What type of business are you running?
What are you looking in a invoicing software? just basic invoice generate/ send feature ? or do you want e-payments ( so your customer can pay online and the invoice system gets updated with PAID)? do you want over due notifications etc? do you have lot of GST/HST/PST/QST requirements?


its going to be hard to find a "free" invoicing software with no bait and switch. You can try the following options:

1) Find an Excel template - and use that for manually sending invoices and manual tracking
2) try wave accounting : https://www.waveapps.com/invoice/
3) Invoicera : https://www.invoicera.com/pricing.html
3) Freshbooks ( not sure if they have a free account - may be they do)
3) Quickbooks ( same thing - not sure if they have free account).
4) Paypal Email Invoice
5) if you are little technical, look into invoiceninja or invoiceplane. https://invoiceplane.com/
They are opensource, you can install them on your websever (godaddy etc) for free, and can as use it as a cloud services. Now because its opensource, you will have to do some tweaks to personalize it, but its easy.

The problem with Cloud or Saas is, the cloud company will own your data. so tomorrow if they get sued or shutdown, all your data goes with them. However with option 5 (invoiceplane), you own the data and your development. you can enhance it, remove or restrict the feature as per your need. But then again, depends on what type of business you are running, and your needs for invoicing.


Goodluck

I want to use this software just to handover to my few clients. Need simple paper to handover to them. No epayments or email . Just show client name , job description price however some jobs will show hay and some are not . Some services I offer are not taxable.

Solutions mentioned:
Only because it has a feature doesn't mean you have to use it.
You save time when you have customer addresses or products/services saved and just quickly choose them instead reentering them all the time.
Errors are also more unlikely.

But in your case: go with Excel or with open source solutions.
Good luck.
