FreshBooks is a solid invoicing and light-bookkeeping tool, but it charges more as you add clients and team members, and your client relationships and marketing live elsewhere. BuddyWorkflow keeps your books, your clients and your marketing in one login — with books free forever.
FreshBooks tiers cap how many billable clients you can have and charge extra for team members. BuddyWorkflow gives you unlimited clients and a real CRM — every client shows their invoices, payment history and notes, with a full pipeline on Pro — without a per-client price.
FreshBooks is strongest at sending invoices. BuddyWorkflow does the invoicing and the full bookkeeping — income, expenses, cash position, taxes and reports — so you don't outgrow it and move to a separate accounting tool later.
Your books are free forever with no trial wall. When clients pay you, bank transfers are free and cards are passed through at Stripe's exact cost with zero markup — instead of a percentage FreshBooks marks up on every payment.
Free forever for your books. We pass Stripe's real processing cost straight through — never marking up the rate the way others keep the spread — and Pro removes our fee entirely.
