Re: [cobalt-users] OT-Accounting/Billing

["Dave" <dcrudo@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone..

A while ago I was looking for a billing system as well...
the fact was that the price range was quite important
(from $100 -> $3000) ...so while I'm still deciding,
I found this site:

http://www.billingorchard.com/

for few bucks per month ($9.95) you can bill your
customers  One-Time/Regularly for services or for
hours fees... and you can even insert custom fields
for the billing gateway!

Of course is dependent from another site... and
somebody can snoop into your business...

but for the moment until I find an efficient software,
I think it's a valid solution...

I hope it helps,

Cheers,

Dave.
