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 for small business owners / soloprenuers

What do you like best? The best is setting up the account and being able to link invoices to accounting. It makes accounting and bookkeeping easy even if that(accounting is not your specialty. The system allows for multiple functions of accounting and I really like that multiple users can use the system to keep bookkeeping straight. What do you dislike? Dislike that there is no offline version that can will sync up when you're back online - in app not web version. What business ...

Easy to use and to navigate

What do you like best? I like the user friendliness. It’s easy to navigate and to learn to use. What do you dislike? I dislike some of the glitches with the software.

Recommendations to others considering the product It’s a pretty simple system for a cash based business. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you ...

FreshBooks- Simplified Accounting

What do you like best? FreshBooks is extremely user friendly. As someone who was fairly new to freelancing, this was a great solution for billing clients and staying organized...to think I almost did everything manually makes me shudder in retrospect. Clean, simple. Very nice. What do you dislike? I had wished that FreshBooks offered different payment plans. It is quite a steep monthly fee if you are only using it for a small handful of clients. I wished there was another, lower tier ...

Great way to invoice clients, etc.

What do you like best? Ease of use. The ability to send invoices with the click of a button. Keeping track of unpaid invoices. Customizing templates. What do you dislike?

What benefits have you realized? Invoicing clients, keeping track of accounts receivable.

Simple, Effective, and gets me paid

What do you like best? This software focuses on one thing and gets it done perfectly: Making invoices. No crazy features that a small business owner would never use. Just a simple UI that produces a professional invoice. It is also nice to be able to email the client right out of the software. No saving PDFs and writing up emails to send invoices. What do you dislike? I find the UX to be a bit clunky with adding payments manually. Clients send me checks so I have to go login, find ...

With them from the beginning, and likely to stay!

What do you like best? Freshbooks is absurdly easy to use, and for the most part, does everything I need it to. I make heavy use of invoicing and expenses, and both have performed perfectly well for me. I also appreciate that they automatically calculate Stripe fees and other payment platform fees as expenses. Their team really cares about their users, and they listen when I offer feedback. What do you dislike? I wish multi-currency support was stronger; not being able to enter ...

Good app for startups, but they don't make any improvements

PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? For me, the plus points are the system is easy to use on desktop and mobile. But the app is below par. It is easy to use the desktop on the phone. You can improve your business by linking payment options as this automatically records payments from your clients and saves you a great deal of time. What aspects are problematic or could work better? I have a major grouse with FreshBooks. You cannot snail mail an estimate with the ...
