What Refrens does
Refrens started as an invoicing tool and now covers accounting, sales pipelines, approvals and inventory. Freelancers and agencies often use the free plan to send professional invoices and track payments.
How the pricing works
Plans step up by capability: Accounts Lite removes limits and branding, Accounts Pro adds GST compliance and bookkeeping, Workflows adds approvals, and Operations adds inventory. Services is a managed accounting offering. All prices exclude GST.
Where it fits
Refrens suits service businesses that want invoicing and a light CRM together. Product businesses that bill at a counter will usually be better served by myBillBook or Vyapar.
