FreshBooks vs QuickBooks Online: invoicing or a broader accounting workflow?
Compare FreshBooks and QuickBooks Online for a small service business, covering clients, users, accountant access, regular prices and migration questions.
Tool profile · Invoicing
US small-business accounting software with free and paid options, plan-specific user access and expanded reporting.
US page lists Free and paid Simple Start, Essentials, Plus and Advanced. Verify current eligibility, offers and renewal prices.
On 6 October 2026, the US pricing page listed Free, Simple Start, Essentials, Plus and Advanced. Free listed one user, one connected bank and two invoices a month; the page describes an unlimited-invoicing exception for users who qualify for and enable QuickBooks Payments. Accountant access requires a paid plan.
The displayed regular monthly prices were $38 for Simple Start, $85 for Essentials, $140 for Plus and $340 for Advanced, alongside a 50% discount for three months. Save the actual checkout quote: eligibility, discounts, taxes, connected payment services and optional payroll can change your total.
Simple Start lists one user plus access for two accountants. Essentials lists three users, Plus five, and Advanced 25; accountant allowances are separate. Plus lists inventory and project profitability. These documented differences support a shortlist, not a claim that one tier is right for every business.
Ask the person responsible for your books which reports and access they require. Test an invoice, a customer payment, an expense and the resulting reports with safe sample data. Software selection is separate from deciding tax treatment or changing historical books.
