QuickBooks Solopreneur is built around accounting — expenses, mileage, and tax estimates with invoicing attached. GigPaper is built around the job itself: a proposal, a signed contract, and an invoice your client pays by clicking a link. Different starting points for the same freelancer.

Your main job is keeping the books — categorizing expenses, tracking mileage, separating business and personal spending, and seeing estimated quarterly taxes. It's an accounting tool first, and that's exactly what some solos want once invoicing is a small part of a bigger financial picture.
The painful part of your week isn't bookkeeping — it's quoting the work, getting it signed, and getting paid. GigPaper covers the whole thread: a proposal, a contract signed in one click, and an invoice your client pays by card with the money landing directly in your own account. It's a flat $10/month, clients never make an account, your client book is end-to-end encrypted, and everything exports free. Many freelancers run GigPaper for the client-facing paperwork and hand a tidy CSV export to their accountant or bookkeeping tool at tax time.
Plenty of freelancers do. Run GigPaper for proposals, contracts, and getting invoices paid, then export your history as CSV for whatever you (or your accountant) use to do the books. GigPaper does not give tax advice or file returns.
No. GigPaper is paperwork — proposals, contracts, invoices, time tracking, and payments. It is not accounting software and does not provide tax advice. If you need full bookkeeping, keep an accounting tool alongside it.
Never. They open a link to read, sign, or pay. Card payments land directly in your own connected account, and GigPaper takes 0% of your invoices.
30 days free, no card. Clients never sign up. You keep 100% of your money.
