    Why Users Switch from FreshBooks

    1

    The $21/month Lite plan hard-caps you at 5 active clients, your cost doubles the moment your business grows

    2

    Full FreshBooks access costs $55 to $65/month, $780/year for features most freelancers use only partially

    3

    Per-client pricing means the plan you need is dictated by how many clients you bill, not which features you actually use

    4

    FreshBooks is built as an accounting platform first, invoicing is one piece of a complex interface designed for bookkeepers, not freelancers

    Common Questions About Switching from FreshBooks

    Price. FreshBooks Lite is $21/month and caps you at 5 active clients; full access runs up to $65/month, $780/year. SolidInvoice Solo is $9/month ($90/year) with unlimited invoices and up to 10 active clients, saving you $162/year against Lite. Pro is $19/month ($190/year) with unlimited clients and automated payment reminders, saving you $590/year against FreshBooks's top plan.

    For invoicing: yes. Professional invoices, quotes, online payments (Stripe, PayPal), recurring billing, client management, and multi-currency are all covered, with team seats on Pro and Business. It doesn't include FreshBooks's accounting features like bank reconciliation, expense tracking, or payroll. If those are critical to you, you may want to keep a separate accounting tool.

    SolidInvoice doesn't have a built-in import tool yet, data import is on our roadmap. The fastest approach is to add your active clients to SolidInvoice manually (takes 10 to 15 minutes) and start invoicing fresh. Keep FreshBooks in read-only mode for your historical records while you transition. And if you ever leave SolidInvoice, you can export everything as CSV or PDF anytime, no exit fees.

    Yes. Solo is $9/month ($90/year billed annually) with unlimited invoices, quotes, online payments, recurring billing, and multi-currency for up to 10 active clients. Pro is $19/month for unlimited clients, 3 team seats, automated reminders, custom branding, and API access. Payment processing fees (Stripe's standard 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) are charged by the payment processor, SolidInvoice doesn't take a cut.

    Yes. The Free plan is free forever: 3 clients, 5 invoices a month, quotes, and online payments through Stripe or PayPal. When you need more, try Pro free for 30 days with no card. When the trial ends you go back to Free and keep all your data.
