Exactly what problem does this solve?

Creating an invoice is very easy. You can more or less reuse another invoice and replicate it in Word or Excel, just replacing the information with your own and your customers.

The added value would come from integration with bookkeeping, but I see nothing about that in the linked page.

It allows users to create invoices fast and without having to pay a monthly bill.

Im a freelancer myself, and some of my friends had this problem too, so i made it into a product.

While you can edit a template on Word and create invoices, it does not remember your company information, payment details, and you don't have an overview of all of your invoices, customers etc. Not to be rude, but that's like saying "Why would i use Uber when i can just pick up my phone and call a cab" - convenience, cheaper, faster.

I think a lot of business owners and freelancers would like a tool where they dont have a monthly bill. A tool that is easy to use etc.

With that said, i do see your point and trust me, i dont plan to stop here. This is just the beginning. Thank you so much for your input.

But this already exists for free - many time tracking apps out there have invoicing built in and a free plan for solo developers. Plus additional features.
Can you link me one? I want to compare the UIUX, speed of creating an invoice, how smart it is etc. Thanks!
Zoho invoice is a good one: https://www.zoho.com/invoice/
Thanks. I just tried it. Im confident my tool is easier to use, offers a better experience and does not overwhelm users.

That is just my opinion though. If you find Zoho good, thats great as well.
