What is FreshBooks?

FreshBooks is billing software from FreshBooks, based in Toronto, Canada and has been building software since 2003. Invoicing and accounting for freelancers and small service businesses.

Billing software generates GST-compliant invoices, handles e-invoicing and e-way bills where they apply, and keeps a clean record for filing. For most Indian SMBs this is the first software they buy after Tally, and the wrong choice shows up as hours lost every single week.

Pricing is published and starts at roughly ₹1,600 per month. Beyond billing software, FreshBooks also covers accounting software.
