Searching an Invoicing Application

Our business is getting more complicated, so I am in need of an application to create invoices, to keep track of the items bought and the payments received.

Luckily there is a suite of applications to chose from: GrandTotal, Billings, iBiz, Invoice3, Billable, Invoicer, Involer. And probably I am missing some. So there is a good selection, but which to chose?

Involer is just to simple for me.

iBiz seems an application mainly for time-based projects. And I only have quantity based items. The offered templates do not seem very advanced. I seem to get this application working for. I however get a MacOS 9 feeling, so I moved on.

Invoice3 is mainly geared towards the sale of products with large catalogs, etc. I did not find the interface very intuitive. I had a difficult time imagining that this app could work for me.

Invoicer is a doubtful application. I did not find their website serious enough. And I do need an application that I can rely on. A very simple application. Unfortunately I was not able to get it going for me and I got stuck quickly.

Billable is a bit to simple. I especially miss the possibility to create a catalog of possible services. And I do not see an easy way to adapt the invoices.

GrandTotal seems a great application to do what I want. It has a large range of templates to chose from and you can adapt them easily. It has been adapted to other languages as well, which is important for me. I have to dive into this application a bit more to see whether I can adapt it to my workflow. And I have to work on the templates to see if I can make something nice.

Billings is at the moment my favorite application. There is a large selection of possible templates and you adapt them to suit you. I have been working to create my own invoice, which works out. It is an extremely complex system with many possibilities. The documentation is very lacking here.
