FreshBooks alternative

A FreshBooks alternative with unlimited clients and free books.

If you're shopping for a FreshBooks alternative, most options just move you to another invoicing tool with the same per-client price creep. BuddyWorkflow does the invoicing and full bookkeeping, gives you unlimited clients, and adds a real CRM and marketing analytics — so you replace more than one subscription.

Why switch from FreshBooks

FreshBooks is great at invoicing but caps billable clients per tier and charges extra for team members, while your client relationships and marketing live in other tools. A better alternative keeps unlimited clients, the books, and the CRM together.

Free books instead of a paid tier

Your books are free forever with BuddyWorkflow — no trial wall, no paid tier just to track your money. You only pay at-cost processing fees when a client pays you.

Switching is easy

Import your existing clients and transactions from a CSV export in minutes, and start with your books free. Pro adds automation, custom branding, pipeline and marketing analytics.

Common questions

Is BuddyWorkflow a good FreshBooks alternative?
Yes — it covers invoicing and the full bookkeeping most freelancers need, adds a client CRM and marketing analytics FreshBooks doesn't include, and gives you unlimited clients with books free forever.
Can I import my FreshBooks data?
Yes. You can import clients and transactions from a CSV export in minutes using the built-in import wizard.
Is it cheaper than FreshBooks?
Your books are free forever with unlimited clients. Pro is $29/mo, and card processing is at cost with zero markup — versus FreshBooks tiers that cost more as you add clients.

Switch your books. Keep unlimited clients. One login.

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.
