Overall Satisfaction with FreshBooks
FreshBooks is how I invoice all of my clients for DemandMaven. DemandMaven is a small consulting firm that caters to early-stage startups and SaaS companies. The main business problem it addresses is very simple: provide beautiful, user-friendly invoices to my clients and allow them to easily pay for the services I provide them! Typical invoicing software can be extremely clunky and archaic-looking. I wanted something beautiful that would represent my brand in a way I could be proud of.
Pros
- Provides user-friendly, beautiful invoices
- Built-in features like invoice reminders, recurring invoices, deposits, and automatic late fees applied
- Multiple payment options — including Stripe (which is a must-have for my industry)
Cons
- You can't schedule invoices to be sent out at specific times which is something I really wish it did. Not quite the same as a recurring invoice.
- I wish I could attach the agreement that dictates the payment terms. An integration with DocuSign, for example, would be awesome.
- The amount of time I save billing clients is substantial. It takes minutes to create an invoice — something I can't say for other platforms.
- I also always know which accounts are pending payment and can see the total amount that is due and when. Makes it very easy for automated follow-up and reminders.
Don't get me wrong — I like Xero for accounting purposes. But Xero's invoicing isn't great. There's too many features I depend on that FreshBooks has that Xero just does not. I need to be able to take deposits, send automatic reminders, and create an extremely user-friendly experience. Xero is great for accounting, but doesn't provide that experience. That's why FreshBooks was a no-brainer for me. I technically use both, but FreshBooks specifically for invoicing.
