FreshBooks is amazing if you send invoices. But if you get paid by YouTube, Uber, or Etsy, you need PlatformTaxHub.
Built for a different job

"Real-time net profit calculations for all income & expenses."
Stay with FreshBooks if your revenue starts life as an invoice. Estimates, invoicing, time tracking, retainers, payment reminders and chasing late payers are what its whole workflow is built for, and it does that job better than any payout-tracking tool will. If most of what you earn comes from named clients you bill directly, there is no reason to move.
