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.

Excellent tool for Keeping Books

What do you like best? Invoicing, online payments, ability to customize the look of invoices. I also use the time tracking feature quite a bit. What do you dislike? I'd love it if there were a built-in estimate function. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Solved the problem of my poor bookkeeping skills. It's much easier to track my hourly time and project fees, then generate invoices so I actually get paid for my work.

Excellent solution that's easy to use

What do you like best? I like how easy it is to search for customers and their invoices, estimates, etc. I also like the ease of copying invoices and estimates to create new ones. What do you dislike? With the updated version it's no longer possible to copy rows of invoices/their info to copy into a spreadsheet. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We've been a Freshbooks customer for about 7 years and would not be interested in ...

Effective, simple to use, great customer service

What do you like best? The responsiveness of their customer service and the fact that they are open and willing to add suggested features. What do you dislike? Features of the old version are still being rolled out into the new one, but they've almost got all of them back now. Recommendations to others considering the product: One stop shop for client management, estimates and invoices, time tracking, expense tracking and accounting reports. What problems are you ...

Great Product!

What do you like best? It's easy to use and understand. And the customer service is great and responds quickly. It makes bookkeeping for my small business easy and simple. Even if you are not a CPA or bookkeeper you can still understand and navigate your way around the Freshbooks site/app in order to create reports that are easy to understand, sign up team members to log and keep track of time, create estimates, create & find invoices, and much more. I would easily recommend this ...

Easy to use for billing and expense tracking

What do you like best? I love how Freshbooks makes invoicing so easy. From recurring invoices that can be automatically generated and sent to the tracking of expenses via connections to banks and credit cards, it doesn't get much easier than this. I also like how the variety of reports that I have at my disposal through the system. What do you dislike? The only downside to Freshbooks is that is not a full-service accounting software package. There are some aspects of accounting ...

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 ...
