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.

Easy to use!!

What do you like best? I like how Freshbooks is very easy to use and it is very affordable! What do you dislike? I dislike how you have to upgrade depending on how many clients you have. I wish there was a fixed cost no matter how many clients you are invoicing. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Getting paid faster when I invoice my clients.

Accounting for creatives

What do you like best? Freshbooks is easy to use, even for me and I'm your stereotypical creative type that has difficulty with numbers. I love that I can track my time easily from my computer or my phone with an app. I love that putting together an invoice is as easy as a few clicks. Estimates are a breeze too. Plus freshbooks looks nice! What do you dislike? There really aren't any downsides. For a while the app was glitchy but that seems to have been solved. I wish I could keep ...

Really enjoy the entire process!

What do you like best? Simplicity and ease of use make it a great entry point for a business owner who’s never managed their finances before. It makes organizing and coordinating expenses so easy. What do you dislike? I feel like there could be more built in automation or easier ways to generate your own custom profiles for managing expenses and things. I also wish the expense matching was easier. It’s really hard to match things especially the stripe payments. Recommendations ...

FreshBooks was a breakthrough for my company

What do you like best? I love the ease of the platform and the ability to access it from anywhere. What do you dislike? I wish there was an ability to search by words within the notes section and to also add a field within fields, opposed to having to add at the bottom and then manually move up (those who use it will understand what I mean). Recommendations to others considering the product: Great option for those who wants something user friendly and easily accessible! ...

Excellent Service simplifies the process of managing your business

What do you like best? The desktop site is very easy to understand and work with, it's setup in such a way that it's very user-friendly. Generating estimates and converting them to invoices has been an invaluable tool for us. Adding clients is very simple. Changing one invoice from another and the payment terms/options, late fees are all very easy to use. It would be great if Freshbooks would add the ability for the discount attributed to an invoice only apply to the original invoice ...
