Just an update to this. The $14 per month price tag for Freshbooks is starting to add up, whereas $39 once for Billings is enticing.

However, Freshbooks is SaaS, which is lovely, for my multiple systems. But I bill so infrequently I can’t warrant a monthly fee….I wish FB had a “super small business” plan…

Brian, I am sure you'll be very happy with Freshbooks. They're a great company and nice guys too. Personally our business outgrew an invoicing app and that's why we built LessAccounting.com. Great review of all the apps.

I second the QuickBooks hate. It might be good for more complex businesses, but definitely not for freelancers.

Keep me posted on the Billings iPhone app – that would definitely be something that would push me to it.

Freshbooks has a Time Tracker included, with a Dashboard app and an iphone App to log time to a specific project and/or task.

Having been all over the place for the last couple of months, I've actually plunked down and bought Billings and have been extremely satisfied with it. Once I realized that I'm pretty much working for myself, the need for having a web-based solution diminished as I ALWAYS have my computer with me — and with the Billings iPhone app ready to drop in January, I'll be able to to use that when I'm too lazy to open up the MacBook.

Bottom line, all of us seem to be saying "screw you, QuickBooks!"
