Caveats
There's no free tier, and the entry Lite plan caps you at 5 billable clients, so growing freelancers can hit limits fast. Adding team members costs extra per person.
Bottom line
Pick FreshBooks if you're a freelancer or service business that wants a streamlined invoicing and time-tracking experience and is willing to pay for it.
