The Best FreshBooks Alternative for Freelancers
FreshBooks is an accounting tool that added time tracking. TimerMVP is a business platform built around how you actually work.
Why People Switch From FreshBooks
Common frustrations that drive freelancers to look for something better.
Expensive for What You Get
FreshBooks starts at $11.50/mo for just 5 clients. Their Plus plan ($21/mo) still limits you to 50 clients. TimerMVP has no limits at $9.99/mo.
Time Tracking Is an Afterthought
FreshBooks' timer is basic — no multi-timer, no break tracking, no activity heatmaps. It was bolted onto an accounting tool, not built for time-centric work.
No Business Development Tools
FreshBooks has no lead pipeline, no contract management with e-signatures, and no weekly planner. You still need separate tools for growing your business.
