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.

Love the program - not stoked about prices

This program is so easy to use and I absolutely love using it. Our customers love the look of the invoices and we have loved having the credit card option available as well. The program is great and we would be happy to pay $25/month as was stated, but this program is apparently only available in American dollars with the exchange rate we got an unexpected bill of $37 :/ I think we will still keep the program, but using it is coming at a much higher cost than we were led to believe. There ...

Intuitive accounting tool for small businesses

I just started using Freshbooks, and find the tool to be intuitive. It's easy to send out professional looking invoices. I wish it was easier to conduct digital payments through the tool to make the process more seamless to send an invoice and get paid through the same process.

So far so good

Been using FreshBooks for a little bit and so far it's going well. I recently started doing freelance meaning I have to do more invoicing and started using the program on recommendation from my financial advisor, no tears due to freshbooks thus far. Also just received my first payment with wepay, again, no complaints.

The Lifeblood of a Growing Business

What do you like best? I love the automation that freshbooks provides. Once set, the system handles recurring invoicing and even allows for automated reminders. The customization options allow me to invoice in a way that works with my business model. The reporting makes end of year reconciliation a breeze and the ability to connect to my bank account to auto-import expenses saves so much time that it makes the difference between having to hire an assistant or just do it myself. What do ...

Shiny on the outside

I'm a freshbooks user for the past 3 years or so, and I was recently registering a new company of mine with you, although this time I was forced to work with the new version instead of the classic one.I must say that the time invested in discussions with your support, waiting for bugs to be cleared, finding that many features were not pushed forward, have just been a waste, and I would have loved utilizing it for better causes.I have chose freshbooks on past experience, although my ...

Great tool for small business

FreshBooks is SO easy to use. I am not an accounting pro... and I'm busy. I would much rather spend time creating and selling my products than buckling down with bookkeeping. FreshBooks makes this happen. Super easy to use interface and simple accounting principles make this a win-win for me!

Easy to use

The software is very straightforward. I was able to get started very quickly, and everything is explained well, making the software very easy to use.
