Riskified, headquartered in Tel Aviv, helps businesses to realize the potential of eCommerce by making it safe, accessible, and frictionless. Their eponymous platform allows online merchants to create trusted relationships with their consumers. Leveraging machine learning that benefits from a global merchant network, the platform identifies the individual behind each online interaction, helping merchants eliminate risk and uncertainty.
I recommend FreshBooks to anyone running a service-based business that needs invoicing, time reporting, and accounting tools. FB is adept in all three of these scenarios and isn't overly complicated like similar accounting packages I have used. I love how I can write estimates and proposals, manage the business development process from the software, and quickly convert prospects to invoiced clients.

Riskified is the perfect tool if your current set up is based in lots of manual review and high chargebacks rate. Once implemented it will inmediately increase the authorization rate as well as decrease the chargeback rate significantly. For a company that needs automated decision on blocking abusers it also makes sense, specially using the Policy protect returns and item limit modules.

Invoicing - FreshBooks basically ensures our accountants spend less time on invoices via its automated invoicing system, which sends invoices to our customers and clients alike and also send them regular reminders for them to pay up their bills.
Collecting business insights - FreshBooks enable our company analysts measure our business performances via data reports provided by FreshBooks' intuitive dashboard. Allowing us do a comparative analysis of key business metrics of a current month against past months and determine if the business is growing.
Expense tracker - We have recently embraced FreshBooks as an expense tracker for teams at our company branch. Thusfar, FreshBooks has performed very well, making our expense management a perfect operation; ensuring teams do not exceed their planned budget and also eliminating the need for tracking expenses on excel spreadsheets.

I can brand invoices with my business logo, but I might like to change colours of the invoices themselves to match the rest of my business documents. That isn't a major point at all, but it's something that I'd like to see.
Freshbooks doesn't remember the categories that similar expenses were previously assigned to. It would be nice if Freshbooks would suggest a category for an already saved vendor, to ensure the consistency of expense reporting.
The home page of a Freshbooks account has a great graph display of expenses and income, but it only shows the last 6 months. This is still very useful, but I'd like to be able to see this kind of graph for different periods of time.
Missing functionality/ explanation: not having full understanding why some orders with multiple "red flags" are accepted/approved by Riskified
Missing functionality: It would be great if there was an option to resubmit an order after approving a second look (so that the customer doesn't have to place a second order)
The support I've received isn't always uniform (sometimes the agent will ask me to provide additional information about an order, sometimes they won't. It seems to be random?)

At the current needs of our business, FreshBooks suits us perfectly - it allows online access by our accountant to the system for GST purposes, easy input of expenses and tracking of Profit and Loss statements. FreshBooks customer service is great as well - very understanding and accommodating.
We are likely to renew our use of Riskified. Their solution has become a critical component of our fraud prevention strategy and day-to-day operations. The combination of increased approval rates, reduced chargeback risk, and operational efficiency has delivered consistent value. Additionally, their collaborative approach and alignment with our customer experience goals reinforce our confidence in continuing the partnership long term.

FreshBooks is very easy to use even for novices. If you're looking for an online accounting software that is full of features, has great aesthetics and is user-friendly, then this is definitely the software for you. I've been using it for several years now and despite being tempted to switch by other vendors, I like the feel of FreshBooks and it's mobile features.

It's very easy to use. When an interaction is declined, there's reasoning located on the right side of the screen. It's incredibly easy to use Single-Sign-On to log into the account, and explaining that to new team members is very easy. The process for adding new team members is easy and the FAQ's are very helpful.

I think the support level for FreshBooks is on par with a 6 because the folks behind this application do a fairly good job at providing support for their customer base. I still don't think they are at an elite level when it comes to supporting but are getting there although too slow in my opinion.

The account management is great and very responsive, but as previously mentioned, the company does not seem to be very proactive with spotting exiting integration issues or things that could be wrong from technical point of view. I would like to see Riskified doing more proactive integration monitoring and more regular technical reviews.

FreshBooks does very well in comparison, especially since it is free software for Barclays bank users. Sage software is much worse than FreshBooks. However, Xero and QuickBooks, the market leaders, are still ahead with usability, additional features, reporting, and connection with third-party software providers. We chose FreshBooks as it does everything we require from this type of software.

I would say that the main difference between Riskified and Signifyd is the level of client service, which drives success in other aspects. We did not have a dedicated account manager with Signifyd, so there was no one to deal with issues. Signifyd's billing is also very messy, and we found that they did not reimburse us for a significant amount of chargebacks. Riskified's billing is easy to reconcile, and we've never had that issue.

In reality, we do not implement all of its use at the moment in order to determine an adequate ROI.
In our approach to the use of the system, it seems to us a considerable time saving by achieving the integration of the Mexican subsidiary with its parent located in the US.
Financial reports meet the necessary USGAAP requirements.

Since implementing and working with Riskified we have seen a steady decrease in our fraud losses on our e-commerce orders. Riskified is able to quickly adjust its models to mitigate new trends
By eliminating the need to "challenge" orders we have been able to save on staffing needed for manual review and we have seen a decrease in callback rates for our fraud reviewed orders.
