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.

Adds professional edge for small businesses

What do you like best? Makes my little business appear very professional and gives me an edge up on the competition. I use the estimates feature the most and it usually provides the edge I want to provide a polished, reputable representation of my services and quality. What do you dislike? Some of the web form pop ups get in the way when editing. I have submitted support tix but still not resolved. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? ...

Excellent Invoicing and Accounting System

What do you like best? Freshbooks is super easy to use, very user friendly and budget friendly especially for new businesses. I love that I can input recurring expenses so that I don't have to input them each month. Also, running reports is an absolute breeze. Also, expenses that are recurring but not necessarily the same amount each time can be duplicated for ease of entry each time I need to input them. I can also duplicate an entry when I know that it is the same type of expense ...

Good platform for keeping track of income, etc

What do you like best? Being able to send good looking professional invoices to my clients What do you dislike?

What problems ...

Started great, then they took advantage just like Quickbooks

PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? The only great aspect is when you call they actually pick up the phones. What aspects are problematic or could work better? Every three months I get a call from my 'new account manager' telling me about all the great upgrades and solutions for my company. Right after they are done pretending to know anything about my services, they hit you with a, 'charges are changing on your account' speech. As they double, not go up, DOUBLE ...

Love freshbooks, but wish it were a little less per month.

What do you like best? Great user platform for me and my clients. Very professional and easy to use. What do you dislike? Wish there was an option for less $/month. I have my own methods for tracking time, etc., so I would be interested in a streamlined option that just allows me to send clients proposals and invoices, as well as track my expenses. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Helps keep my expenses organized and tracks my ...

Great Product for a Small Business

What do you like best? As a small business owner with no accounting or business background, fresh books has been a blessing. It is easy to use, easy to understand, and their customer support is phenomenal! What do you dislike? Though my accountant had not used FreshBooks before, he was able to easily access it through the accountant link and also found intuitive and easy to use. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? It is so easy ...

Fresh Books has made my live so much easier.

What do you like best? I love the auto expense feature and phone support. What do you dislike? The new fresh box is missing some features that the older one had. One being searched in the deleted clients. Cannot add attachments to an invoice. Recommendations to others considering the product: Great software for a new or even old business. Easy to use and great support. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I'm solving end ...

Freshbooks Helps my Business in Almost Every Way!

What do you like best? Freshbooks is constantly adding new features and their team is extremely responsive if I have any questions or if any of my freelancers need anything. What do you dislike? There's very little I don't like about Freshbooks! One feature that makes sense but that can be annoying is that only my freelancers can close out their invoices with me but often times after I pay, they forget to do. Because of that, it will continue to show up as unpaid. What problems ...
