### "Simple and Useful"

July 8, 2025

4.0

Pros

I enjoyed trying TopNotepad for the freelancing I do on the side. It seemed to be appropriate for my small-scale scope of work. I can appreciate the affordability and that must be a perk for long-term use.

Cons

Using it was a little underwhelming aesthetically, though may be part of its affordable price. I also think it's best used on a computer as the mobile version was not preferable. Glitchy at times but may be a personal thing.

### "Simple application for invoicing"

October 5, 2021

4.0

Pros

TopNotepad is a great invoicing and accounting software for a user that not having a strong background on accounting, but need a simple and easy software to do it. The interface of the dashboard is simplistic enough that a novice user can start learning to use it themself.

Cons

Even though the software is quite simple to use, it still be really helpful if they can provide a deep learning video tutorial so new user can really have a complete learning of all the feature in the software. All other thing is quite standard.

Pros

I'm trying to find a tool to manage expense for projects in my team and I found this website. By using its trial version I can see the benefits that it brings to me. I can add more clients, estimate expense, manage involves, payments and refunds. I also can add and import products. This website comes with 2 categories: Sales and Purchases so you can make your business very clear. The accounting function also helps you with cash book and bank book. I believe the functions of this website are enough for you to manage your business. You can use the trial version before purchasing for a paid account.

Cons

I think it is good enough for me, so I have nothing to complaint.

### "Makes Business Easier"

December 9, 2022

5.0

Overall, TopNotepad made me handle my business easier. It is simple to use and very newbie friendly.

Pros

For me the most impactful features are the tax calculation and online payments. Aside from the fact that it is easy to use, when I started my online business out from scratch I use to do things manually as a process. Integrating the software to the current business processes is smooth. In simple terms, this software is just the most simple and easy to use specially for a newbie like me. There's a feature that this software has and makes it interesting. It is the customizable invoicing. Depending on the customer's or client's need, this feature come in handy.

Cons

I don't feel that there are any more features that are missing or could be improved. I think it is very optimized for us users convenience. There are also no aspects of this product that are difficult to use. I integrated it to my existing business easily but If I were to suggest, I'll say remove the customizable invoicing. That way the client's need to conform to a certain system and not make favors.

### "Our department has been using TopNotepad and it has helped organize our expenses"

March 23, 2019

5.0

Our department has been TopNotepad for just over a year. I initially used it for personal use, and then decided to give it a try at the agency. It has been very helpful for keeping expense records organized. It has saved time in managing and recording expenses, and it also gives reports that are useful for helping decide if expenses are too high, or which expenses are waiting to be paid. We will be continuing to use TopNotepad.

Pros

I like that it saves my department time in recording and managing expenses, ultimately making us more efficient and productive.

Cons

It takes a little time to learn how the system works, but I think that is because we are only using a subset of its large feature set, so it is not really a negative.

Easy to use VAT accounting software. All I do is create invoices and log my bills, the software automatically generates my VAT form.

Nothing much. While I always like to use such software on big screen like a laptop or desktop but still they could create a native ios app, at least for reporting

### "A tool handcrafted for freelancers and small businesses"

August 31, 2016

5.0

TopNotepad is a no-nonsense software. It feels like your natural extension, it shows you what you want to see and would seek minimum information. Example: you need not have email of a client to bill a client, just name is good. A few softwares I used, have email as compulsory field. Another example, in real world, a lot of times invoices are not paid in full in just one payment, it let's you log partial payments.I use all the other features as well, like logging my expenses, managing leads and tracking my books. The experience has been great so far.

Pros

Very very user friendly. Even the least technical person can use it without any help. The in application tutorial are great step-by-step guide. You can play as many times.

### "Easiest VAT Accounting Software"

March 26, 2018

5.0

Pros

Issuing VAT compliant invoices in English/Arabic to tracking VAT liability and getting ready for VAT returns filing, all of it can be achieved using this one software. Great tool for those who do not know Arabic, as the software takes care of the Arabic portion of the invoice.

Cons

The description section of invoice template doesn't convert the English text to Arabic, am having to use Google translate every time, if this feature can be made available it will be very helpful.
