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.

A Creative Solopreneur's Best Friend

What do you like best? Freshbooks makes the not-so-fun "business" part of running a solo business simple and easy. As a one-man company, I can track time, send invoices via email, and keep track of all my expenses. I really like that I can offer my clients multiple ways to pay. I prefer not to have to pay credit card fees if I don't have to, but not all my clients want to write checks either. In that case, I can offer them the option of using ACH to pay, which lowers the fees and enables ...

Seven years running strong - great foundation for my business

What do you like best? Simple, straightforward, professional. It's a firm foundation for my business. The invoices sent to clients are very professional and easy for them to login and pay. What do you dislike? The new version feels harder to navigate than the old version. I am still torn about keeping it or moving back to the basic. But I cant tell if it's just habit from using the program for so long. I also don't like that they phased out the 50 cent business payments and PayPal. ...

Made running my business a breeze.

What do you like best? It is so easy to invoice and track my billings. It use to take me hours to do invoicing and I had to track everything manually. Now invoice literally takes me 3 minutes or less. I hate bureaucracy and Freshbooks is the answer. What a pleasure. Worth every dollar I spend on it, which quite frankly, is not a lot for the value. What do you dislike? Nothing. One of my very favorite products and brands. I have recommended this to many of my consultant friends. ...

Freshbooks. Best in Class!

What do you like best? Freshbooks is simple to use, fully of useful features and reports, and perhaps best of all, they have the best customer support I have ever witnessed in my 30 years online. Bravo! What do you dislike? The only thing I've ever found to dislike is the 50 character limit when creating a title for an invoice. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I have solved a myriad of problems, which is important since I am a ...

It's great with a couple workflow issues.

What do you like best? Easy and quick to invoice and enter payments, which is all I really need. And I like reports. What do you dislike? Clients. I can only have 5. So I delete every time I get up to 5. But I have repeat clients. So I put them in again. Now I have in some cases 5 or 10 instances (and counting) of the same customers in my deleted clients list, which seems weird. If there were a one-click way to reactivate them, even as I'm typing their name into a new invoice, that ...
