Five typical scenarios from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland: freelancer billing, tool matching, and first measurable results with Billyr.
Eight invoices per month from freelance writers. Review was handled on the side — mostly not at all.
Discrepancy found: 5h overbilled (at €70 = €350). ROI month 1: +€201.
We never actively checked it. Now we know why that was a mistake.
The owner reviewed invoices himself — rarely with real accuracy.
A freelancer's hourly rate was €15 too high for four months. Retroactive damage: €720. ROI: +€571.
He quietly raised his rate. Billyr caught it immediately.
Jira was in use, but invoices were never matched against it.
Two invoices for services never logged in Jira. Discrepancy: CHF 890. ROI: covered multiple times over.
With six freelancers at once, you lose track. Billyr gave it back.
The owner reviewed everything herself — losing up to three hours per month.
Time saved: 2.5h/month. Discrepancy found: 4h × €65 = €260. ROI month 1: +€111.
I save myself the stress — that's worth it alone.
Toggl was in use, but the office manager had no access. Invoices were approved blindly.
Three discrepancies in the first review. Total saved: €640. ROI month 1: +€491.
The real value is the good feeling when you pay.
