Overall Satisfaction with FreshBooks
Freshbooks has been our main invoicing software for the past 6 years. We use it for invoicing one-time projects as well as monthly recurring clients. We chose Freshbooks because it was offered an easy way to invoice clients and was one of the few invoicing platforms that offered recurring payments. The user interface is fantastic and makes it easy to use by multiple people on our team.
- The user interface is beautiful and very easy to navigate and use.
- Super reliable. Have sent out thousands of invoices and have never had an issue or misplaced email.
- The accounts aging feature is great, gives you a quick snapshot of what invoices are getting old and allows you to manually or automatically send followup notices.
- The accounting side of the software is not as developed as the invoicing and time tracking side.
- If you have a lot of clients or want some of their add-on options, it gets expensive fast.
- The mobile app is good but does not work well for some features
- With FreshBooks we get paid faster so great for ROI and cash flow
- FreshBooks makes it easy and fast to create invoices, using it allows us to get invoices out the door faster
- The time and expense tracking allows us to keep and eye on expenses
We considered using Xero for our invoicing due to the more advanced accounting features but chose FreshBooks because it offered recurring payments. Xero did not offer this critical feature at the time of purchase. And since invoicing was our main priority, FreshBooks did a much better and easier job when it came to creating and sending invoices.
