Additionally it  integrates with payment gateways such as PayPal which allow us to accept credit card payments directly within the FreshBooks. The time-tracking feature enables our employees to log hours worked, making it easy to calculate payroll expenses and generate accurate invoices for billable time.FreshBooks enable us to  track key metrics and indicators of financial health and accurately report on our financial status of our company.

### "FreshBook Review." — 5.0/5

> **Erik** | *9 January 2025* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The platform is super user friendly, easy to teach and the reports are amazing.
> 
> **Cons**: Pricing is the only thing but I feel that it is worth it compared to a lot of other platforms.
> 
> FreshBooks is the best accounting software hands down. QuickBooks and any other platforms can not compare. There platform keeps your accounts connected not like QuickBooks.

### "FreshBooks is the realest of them all." — 4.0/5

> **Bahaa** | *3 April 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I absolutely love the mobile app, we found it flexible and convenient to us. Invoicing is now better than ever. For online payments, Freshbooks is our number one solution, with it's excellent features it does exactly what it's supposed to do. Very demure, I highly recommend.
> 
> **Cons**: I never experienced a major problem am glad it was of great help to me.
> 
> It's awesome and it's pricing plans favors even small businesses. The experience was good and worth all the efforts.

### "Basic ease of use but with a high price" — 3.0/5

> **Hilary** | *16 May 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: To accomplish the normal everyday estimates and invoicing it is fairly simple to use. It offered me the mileage tracking without paying additional for it, but it does have some inaccuracies
> 
> **Cons**: For the price it doesn't have the add-ons and lots of missing features that I could get from another program, but it's a lot to transfer to another one so I have tolerated it. The tracking mode isn't 100% accurate and it does not send you automatically a copy of your invoice or estimate to your email and can be tricky to go back and find it and they only save it for a certain period of time
> 
> When I first got the program it was very inexpensive and the main thing I liked was my accountant could access all of my stuff. It has since doubled in price and a lot of the features that they add do not benefit me like the payroll section. You can only have one person as such myself without paying extra on top of the $60 a month

>

> 
> Overall, our experience in managing our operational financial resources has been the most exceptional and successful one since the moment we introduced FreshBooks.
