“UI is great”

Pros

Classic was absolutely spot-on and I used it for nearly eight years straight.

Cons

They pushed everyone off the "classic" version onto their new UI which felt genuinely awful. They also rolled out the change at a really bad time of year, right in the middle of business and it kept interrupting work.

“mileage tracker does the job”

Pros

Mileage tracker is exactly why I chose this software. It matches what I need for recording business mileage. I'm also switching from another tool so I can use this as my main invoicing system and for banking reconciliation, all in one place.

Cons

I haven't spotted an import feature that would let me move my data over from another product. That kind of import would be ideal and would save a ton of time during the switch.

“Organizes billing and bookkeeping”

Pros

It was simple to pick up and roll out in our office for day-to-day bookkeeping. As a designer, I usually dread the business side of things but this tool made it far more manageable so it doesn't feel like a chore anymore. We're able to send invoices to clients, pay vendors, monitor project profitability and handle other key tasks all from a single platform.

Cons

Getting comfortable with the software as someone outside of accounting takes a bit of effort at first. That said, once we figured out the workflow, everything got a lot smoother. One thing I'd change, it would be nice if multiple users could work in the middle tier without paying additional fees.

“Can only have 5 clients in lite package”

Pros

While I appreciate the features the pricing doesnt align with my needs as a small web developer.

Cons

The pricing structure especially limiting to five clients for $10 seems off. Unlimited clients for $40month is a significant jump.

“Freshbooks: Accounting software for creatives”

Pros

FreshBooks simplified bookkeeping in our office making tasks like billing clients and tracking project profits much easier. It streamlined the business side of things for us.

Cons

Learning to use it without an accounting background was challenging but once learned it streamlined processes. I wish the mid-tier allowed multiple users without extra cost.

“I like the interface”

Pros

The standout part is the visualization and overall look and feel. The interface is really simple to use and I didn't need much (if any) training because every button and feature is pretty well designed and adaptive.

Cons

To get paid via credit cards, along with bank transfers, seems to depend on the country. I should roll out those payment options to more countries worldwide so more customers can use them.
