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.

Great product, super helpful for creatives

What do you like best? Freshbooks is wonderful in so many ways. I've used it for about two years. I love its ease for creating invoices, finding and using reports, tracking invoices and billing hourly services. My most favorite feature is billing by the minute rather than the project, and I have had a hard time finding that in other systems. What do you dislike? At times, freshbooks is hard to apply certain services and client experiences when invoices were not listed according to ...

Supreme customer service

What do you like best? Freshbooks customer service is always there for you when you need them. Over one year time I had a few questions or concerns that had happened. They walked me through it and spoke in terms for me to understand. What do you dislike? There was a time where monies was held up and I didn't know why. I couldn't get a hold of a rep at the time because of the weekend and fell into a holiday. Had to wait several days to speak to someone. What problems are you ...

Freshbooks is funky fresh

What do you like best? It's EASY. It's sooo easy to track your time and bill. Then they make it easy for the customer to pay too. Every contractor should have an account. What do you dislike? Honestly nothing. They fix what I don't like. I wanted to be able to auto bill a client and now you can even do that. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Billing is a dream now.

The perfect balance of functionality for a small shop or freelancer

What do you like best? I love that the software automatically brings in my purchase transactions What do you dislike? I've currently been waiting for a fix where purchase returns are coming in as a duplicate expense for over a year—it is getting really tiring to manually check every month if each expense truly is a debit, not a credit that is showing up as a debit. Recommendations to others considering the product: This software is fantastic for smaller businesses who don't ...

Has most of the tools you might need, but not all of them

What do you like best? FreshBooks is not only well-known in the cloud accounting space, it's well-established. It works. It's got integrations with thousands of financial institutions, which makes expense tracking surprisingly easy, once you remember to reconcile bank gibberish with your FreshBooks transactions, like invoices or expenses for cost of good sold. It also has features like a timer you can use to track chunks of time for a given client or project. If I didn't use that, ...

FreshBooks Has Everything I Need to Invoice My Customers

What do you like best? I like the ease of use, and the payment reminders that FreshBooks send out automatically. I also really like that at the end of the year I can print out expense reports, its useful when I am filing my taxes. What do you dislike? The pricing. Although its not that high, for a very small studio like mine, its too much to pay every month. They used to offer a free plan, and I wish they still did. I also wish they offered more customization to the invoice emails, ...

An Excellent Software for Agencies

Automatic invoices are one of the features that have saved us the most amount of time and money. What do you dislike? There are a few things I dislike about FreshBooks. The system to email clients when sending them proposals or invoices can sometimes be a bit flaky. In reality, it works very well and has almost ...

Freshbooks has saved me a TON of time over the past 9 years!

What do you like best? Insanely easy to add clients, invoices, collect payments and track A/P. What do you dislike? There is nothing not to like (though I wish they had an option to email a PDF invoice directly to a customer.) What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I've been using FB for nearly 10 years and have never looked back. So much easier than Quickbooks, and so much better than my old homebrew.
