Abby pricing, use cases, and first steps
Abby is business software: an invoicing and admin tool for French micro-entrepreneurs (auto-entrepreneurs) and freelancers. You write your quotes and invoices, track the payments you receive, and report your revenue to Urssaf, the French social contributions agency. AI plays a modest role: writing help, and an assistant, “Abby Intelligence,” still in early access.
Abby has a free plan. The recommended plan to start with: Basique, €0. Prices checked on October 3, 2026 on the vendor’s official page.

What Abby does
Who it’s for: micro-entrepreneurs, freelancers, and very small businesses in France that invoice their clients themselves.
E-invoicing at no extra cost
Abby is a platform approved by the French government for e-invoicing. You receive your suppliers’ invoices in Abby, you issue yours in the Factur-X format, and the data goes to the tax authorities automatically.
Card payment on the invoice
You add a payment link to the invoice. The client pays by card online, with no bank transfer to enter. Abby takes a fee on each payment, lower on the more expensive plans.

- Urssaf filing from Abby
- Connected bank, sorted transactions
- Reminders and quote signatures

What the free plan includes
The “Basique” plan is free, with no time limit and no credit card: unlimited invoices and quotes, e-invoicing, revenue and purchase ledgers, Urssaf contribution estimates, VAT threshold alert. It does not let you email invoices, connect your bank, file with Urssaf, or take card payments.
Nova’s advice
Start with “Basique”: it is enough to invoice by the rules and for e-invoicing. Move to Start the day you want to email your invoices and file with Urssaf without leaving Abby. Pro is worth it when you are chasing unpaid invoices.
