Where FreshBooks wins
- The invoicing experience is polished and has been refined for years.
- Strong mobile apps, including mileage tracking.

- A 30-day trial with no credit card, same as ours.

So which one should you pick?
Choose FreshBooks if…
- You only need invoicing and books, and none of the client communication tools.
- You are already deep into their mobile app and it works for you.
- You bill in USD and your clients are mostly American.
Choose Internoodle if…
- You have more than 5 clients and do not want the plan to jump because of a headcount rather than a feature.
- More than one person touches the books. Every FreshBooks plan is single-user; extra seats are $11 USD each.
- You are paying for a mail tool, an e-signature tool or a scheduler on the side.
- You want data migration included rather than reserved for a custom-quoted plan.
