What differentiates FreshBooks from other similar products?
FreshBooks keeps track of daily accounting activities, namely a cosmos of invoices, payment consent, expense tracking, billable time tracking and financial history. It has free trial for 30 days, no credit card required. FreshBooks aims to create a cloud accounting application to help small businesses better manage their finances. The company says it is known for its outstanding customer service.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Easy to get right and how modest the functions were; lots of beneficial tools and features that make to amend the final work. Easy enough for anyone who doesn't know tech skills. It is an amazing app because it is a payment chip compatible with any card and additionally it helps you to do your business accounting so it has a dual purpose. There is one feature I like the most about the tax algorithm and yes, the invoicing part is amazing.
What do you dislike most about this product?
They recently forced a new format on all clients on the platform. The new format is far inferior to the classic FreshBooks that existed before. The worst part of the software is the electronic payment option. It only works with some banks, while other banks block it. You will need a register to benefit and reset the system because you don't believe in a cash-based accounting system.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Endless reasons to switch to FreshBooks, such as pricing, features: recurring billing, time tracking that were removed from the core product and were now additional costs; it had all the features I was looking for, and they are working hard and intentionally to share new relevant features as they move forward.
Pros
- Reliable
- Caring
- Respectful
- Client Friendly Policies

We love freshbooks because it is so easy to use

What differentiates FreshBooks from other similar products?
We have used many accounting and finance softwares, but this is the best, as we find it very easy to use and with tools that are useful for our company. It is also cloud-based, so our computers are not overloaded with information and become cluttered. It calculates taxes quickly and automatically, just by filling in a few data, the system takes care of the rest, including making the payment.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Making budgets is very easy, plus you can automate the development, just by changing a few data of our customers. It has a mobile application that allows us to enter the system from anywhere with internet connection, which facilitates our work, especially extra payments. We can process all the invoices issued and have them in order, which helps us to be more organized.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Some integrations with banks could not be done, so the pending payments to customers with those banks, I have to do them manually, which delays my work. Although your application helps us to make payments, the truth is that some functions and tools are not within it, which limits its use, so it would be great if all those functions that are in the web version could be within your application.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
This app is very useful and has helped me a lot with my part time business as a book publisher. I hope they improve the invoicing as they have gotten away from this part but they can improve. I also wish the app was more user friendly.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Unique Features
