About FreshBooksFreshBooks

FreshBooks approaches the books from the invoice rather than the ledger, which suits freelancers and service businesses that bill time. Plans are limited by billable clients: five on Lite at US$23 a month, fifty on Plus at US$43, unlimited on Premium at US$70, with a quoted Select tier that includes two users. Extra team members are US$11 a month each, and advanced payments and payroll are separate add-ons. A 90% discount for three months was running when we read the page.
