout can embed an EN 16931 e-invoice (ZUGFeRD): a single PDF that your corporate clients' accounting systems can import directly. A SEPA payment QR code on the invoice lets clients pay by scanning it with their banking app.

A dashboard tells you where the money is: what clients still owe you, what is overdue, and how invoiced and paid amounts have moved over the last twelve months — so chasing a payment starts with seeing it rather than digging for it.

Around the invoice itself, getHonorar keeps a client list and a service catalogue you set up once and reuse, writes quotes that convert into invoices on acceptance, and summarises your paid invoices by VAT rate for the quarterly VAT return — exportable as PDF or CSV for your accountant. Once an invoice has gone out it is locked, and changes go through proper cancellation and correction documents, so your records stay audit-proof. Several companies or brands can live in one account, each with its own logo, layout, bank details and invoice number sequence.

Clients can book you online: you publish a booking page, getHonorar reads your free slots from Google Calendar and writes confirmed appointments back into it, and each booked appointment is kept so you can invoice it later — the calendar entry and the invoice line are the same piece of work, not two systems to reconcile. Booking and the light CRM (one next action per client, with email reminders) are optional add-ons.

Your data is hosted in the EU and the app is built for GDPR compliance; you can export your invoices as PDFs at any time. The interface is available in English and German, and the app runs in any browser and installs as a PWA on phones and tablets. Pricing is a flat subscription — no per-seat charges, no transaction fees, no sales call — and there is a 30-day free trial that needs no credit card.
