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 Service But Several Flaws

What do you like best? Easy to use for invoicing and relatively inexpensive. What do you dislike? 1. They redesigned the site, made it look "nicer" and added a bunch of features. This made it more confusing to use and find info. The site's indexing engine often is out of sync so when you search for say an invoice that has been paid it might appear as "overdue". I often find that I want to see a certain report and there is no easy way to find it or render it. I don't blame them for ...

FreshBooks Review

What do you like best? Very user friendly for tracking time and employees find it simple to navigate. The system has been easy to learn and we love we can track time by 15 min increments and then pull straight into an invoice. It has been so great for creating invoices directly from the system by pulling in the time and the expenses. We like how we can pull data in a PDF and Excel format straight from the system. I like that they just recently made it to where you can edit others time ...

Freshbooks for catering company

What do you like best? Like most accounting software, Freshbooks can cover the basics of tracking expenses, invoicing, and reporting/analytics. The template for the invoices is good, and it's fairly easy to use on both desktop and phone app, although the phone app is pretty limited. What do you dislike? I wish the phone app were more robust--you can't view any reports, for instance. It also has some quirks, like displaying the wrong date for expenses (drop-down will display Jan 3, ...

FreshBooks is a Lifesaver and Saves Me Time!

What do you like best? All of it! User friendly, dependable, the project timer. What do you dislike? My only complaint is not being able to associate an expense with a project. Right now, you can only associate it with a client. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Mostly just saves me a ton of time and keeps up with time, expenses, and overdue invoices so I don't have to. Makes tax time at least 10% less nightmarish.

Used to be perfect, now it's just brokem.

What do you like best? I used to love everything about Freshbooks. Now, there's not much I really like about it. Customer service when I call in though is still #1. What do you dislike? There's so many bugs. My rate increased and with that cam problems. Clients names get stripped out once they're entered into the system. Which makes it difficult to search for clients if I don't remember their company nameWith proposals I cannot "Create from Last" without first opening up a recent ...

Freshbooks is the way to go!

What do you like best? Freshbooks came highly recommended to me by my accountant. There is hardly a learning curve and pretty easy to link accounts and create categories for expenses. The BEST feature for me is the ability to time track my client visits for billing. What do you dislike? Nothing to dislike but I have had a few issues with Freshbooks mobile. Their customer service team resolved my issues quickly. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have ...

Freshbooks Review

What do you like best? I love the simplicity and user-friendliness that Freshbooks gives me. As a small business owner, I need to be able to wear many hats - including organizing and tracking my time, expenses, invoices and payments. Freshbooks helps me to do it all with relative simplicity and ease! Even, dare I say, joy? Also their customer service team really is fantastic - sometimes I just want to pick up the phone to talk through an issue. A real, nice person answers the phone and ...

Always striving for better + GREAT customer service.

What do you like best? How easy it is to get the answers I need. It's easy to reach a real human on the phone when I can't find the answer in the FAQ database. Any anytime I simply call, no matter how simple my question I'm never harassed by support that I should have looked more before calling. They also reach out to me with new solutions that may help save me money or time. Self Populating Line items. THEY SAVE ME SO MUCH TIME! What do you dislike? Needing to delete ...
