FOSSBilling is a free, open-source billing and client management system designed to help hosting providers and other online service businesses automate invoicing, payments, and customer communication. It provides a web-based interface for managing clients, subscriptions, and common business workflows.

Key Features

  • Billing and invoicing with automated invoice generation, reminders, and basic reporting
  • Client management for storing customer details and managing communication history
  • Multiple payment gateway integrations for collecting online payments
  • Extension-friendly architecture for adding integrations and custom functionality
  • Responsive web UI for desktop and mobile use
  • Multi-language interface powered by community translations

Use Cases

  • Hosting providers managing recurring billing, invoices, and customer accounts
  • SaaS and subscription services handling subscriptions and payment collection
  • Digital services selling licenses, downloads, or recurring maintenance plans

Limitations and Considerations

  • The project is under active development and described as beta, so some rough edges and limited support may be expected

FOSSBilling is a community-driven alternative to proprietary hosting automation suites, emphasizing transparency, extensibility, and control over your own data. It is well-suited for organizations that want a self-managed billing stack with room for customization.
