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.

Great all-in-one for tracking time & invoicing clients

What do you like best? I love that you can not only track time for clients but tag them as such so they automatically create invoices that can be sent out for payment. They just revamped their mobile app which is great for tracking time on the fly and snapping pics of receipts for expenses. What do you dislike? That's tough, I haven't come across anything I don't like yet. Recommendations to others considering the product Definitely give it a try — their trial is great and give a ...

Great for service businesses

What do you like best? Time tracking directly to invoices is great. The mobile apps are great as well. Freshbooks saves us a lot of time with our technicians in the field and tons of time invoicing clients. Once it is all setup it automates invoicing in a way that almost no other system can. It also offers an excellent customer portal where they can see anything you allow them to and make payments to outstanding invoices quickly and easily. What do you dislike? So as we have grown this ...

Great for small businesses: Easy to set up and use

What do you like best? FreshBooks was easy to set up and manage to track revenue and expenses, create invoices, and prepare for taxes. I don't like accounting - FreshBooks eliminated the drudgery by offering a great solution at an affordable price that delivers a good user experience. I did not take advantage of all of the features, but I believe they offer a comprehensive solution with everything a small business needs. What do you dislike? I did try to implement the option to accept ...

The easiest billing software on the market!

What do you like best? FreshBooks fills an important gap in my business. I am NOT an accounting or bookkeeping person by any means. In fact, this is the least favorite part of running my business. So I was looking for something that would get the job done with ease, that anyone could understand. FreshBook does all of this and so much more. What do you dislike? If I had to pick something, I wish there was a browser extension for the time tracking timer. It's really not a big deal, but ...

Freshbooks for invoice and time tracking

What do you like best? I am pretty satisfied with Freshbooks because: - it allows me to see how much progress I've made on a project based on estimate hours I input - it automatically sends out invoice reminders to clients if invoices have not been paid, so it streamlines the process and saves me time - allows my team to track hours so I can see how much time they devote to different projects in a day What do you dislike? - I think the interface could look better - I wish I ...

Great product for starting accounts

What do you like best? The amazing time tracker, by far my favorite feature, no other cloud software come close on this widget. The other great feature is that you get allow other contractors to login in add hours to the timesheet, even using the widget. What do you dislike? The accounting reports are not as good as other providers and multi-currency support could be better. Recommendations to others considering the product Try it today and see if it make your invoicing and ...

Freshbooks is every businesses dream come true for estimate and invoices

What do you like best? I love how easy it is to create estimates and proposals and the fact you can tell when a client has viewed it. What do you dislike? I wish that you could create custom design templates for estimates. If I could it would be perfect. Recommendations to others considering the product Consider switching to the Freshboks Merchant/Gateway as it can save you a ton on processing. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you ...

FreshBooks is the best cloud book keeper out there

What do you like best? Freshbooks makes is super easy to manage my business' books. The interface is intuitive, the tools are useful and the reporting is robust. We've tried many different book keeping solutions, from excel to free software to paid, and FreshBooks is the best we've used. The app is also super easy to use and makes logging receipts and expenses very fast. No more shoe boxes of receipts and nonsense like that. FreshBooks lets us take a picture, log the expense, and keep ...

Good Product, Right Price.

What do you like best? We only use the invoicing portion of FreshBooks. The automation of recurring invoices (we bill monthly or annually, overdue payment notice emails, and late fees added to overdue invoices are killer! We have been able to really buckle down and manage our A/R using this program. Sadly, we were using Word based invoices prior to FreshBooks, and now save considerable time in every aspect of invoice and A/R management. What do you dislike? No integration with ...
