Looking for a Freshbooks alternative?
Get better bang for your buck with Reckon accounting software
Reckon is $40/month for 4 employees. FreshBooks is $47 for just 1 – PLUS $11 per extra!
Why choose Reckon over FreshBooks?
More features and better value – without the extra costs or restrictions that can blow out your budget.
Save big with Reckon
Reckon’s entry-level plan starts from just $24/month, compared to FreshBooks Plus at $36/month – that’s 33% cheaper. You’ll get powerful accounting tools at a fraction of the cost, making Reckon the smarter, more affordable choice for small businesses.
Payroll that doesn’t cost extra
FreshBooks Plus starts from $36/month, but charges an extra $11 per employee for payroll, meaning costs can blow out quickly as your team grows. With Reckon, payroll is optional and affordable – just $16/month for up to 4 employees, and only $32/month as you scale. No hidden add-ons or per-employee fees.
Unlimited invoicing and clients
FreshBooks limits you to just 50 billable clients, so you’ll need to upgrade once you reach that cap. Reckon includes unlimited invoices and customers in every plan, giving you room to grow without restrictions or price jumps.
