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.

Unmatched Customer Support

In the last year I moved my company from quickbooks over to Freshbooks. Of the many easy to use and effective cloud-based features the thing that set Freshbooks apart from other services was their unmatched customer service. From the first email to the last phone call you will get all of your questions answered.

Why Use Quickbooks?

I'm a technology consultant and my needs are simple: I need a reliable time tracking system and billing system; a solution that can manage electronic payments; a solution that can prepare financials and share them electronically with my accountant; a solution I can run from my cell phone. I don't need an _accounting_ system; I need a good _billing_system.And that's what Freshbooks is. It's an excellent product that simply works. It integrates well with 3rd parties, is very conscious of ...

Freshbooks just works and stays out of the way.

I have a annually recurring business with ~100 customers. My previous accounting service would goof up invoices, loose information, and send e-mails to people it shouldn't. Freshbooks does none of these things, and months go by where I don't even have to log in. Everyone gets the right invoices, late fees are added automatically, and money just shows up in my business checking account. Sending one-off invoices is extremely easy, and when tax season arrives the reporting gets me the ...

Freshbooks meets most of my needs

I love a lot of things about Freshbooks. The invoices are awesome, it connects seamlessly with my bank account. I love the time tracking functions, the ability to have multiple projects per client. The estimates system is very nice, and make invoicing clients from estimates is easy. I wish that there was an easy way to input income that doesn't go through Freshbooks. I sometimes have clients who pay with checks and if I could add invoices + payments to clients behind the scenes {without ...

correct

I like freshbooks because it permits do what i want to do. I would like it to be more "modern" with a responsive design and a much better UX so I can use it faster, but the way it works fulfils my needs. PD: we have a very competitive UX team, so if you need some, we are open to help you here XD
