The payment tiers are very fair. Sending out professional invoices and statements instead of Excel sheets or Google Docs sends the right message to your clients. It also allows you to send professional quotes. > > **Cons**: I didn't like that the GL categories didn't have numbers. I'm used to traditional GL codes. They may have changed it since I last used it (2021). I find that GL codes > > Accounting systems like FreshBooks allow you to be paid online, faster, and it helps your business look professional -- from branded proposals (estimates) to invoicing. Every touchpoint with client, matters. FreshBooks has a couple of plans that are completely affordable. $15/mo for 5 clients. $25 for 50 clients. I was on the $25/mo plan (actually billed monthly) for 4 years. It's seriously a great product. Are you worried about credit card fees? No problem. Add 3% more to your pricing to account for the payment gateway fees (PayPal, Stripe, WePay, etc). You can even connect FreshBooks to your bank for ease of expenses and export profit and loss (P\&L) statements. There's really no reason why you should still be doing your accounting on Google Sheets. I have a tutorial on how to set up FreshBooks. \[sensitive content hidden\] ----- ### "Sales reports." — 4.0/5 > **Sotis** | *January 13, 2025* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Adding Company/ business details is done once you open the account and fields are fully customizable > > **Cons**: I liked It because it was better but because the company changed. > > FreshBook helps manage daily sales,get monthly sales reports and create invoices for customers is digitalized. ----- ### "They will block your account with no explanation." — 1.0/5 > **Sean** | *September 10, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It worked well until they shut my account down with no explanation. I highly recommend keeping your data elsewhere. They won't give access to it. > > **Cons**: They shut my account down and didn't explain why and started ignoring my emails. I am in waterproofing and I've been creating quotes just fine during the free trial and a few days after I paid they shut my account down and wouldn't tell me why or give a refund. I put lots of time into getting all those quotes migrated onto the system and now I have to start again on a different app. I wouldn't recommend for small businesses that don't have their data in multiple places coz finding all the quotes I've sent is gonna take a while. I had used them for another business that had 2-3 transactions a month for over 2 years so I felt comfortable using them for this new business that had more transactions. I was wrong to have done so. > > Customer support is horrible. They won't answer you, just give you pre written responses. Not sure why. ----- ### "FreshBooks Fresh Everyday" — 5.0/5 > **Meghan** | *January 15, 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like about FreshBooks is it helps keep receipts and payments in one easy spot to access them anytime. > > **Cons**: The thing I liked the least was the app would lag a few times but other than that it was great day to day app to use. > > My overall experience with FreshBooks was a pleasant one. I use this daily and it has made my job easier by using it. ----- ### "Great Product but needs more key Accouting Features" — 4.0/5 > **Bill** | *November 21, 2024* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I was using Freshbooks to maintain my accounting, invoices and also do estimates with client work. > > **Cons**: The product was very focus on invoicing, tracking estimates not so much as a full stack accounting software > > I had it for a few months to test it against other software that I was using but found it useful and friendly with the UI but it wasn't very convincing to be used as a accounting software compare to a quickbook ----- Page: 1 / 182\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/8290/freshbooks?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/8290/freshbooks) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
