It is wrapped around a user-friendly and sleek user interface that enable us to quickly and efficiently prepare  invoices with customizable templates, recurring invoices, and automated reminders, making it simple to track and collect payments from clients. 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.

> **Ashley** | *14 January 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that Freshbooks is user friendly. It's simple to create invoices  which I do all the time. It saves so much time
> 
> **Cons**: There's nothing I don't like about Freshbooks. It's definitely more for small businesses though. If you are a larger business, I'd look elsewhere.
> 
> I've been using Freshbooks for about 3 years and have had a great experience. It's perfect for my cleaning business and has all the tools I need.

### "FreshBooks Fan" — 4.0/5

> **Mary** | *30 April 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: As a management tool, Freshboks was helpful and easy to use. User interface was easy to pick up and I experienced no bugs or issues.
> 
> **Cons**: Customer service was difficult to connect with. Questions went unanswered, but this ultimately didn't affect usability.

### "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
