Frequently asked questions
Does Invoices have a free plan like FreshBooks's trial?
It's better than a trial — Invoices is free forever, not for a limited time. The free plan gives you 3 sent invoices a month, unlimited drafts, with no card required and nothing that disappears if you never subscribe. A typical trial on tools like FreshBooks, by contrast, usually expects a card up front and ends after a set number of days.
Is Invoices actually comparable to FreshBooks?
For the everyday case, yes — Send professional invoices and see what's outstanding at a glance — without paying for a full accounting suite you'll never use most of. Invoices deliberately covers what most small businesses actually use rather than every advanced feature FreshBooks has, which is exactly how it stays cheaper.
Why is Invoices cheaper than FreshBooks?
Invoices is priced flat at $5/mo à la carte with no per-seat or per-response fees, and it's one of 8 tools you can bundle under a single $20/mo subscription — the shared login and billing is what keeps the cost down, not a stripped-down product.
Can I switch from FreshBooks without moving everything else at once?
Yes. À la carte pricing lets you replace just FreshBooks first — you don't need to move your whole stack to Multitool on day one.
