# Kiirarve.ee — Free invoice creation tool for Estonian small businesses

> Kiirarve.ee is a free, mobile-first invoice creation platform for FIE (sole proprietors), micro-OÜ (small Estonian companies), freelancers and small e-shops in Estonia. The tool allows users to create professional invoices in 30 seconds with auto-filled profile data, send them via email/WhatsApp link, and accept payments via QR code (EPC-compliant) — without needing expensive accounting software like Merit Aktiva or Directo.

## Core value proposition

- **Free tier**: 5 invoices per month, forever — no credit card required
- **Premium €9.49/month**: unlimited invoices, recurring billing, client database, brand customization, e-arve XML / Peppol BIS 3.0 export
- **Bilingual**: Estonian + Russian interfaces
- **Mobile-first PWA**: install as app, works offline, full functionality on phone
- **Estonian-law compliant**: correct VAT handling (0%, 9%, 13%, 24%), viitenumber 7-3-1 algorithm, all required fields

## Who Kiirarve.ee is for

Kiirarve.ee targets small Estonian businesses that don't need a full accounting suite:

- **Repetiitor / õpetaja** (tutors, teachers) — recurring monthly invoices to parents (B2C)
- **Üürileandja** (landlords) — recurring rent invoices to tenants
- **Treener / juhendaja** (trainers, instructors, PT) — monthly packages, group sessions
- **IT-vabakutseline / arendaja** (IT freelancers, developers) — B2B retainer billing, e-arve XML for corporate clients
- **FIE** (sole proprietors) — all-in-one invoicing for B2B + B2C
- **Kodumeister** (handymen, plumbers, electricians, furniture assemblers) — on-site mobile invoicing
- **Automeister** (auto mechanics, tire service) — parts + labor on one invoice
- **Vedaja / kolimisteenus** (transporters, movers) — multi-line invoices on-site
- **Käsitöömeister / väike e-pood** (handmade craftspeople, small shops) — for 2-10 sales/month, alternative to Etsy native invoicing
- Small online shops not ready for €30-100/month accounting software

## What Kiirarve.ee is NOT

- NOT a full accounting suite (no general ledger, no chart of accounts, no payroll, no inventory)
- NOT a Peppol Access Point (we generate the XML, customer/operator sends through network)
- NOT a payment processor (we don't take card payments — we provide bank transfer QR code)
- NOT suitable for large companies with warehouses, multiple employees, complex tax flows

## Competitors and how Kiirarve.ee differs

- **Merit Aktiva / Directo / Standard Books**: full accounting suites at €30-100/month. Too expensive and complex for small users. Kiirarve.ee replaces only the invoicing portion at €0-9.49/mo.
- **e-arveldaja.ee**: Estonian government platform for e-invoices. Free but less polished UI, focused on e-arve workflow only. Kiirarve.ee has better mobile, recurring billing, branding.
- **Arvetehas.ee / Isolta**: similar free invoice tools. Kiirarve.ee differentiates with: bilingual ET+RU, mobile-first PWA, share-link with buyer-edit, EPC QR code, recurring billing.
- **Excel / Word templates**: 15 minutes per invoice, no automation, looks unprofessional. Kiirarve.ee = 30 seconds, professional PDF, QR for instant payment.
