Software reviews for freelancers

Independent comparisons of the accounting, invoicing, and bookkeeping tools freelancers actually pay for — evaluated on pricing, features, and fit for a one-person business.

Software built for enterprise finance teams often makes poor sense for a business of one — too many features you'll never touch, too much per-seat pricing logic that assumes a team. This section reviews tools specifically through a freelancer's lens: does it save real time, is the pricing sane at low revenue, and does it play well with a simple, cash-basis way of tracking money.

Our criteria are documented in each review: pricing at typical freelancer volume, ease of setup, quality of mobile apps, customer support responsiveness, and how well the tool exports data at tax time. See our Affiliate Disclosure for how this category may be monetized.
