Spotsaas Editor’s POV

FreshBooks works best for freelancers, small agencies, and service businesses handling invoicing, expense tracking, and basic project costing. The interface requires minimal training, and core features—time tracking, expense categorization, project assignment—are straightforward to set up. Account managers are available for onboarding calls, and the mobile app ...Read more

Freshbooks pros and cons

  • User-friendly interface, making it simple to set up and use even for non-accounting experts.

  • Excellent customer support with responsive, knowledgeable, and patient account managers, frequently cited for their exceptional service.

  • Effective for small and freelance businesses, particularly for tasks like invoicing, expense tracking, and bookkeeping.

  • Offers valuable features like recurring billing, time tracking, project collaboration, and seamless payment integrations (e.g., PayPal, Stripe).

  • Reporting functionalities and customizations are less capable compared to industry giants, limiting advanced financial analysis.

  • Invoice customization options are relatively limited, which may not meet specific branding needs.

Add additional Functions/Features

I hesitate giving a rating of 3 - it is more a 4 to 4+ - It would be most helpful to have a feature to apply credits and refunds to accounts. Also the additional customization to invoices for those of us who would like the use of "Payment upon Receipt". Otherwise it is very user friendly.

Not Bad

FreshBooks is perhaps too simple to use. It doesn't detail its charges to you on your website for tax purposes. I should be able to pull up and print out a sheet for this, but I can't. I would also like to add or modify categories for expenses, but I can't do that either. FreshBooks could do with less streamlining and more adaptability to customers' needs. I like the program a lot, so I gave it four stars, but it can be deficient.

Invoicing Like a Pro

It's very helpful to finally have professional and pleasant looking invoices to send to clients that don't take a lot of time to generate. I'd used the invoices that are included in Mac's software for years. FreshBooks is much better, simpler, faster, cleaner, more detailed and looks like I've really got it together to clients-- which is always a plus! The best part is that it's pleasant to use. It would be nice to have a feature to track payments from yearly contract clients who send ...

Freshbooks is a "refreshing" way to manage your accounting needs!

What do you like best? To start off my review, I like that the program is based in the cloud. This allows me to access my information in real time from anywhere on the go. Another great feature with FreshBooks is the ability to setup multiple company profiles. FreshBooks also implements intuitive features to allow you to easily generate and manage invoices or client information. As well as features such as time tracking to watch how much time you may spend on a particular task. Other ...

FreshBooks is simple, effective and fun!

I love the FreshBooks experience and how easy it is to keep track of expenses, invoices and income for my small jewelry business. It has everything I need and nothing that I don't need. I love the recurring billing option, reminder options and payment options for my clients. I also love that I can use my existing Stripe account which is integrated into my online shop already so all of my payments go to the same place. The experiences I've had with FreshBooks customer service have been ...

basic, laggy & glitchy

I've been using freshbooks for almost 2 months, the experience hasn't been that great at all... It is very basic; I've previously mentioned the addition of a few tasks that would make this software a lot better.When entering data into an invoice it is very slow and laggy for most of the time, especially when you've got more a few items in description.I've also been logged out out of nowehere mutliple times while entering data.

Things to improve on:

I've used a handful of different invoice templates and am familiar w/ what's available. Freshbooks excels at overall site organization, ease of use, and ability to share w/ clients, update, etc. For $15/month, for the amount I use it, it's not worth it. Suggestion #1, there should be a lower tier price point. My freelance is just supplementary to my regular job, so I may use it once or twice a month. Not worth $15. I've been looking for an alternative actually. Some other suggestions to ...

I like it, I wish it were less expensive since I don't use it too frequently. But it's a great service.
