Hi Rohit,

Nice list! Just wanted to suggest our invoicing app as well (Yanomo.com). Yanomo lets you create your invoices right from your budgets or your worked time. We have developed it around a powerful online calendar where you can plan tasks and write time from one place. It integrates with Google Calendar, iCal and Twitter.

Since we developed it ourselves I will leave rating it to others but feel free to have a look.

– Invoicing
– Time tracking
– Flexible rates per user/client/project
– Task scheduling
– Google calendar sync
– Accurate progress estimation though “Team sourcing”
– Project budgets, estimates and timelines
– Reporting by user, client, project, phase and task
– Every report exportable to csv
– It’s free for small companies up to 3 users (unlimited projects) and for 8 EUR/user/month you’ll get invoicing with it as well.

Cheers,
Joost Schouten
