FreshBooks: plans, prices and score

FreshBooks starts from the invoice, which is why its invoicing level is the highest in this group. Three priced plans run from $23 to $70 a month, with a 30-day trial. The nearest big rival is covered in the QuickBooks and FreshBooks matchup, and options if you are leaving QuickBooks ranks FreshBooks beside the others. For the whole field, accounting software worth shortlisting is the starting point.

Plans and score

Lite lists automated bank import and invoicing. Plus adds receipt capture and bank reconciliation, and Premium keeps both. It rates 4.5 from 4,529 Capterra reviews. Reports earn only basic credit, and inventory earns none.

To see the best-known rival on the same rubric, QuickBooks Online on the rubric lists every level. Owners who want to know who records and who advises can read bookkeeper and accountant roles. A busy month of invoices can also be handed off, and what a month of bookkeeping help costs gives the range.

Who should look elsewhere

QuickBooks Online earns a higher reports level, Wave earns a higher price level for one business, and Xero earns a higher bank-matching level, so each is listed under the point where it scores above FreshBooks. A business with no budget for software can look at free versions worth using.

FreshBooks earns no credit for the cost of a second business, so a second set of books is a question to ask the vendor. More answers sit in other bookkeeping answers.
