Who is this for?

Who Made with Pepper is built for, what license fits your setup, and what the product does not try to be.

On this page

Made with Pepper is for small businesses that want to connect customer work, documents and money on their own server. A perpetual licence covers the installed application; a cancellable yearly membership gives access to updates. You remain responsible for hosting, backups and email delivery.

Home with attention items and separate currency balances

Freelancers and consultants

You want to create professional invoices, send them with payment-ready QR codes, and track payments, all on your own server, with continued use after update access ends.

Made with Pepper gives you:

  • PDF invoices with EPC QR codes for SEPA payments
  • Quotes you can issue and send
  • Payment tracking with status updates
  • Full ownership of your data and files

Small agencies and service businesses

You need multiple people creating invoices, with role-based access that keeps employees focused on their work and the owner informed.

Made with Pepper gives you:

  • Four built-in roles, custom roles and limited guest access
  • Customer and supplier records with multiple contacts
  • Agreed work and fixed-price milestones linked to invoices
  • Purchases, supporting files and tax-period handoff
  • Credit notes for invoice corrections
  • An item catalog for consistent pricing
  • UBL 2.1 XML export for the Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 profile, as a local file download

Developers and technical buyers

Made with Pepper is a Laravel 13 application on MySQL 8.4 or MariaDB 10.11, 11.4 or 11.8 with shared-hosting defaults. Every interactive screen uses React 19 with Inertia 3. Tailwind CSS 4 styles both. PDFs, emails and error pages are Blade templates.

The package includes the PHP, React, TypeScript, JavaScript and CSS source, Blade views, migrations and language files. It also includes locked frontend build configuration. You can change the application and build its frontend again. Compiled assets and PHP dependencies ship for installation without build tools. The internal test suite is private. Follow the frontend customization steps on your development computer.

Who this is not for

  • Enterprises that need procurement contracts or a formal service-level agreement
  • Buyers who want hosted SaaS with no server responsibility
  • Businesses needing full accounting software (general ledger, bank feeds, double-entry bookkeeping)
  • Businesses needing Peppol network sending
  • Agencies wanting to host separate companies inside one installation

Licensing

One license covers one production installation for one business and includes the full source code. You may also use non-production copies for development and staging under that license, as long as they do not serve live business operations.

Each additional production installation needs its own license. See pricing and the license terms.
