FreshBooks, the best and fresh accounting application for freelancers
Overall Satisfaction with FreshBooks
I am a freelancer and I have used FreshBooks for more than 4 years. Before that I was creating invoices manually and sending them to clients through my personal email. Well... I really got the burden off my head when I started using FreshBooks. I can create invoices, maintain clients' profile, perform billing easily on it and send them to the client I want. Moreover it keeps all history and reports at one place which is very useful for me.
Pros
- Very good looking user interface. Clean and clear. It really looks like a fresh accounting book in the real world.
- Easy to use interface, easy to find all features at a same place. I can create invoices in seconds and send to the clients.
- It is really a great application for small business owners or freelancers like me. I can concentrate on other things while FreshBooks do all accounting for me, easing that burden off my shoulders.
Cons
- It should have a free version which can be used for unlimited time not just 30 days. Although the company can limit the number of clients in them but the free version should always be free.
- Need more integration features and should be able to integrate with other third party apps and payroll tools for enhancing the functionality. But I look forward to the next updates in FreshBooks.
- Need an essential feature which is Time Tracking. Hope to get it soon!
- Awesome! I am able to concentrate on my core job and FreshBooks do all the accounting work for me!
- Very fast and intuitive. All accounting features at a single place. I can create invoices, send them fast and track everything.
- Need a better pricing structure than what we have currently.
I liked the user interface of FreshBooks better than QuickBooks. It is built in a way that as soon as the user gets used to the various accounting features, invoicing and billing becomes so fast in FreshBooks. It is created with user friendliness in mind along with good accounting features. Also, the 30 day free trial is another attractive feature for small business owners or freelancers.
