About Invoice by Alto
Invoice by Alto (now delivered through the Alto Timer app) is a mobile-first billing tool for solo workers — freelancers, contractors, consultants, designers, musicians, and trades — who want to run a one-person business from their phone. It combines one-tap time tracking, expense/receipt logging, and invoice creation with payment collection via CashApp, PayPal, Bitcoin, and Maya. Its main differentiator is the 'Alto Price Guarantee': free for the first three months, then a locked-in 99¢/month rate that never rises.
