What FreshBooks is
FreshBooks is accounting and invoicing software for small businesses, popular with service businesses.

Every plan has unlimited invoices and estimates, automated recurring invoices, late payment reminders and late fees, a client portal, bank import, expenses, mileage and time tracking. Plus adds proposals, retainers, e-signatures, double-entry reports and accountant access. Each extra team member costs $11 a month.

Pricing in detail
For one person invoicing a handful of clients, FreshBooks Lite at $23 a month and Invoxa Pro at $5.99 both work; FreshBooks includes bookkeeping, Invoxa does not. The difference shows when you grow: a sixth billable client moves you to Plus at $43 a month, a second person adds $11 a month, and AutoPay card payments cost 3.5% + 30¢ instead of 2.9% + 30¢. Invoxa stays at one price with unlimited clients; card payments go through your own Stripe account at Stripe's rate (2.9% + 30¢ for domestic US cards), so per-payment fees are about the same as FreshBooks' standard card rate.
