“Terrible interface bad data security practices and dishonest customer support”

Pros

The previous interface and management under the previous CEO were highly valued. However as a customer for 10 years I'm disappointed with the current state of the software broken customer service and data security issues.

Cons

Their previous software version was commendable but the transition to a less-featured new version with a significant price hike was disheartening. Despite their claims of valuing customer feedback I observed no tangible actions taken based on such suggestions. The new version lacks essential features and feels cumbersome compared to its predecessor. After grappling with issues for a year I made the decision not to renew my subscription. When I contacted them to cancel and requested the deletion of my credit card data they callously refused hinting at potential future charges. In 3011 their policy guaranteed access to data through the website even without a paid account. However they have since altered their policy and deceitfully misrepresented their past practices. They used to offer free accounts with perpetual data access but now they abruptly terminate access as soon as the subscription ends. Their insatiable thirst for money drives away customers. Superior accounting software options with more attentive customer service are readily available.

“Clean reports”

“organized my work”

Pros

FreshBooks really cuts down the hassle of invoicing by simplifying the whole process. It's laid out in a way that even a more "creative" person can jump in, enter details and feel good about the final results.

Cons

One thing that's slightly annoying is that I only discovered it in May, could've been using it for years. The free trial convinced me quickly though and I ended up becoming a paying customer.

“excellent invoicing and support”

Pros

Running a small business, I've found this app handles the accounting work really well. It's simple, genuinely user friendly and the customer support has been excellent whenever I've needed help. Also, the invoicing features are solid and there's a tracking element included across all the plans which makes it easier to stay organized.

Cons

As a small business owner, I'm already pretty satisfied with it overall though I'd love to see more automation during the setup of sales tax jurisdictions.

“feature packed”

Pros

The platform feels really adaptable and it works well no matter what kind of setup we need. Our team has been using it for a couple of years now and since I already knew it from my freelance work, it was easy to pick up. Overall, it comes across as solid, simple and reliable. Right now we're on the Plus subscription and it seems pretty complete while still being affordable.

Cons

I'd like the app to go a step further in terms of usefulness... especially so I can get a complete view of my invoices even when I'm away from my desk.

“helps me daily”

Pros

Its so user friendly, with some dynamic features that make daily company tasks easier to manage. The invoicing workflow is well organized and the customer service has been responsive and helpful whenever I needed it. Overall, it fits nicely for keeping day-to-day operations in order.

Cons

Pricing could be more affordable for small organizations. I also run into limitations when I try to get a quarterly report, it doesn't seem to support that reliably. Also, the bank reconciliation statement feature feels a bit off when it comes to value especially considering the cost.
