Fee-Lion

Estimates to Invoices to Paid, Without the Busywork

Fee-Lion

Fee-Lion is invoicing and billing software for small studios and independent professionals — estimates, invoices, recurring billing, expenses, and a branded client portal that gets you paid faster. Media Lion designed and built the product, brand, and platform end to end.

The Challenge

Make Getting Paid the Easy Part

Freelancers and small studios lose hours to invoicing tools that are either bloated accounting suites or bare-bones generators that look unprofessional. Fee-Lion had to be the sharp middle — a fast flow from estimate to invoice to payment, a client experience that builds trust, and pricing that respects a small team's budget.

  • A Crowded, Boring Category
    Billing software is owned by legacy accounting apps. Fee-Lion needed a distinct brand and a genuinely better flow to stand out.
  • Payments Had to Be Frictionless
    Getting paid is the whole point — card payment and a clean checkout had to be first-class, not bolted on.
  • Clients Judge You by the Invoice
    The client-facing experience had to feel polished and trustworthy the moment an invoice landed.
  • Recurring & Expenses Add Complexity
    Subscriptions, recurring invoices, and expenses needed to feel simple despite the logic underneath.

The Solution

A Clean, Full-Stack Billing Platform
