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).

Great for small businesses

I was hesitant to use Freshbooks at first (at least the paid version because I wasn't sure my business was big enough. But I used the free version (just a couple of clients for a while and loved it, so I eventually upgraded and haven't regretted it since! It's definitely nice to have a system that keeps track of my time and projects so I don't have to deal with the headache of keeping my own system straight, and it certainly makes invoicing a breeze (they even make sure to track reminders ...

Simply the easiest invoicing solution for small businesses

I first started using Freshbooks in 2014 after first sending manual invoices via Word/PDF and then a couple of other invoicing solutions before finally deciding on Freshbooks. Best decision ever. These guys get small business - they are constantly adding new features and are very open to new ideas from the community. Simply the best solution for me.

Accounting from the comforts of bed

I love the simplicity of Freshbooks. One of my favourite components of the web app and the phone app is the invoicing tool. It's simple to use, helps me keep all my clients organized, and I have at least once sent an invoice on my phone from my bed. Breakfast in bed is great but invoicing in bed is better. The reports Freshbooks produces are awesome making year-end taxes a breeze. And most importantly, the people behind Freshbooks are awesome. I love that you can speak to a human when you ...

My Favorite things...

We love using Freshbooks for invoicing our clients, and my favorite feature is the ability to see when a client views and prints their invoice...I cannot tell you the number of times a client tells me that have not received their invoice and I look to see that they have and have printed it! Love the ease of use of the tool.
