| description.long | FOSSBilling is a free and open-source billing and client management platform designed for hosting businesses. It provides automated billing, hosting provisioning, domain management, support ticketing, and an extensible architecture. | VioBusiness is an iPhone and Android app for invoices, quotes, and expenses. It runs entirely on your phone - no sign-up required, no monthly bill - and keeps your books as private as they used to be on paper. Cross-device cloud backup is an optional add-on, never a default. |
