Common questions

No catch. Here's why.

Is it really free? What's the catch?
The PDF generator is free forever — no signup, no watermark, no trial. The free tier includes 5 AI assists per day (voice input, scope polish, suggestions, translation). Stubsmith Pro at $8.99/mo unlocks unlimited AI, cloud-saved document history, multiple business profiles, and direct email sending. Annual is $89/year. TradeHomeBase ($14.99/mo+) adds full project tracking for contractors managing many jobs.
Do I have to sign up or give an email?
No account, no email, no credit card. Open the page, fill the form, download the PDF. Optional: save your business info locally in your browser so the next doc auto-fills.
Where is my data stored?
Only on your device. Logo, business info, line items, client details — all stored in your browser's local storage. Nothing uploaded to a server. We literally can't see your data.
Can I use it for non-trade businesses?
Yes. While the smart defaults are tuned for trades, any service business — cleaning, freelancing, consulting, pet services — can pick a generic template and use the same generator.
What does Stubsmith Pro unlock vs the free tier?
Free: unlimited PDFs, all 3 doc types, no watermark, 5 AI assists/day, local save of last 5 drafts. Pro ($8.99/mo or $89/yr): unlimited AI calls, cloud-saved history of every doc you've created, multiple business profiles, custom PDF branding, send direct to client via email, priority support. Both tiers stay free of ads, watermarks, and per-PDF charges forever.
What if I need to track 50+ invoices a month?
That's exactly when TradeHomeBase makes sense — once you're tracking who paid what, sending reminders, and managing multiple jobs at once. THB Basic starts at $14.99/mo (just $6 above Stubsmith Pro), includes everything in Pro plus full project tracking, recurring invoices, client portal, and document history. 14-day free trial, no per-user fees.
