Courier

Courier and Delivery Invoicing App for a Solo Driver (2026)

Short answer

For a solo courier, ShowTheReceipts ($15/mo) matches how the work is billed — per stop, per mile, or per route with waiting time and after-hours rates saved as catalog lines, rolled into one weekly or monthly invoice per business account instead of dozens of tiny ones.

How we picked

Entry-plan prices as published in 2026, checked against each vendor's own pricing page. Tools were judged on the solo driver's real workflow — per-stop and per-mile rates consolidated into weekly account invoices with net terms — not on fleet dispatch or route optimization.

The solo driver’s real workflow

Courier work is tiny tickets at high frequency for a handful of business accounts. Thirty deliveries a week at $14 each is real money and an impossible invoicing problem if you bill each one.

Consolidate per account, per week. That’s the whole system.

Frequently asked questions

What does a solo courier need from an invoicing app?

Saved per-stop, per-mile, and waiting-time rates; consolidation so a business account gets one weekly invoice instead of thirty; and net-terms follow-up. Route optimization matters when you have drivers to route.

What do I get with ShowTheReceipts for $15/month?

Invoicing, card payment, and one tax-ready ledger. Recurring invoicing and automated payment reminders — what makes weekly account billing work — are Pro-plan features at $39/month.

Should I bill per delivery or weekly?

Weekly, for any account doing regular volume. A $14 delivery invoiced on its own costs more in admin and payment fees than it's worth; consolidating a week of them into one invoice is the difference between a business and a hobby.
