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. \[sensitive content hidden\] ----- ### "10/10 Accounting and Invoicing software" — 5.0/5 > **Oliver** | *29 April 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to easily send invoices, manage overdue invoices plus have payment reminders for clients to pay on time. > > **Cons**: The ability to only have 5 clients for the price we're paying. I hope we can add more client accounts with the current plan we pay for. > > Overall the experience is great, we can manage our cashflow and send invoices to our clients with ease. I'd highly recommend Freshbooks for any business dealing with clients. ----- ### "They will block your account with no explanation." — 1.0/5 > **Sean** | *10 September 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. ----- ### "The assistance in keeping track of the case expenses." — 5.0/5 > **Hikmet** | *29 January 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The interface is unbelievably clean, and with little training, we are able to track expenses associated with case such as flight tickets and medical equipment. > > **Cons**: Occasionally the version has been changed to add or remove some important features without notice, and occasionally the mobile app fails to upload receipts when out of the office. > > The process of handling complicated medical records needs accurate accounting. I use this to track case costs. It is easy to use yet the updates may be disruptive. ----- ### "Using FreshBooks for construction" — 4.0/5 > **Bernadine** | *18 April 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Was great and simple to use. Was able to create invoices directly from the app. > > **Cons**: Lack of ability to generate purchaee orders > > Awesome. Great software for small businesses ----- Page: 1 / 182\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/8290/freshbooks?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.nz/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
