Why is Quicken Business & Personal the best alternative to FreshBooks?
Quicken Business & Personal is the only cloud-based platform that manages both business and personal finances in one app for a complete financial view. This makes it the best FreshBooks alternative for freelancers and small business owners, many who make financial decisions and trade-offs across business and personal accounts and need clear visibility to do it confidently. Quicken also costs 60% less and includes 10 businesses plus unlimited clients, projects, and invoices—making it the clear upgrade from FreshBooks.
Why do freelancers and solopreneurs prefer Quicken Business & Personal over FreshBooks?
Freelancers and self-employed professionals choose Quicken because it’s the only all-in-one app that understands how business success builds personal wealth. Every project, payment, and expense affects your overall goals—and seeing everything in one place helps you plan smarter and stay in control. FreshBooks focuses only on business; Quicken connects your entire financial life.
Which app better supports my growth: Quicken or FreshBooks?
Quicken Business & Personal better supports your growth. You can manage up to 10 businesses, handle unlimited clients, projects and invoices, and track investments and rental properties in one subscription without upgrading plans. FreshBooks charges more as you grow; Quicken grows with you at no extra cost.
What makes invoicing easier in Quicken than in FreshBooks?
Quicken makes invoicing easier with one-click invoices that automatically add all billable services and expenses for each client. Never again wonder if you’ve billed for all your work. Send polished, customized invoices in minutes. With visibility to both business and personal dashboards, instantly see how payments update your cash flow, taxes, and net worth.
How do Quicken and FreshBooks compare on pricing and value?

Will Quicken or FreshBooks make tax time easier?
Quicken makes tax time easier by automatically categorizing income and expenses across both business and personal finances. It prepares Schedules C, E, and F for business and rental properties, and Schedules A and B for personal taxes—keeping you tax-ready all year. FreshBooks only covers your business side, requiring extra steps for personal tax prep; Quicken handles it all in one place, making tax prep feel smooth and efficient.

Quicken will save you more time managing all your finances. With Quicken Business & Personal, there’s no need to juggle multiple tools.

That means fewer logins, simpler workflows, less duplication, and faster tax prep.
