  1. Very nice invoicing app. But very expensive for what it offers beyond the free edition. You could easily purchase equivalent invoicing programs for under $50 that offer as many features and conveniences as the $249 Pro version of Cretica. And there are plenty of good ones to choose from. In fact, you could purchase a full basic accounting system for the same amount of money as Cretica Pro.

    Good looking product marred by a somewhat unrealistic price tag IMHO.
