would recommend this appPros
The most helpfull thing i found in freshbooks is that it helps us managing our bills effectively and you don't require any professional to do this for you any more. It is very good for small business.
Another great feature of Freshbooks is the availability of Support Tickets. I was very pleased with the opportunity to change the standard templates for emails.
The UI is awesome ,easy to use, also that you know when a user has read the invoice is great. The app is awesome as well.
Pros
It is not a difficult system to setup and ease of use enables clients to pick up the system quickly. We love that integrates with XERO and ServiceM8 staff are supportive and always willing to help.
I like its simplicity and its ability to integrate with other important software like accounting and email marketing etc.
Ve recommended to 2 other businesses just this week. My favourite aspects are that it's visually appealing, easy to use, reliable & customer support is extremely prompt.
Cons
I emailed them about this dangerous lack of basic security features and as of December 2019 Freshbooks says there is no plan to add two factor authentication in the future.
I had a very difficult time using the bookkeeping software on the program. I couldn't customize taxes, and I found that because I have no background in accounting I was really messing up frequently.
The features and functionalities are limited. It takes little bit more time set up and charges on each transaction and need to pay an account after second client.
Cons
Also difficult to work out how to update out job card for other 3rd party contacts. Converting an email to a job seems to have changed for the worse and is much more difficult now.
Not been able to talk to tech support everything is done via chat which can be a pain, the suggestion needs to be where you can more than 3 suggestions.
We refuse to outfit everyone with iPhones at an average cost of $700+ per new phone when we can get similar phone and app functions for a fraction of the cost ($100).
