FreshBookssite ↗pricing ↗
Accounting software aimed at freelancers and service businesses, organised around invoicing and time tracking. Paid plans start at $23/mo (Lite); no free plan is published. The ladder we hold runs 3 paid tiers, topping out at $70/mo (Premium). We read the same $23/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country. It quotes USD here rather than local currency, so your bank sets the conversion.

Where they differ
- Cheapest way in: FreeAgent at £10/mo, against FreshBooks at $23/mo. That is the entry price in this market on the dates shown, not a judgement about which suits you.
- Free plans: neither publishes one. Any free access here is a trial, which is a deadline.
- How far each ladder goes: FreeAgent tops out at £33/mo, FreshBooks at $70/mo. A deeper ladder is not a worse deal — it is a bill that keeps climbing if you keep growing.
- FreshBooks: We read the same $23/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country. It quotes USD here rather than local currency, so your bank sets the conversion.
