$10 a month, billed monthly in advance. If you let the trial lapse, your data stays put; you just can’t create new time entries, expenses, or invoices until you subscribe.

Pricing FAQ
Is there a free plan?
No. Happy Hours has one paid plan at $10/month, with a 14-day free trial so you can run real projects through it first. If you only need a document, the estimate builder and invoice builder are free to use with no account.
Do I need a credit card to start the trial?
No. Sign up, use everything for 14 days, and add a card only if you decide to subscribe.
What happens when my free trial ends?
Your data stays right where it is, but you won’t be able to create new time entries, expenses, or invoices until you subscribe. Subscribe and you pick up where you left off.
Is everything really included for $10?
Yes. Every feature is in the one plan: project management, time tracking, expenses with bank sync and receipt reading, budgets, estimates, invoicing, online payments, and financial insights. There are no feature tiers, no add-ons, no usage limits, and no per-seat pricing.
Are there any fees beyond the $10 a month?
Only when a client pays an invoice online. A Stripe processing fee applies: 0.8% capped at $5 for bank transfers, or 2.9% + $0.30 for cards. The fee comes out of the payment you receive. It applies during the free trial too. If a client pays by cash, check, or Zelle, mark the invoice paid and nothing is charged.
Can I pass the processing fee on to my clients?
Not as a surcharge: clients always pay exactly the invoice amount. What you can do is accept bank transfers only, so a $3,000 invoice costs $5 to collect instead of $87.30 by card. Untick card payments on an invoice, or switch them off in your invoice defaults.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. It’s month to month with no contract. Cancel directly from your settings page, and your data is yours: email us and we’ll send you a full export.
Is Happy Hours a good fit for a team?
It’s built for one-person businesses: independent contractors, freelancers, and consultants who track their own time and send their own invoices. Teams with several people logging time against the same projects aren’t a good fit.
Can I use Happy Hours outside the US?
Invoicing and online payments are in US dollars for US businesses, and bank sync via Plaid is US only. If you’re outside the US, get in touch about the international beta.
Can I see the product before I sign up?
Yes. Watch the two-minute demo, or book a 20-minute walkthrough with the team. The free trial is the full product too, so you can try it on a real project.
Do you help with setup or switching from another tool?
Yes, and it’s free. Book a setup call and we’ll import your clients and projects from your current tool. Support comes from the people who built Happy Hours, not a chatbot.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Happy Hours is a web app that works on desktop, phone, and tablet. On an iPhone, add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.
