FreshBooks pricing 2026
This page covers FreshBooks's published prices, free plan limits and the catches, using StackScope's accounting software report, last verified October 2026.
FreshBooks has a 30-day free trial but no ongoing free version. Lite is $23 per month, Plus is $43 per month with 50 billable clients plus receipt scanning and accounting reports ($464.40 per year billed annually), and Premium is $70 per month with unlimited clients ($756 per year billed annually); a Select tier above this is Contact Sales. FreshBooks' pricing page still shows 90% off for 3 months, while its own formal offer terms previously stated that promotion ended August 18, 2026, and StackScope has not resolved that conflict. The main catch is that client caps and paid team-member add-ons can raise the real cost as a business grows. Capterra currently lists Lite at $21, Plus at $38 and Premium at $65. Praise centers on ease of use, invoicing and quick setup.

| FreshBooks | 30-day free trial; no ongoing free version. [VENDOR / 3P — Capterra] | $23/mo standardLite · MONTHLY: $23 standard. FreshBooks' current pricing page still displays 90% off for 3 months ($2.30/mo), while FreshBooks' own formal offer terms previously stated that version of the promotion ended August 18, 2026 — this conflict has not been cleanly resolved; the current page keeps showing 90% off despite that stated expiration, so don't treat the promo as definitely verified. [VENDOR — source conflict] ANNUAL: $248.40/year — now vendor-published in FreshBooks' 2026 price-change FAQ (includes a stated 10% discount vs. monthly), not a derived figure. [VENDOR] 1 included user; additional Team Members are $11/mo each. Other published add-ons: Advanced Payments $20/mo, FreshBooks Payroll $40/mo + $6/mo per user. 5-user equivalent: $67/mo, assuming 1 included user + 4 paid Team Members [DERIVED — VENDOR: $23 + 4×$11].

[VENDOR] | $70/moPremium · [VENDOR] unlimited clients. ANNUAL: $756.00/year, vendor-published (10% discount vs. monthly). [VENDOR] Select tier above this is Contact Sales/custom, not publicly priced. | Catch: client caps and paid team-member add-ons can raise the real cost as a business grows. [3P — G2; 3P — Capterra] Praise is dominated by ease of use, invoicing, quick setup, and customer support. Reporting limitations and per-client pricing recur as complaints. Capterra currently lists Lite $21/Plus $38/Premium $65, and G2 shows the promotional $2.30/$4.30/$7.00 figures plus a separate G2 Deals 90%-off-for-4-months offer — none of these match FreshBooks' current $23/$43/$70 standard prices; flagged, not used. [3P — G2/Capterra] Users: 1 included, additional Team Members $11/mo each. Invoices/bills/clients: Lite 5 billable clients; Plus 50; Premium and Select unlimited. Upgrade trigger: exceeding 5 clients, or needing more than 1 user without paying per-seat. AI: no separate AI add-on price found; recurring invoices and automated bank import are bundled into the tier, with receipt scanning bundled starting on Plus. [VENDOR] |
