Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about AgencyPro vs FreshBooks

What are the main differences between AgencyPro and FreshBooks?

FreshBooks is accounting and invoicing software designed for small businesses across industries. AgencyPro is purpose-built specifically for agencies with integrated CRM, project management, client portal, and white-labeling. While FreshBooks handles invoicing and basic time tracking, it lacks the project management depth, client portal, and agency-specific workflows that AgencyPro provides.

Can AgencyPro handle invoicing like FreshBooks?

Yes, AgencyPro includes comprehensive invoicing with payment processing, recurring billing, expense tracking, and automatic invoice generation—all features FreshBooks offers. AgencyPro goes further by integrating invoicing with project management and time tracking, so invoices automatically reflect project work and tracked hours without manual data entry.

Does FreshBooks have a client portal for agencies?

FreshBooks has basic client access for viewing invoices and estimates, but it's not a true client portal. There's no project visibility, task tracking, or branded experience. AgencyPro provides a fully white-labeled client portal with custom domains where clients can view projects, track progress, submit requests, and access documents—essential for agency-client relationships.

How does pricing compare between AgencyPro and FreshBooks?

FreshBooks pricing starts at $19/month for Lite (5 clients), $33/month for Plus (50 clients), and $60/month for Premium (unlimited clients). AgencyPro offers flat monthly pricing starting at $99/month with unlimited clients and users, plus all agency management features. For agencies needing more than invoicing, AgencyPro provides better value with integrated CRM and project management.

Can I migrate my invoicing data from FreshBooks to AgencyPro?

Yes, AgencyPro supports importing clients, invoices, expenses, and payment history from FreshBooks. Our migration assistance helps you export your FreshBooks data and import it into AgencyPro, ensuring you preserve all financial records and client information during the transition.

AgencyPro vs FreshBooks: Which Is Right for Your Agency?

FreshBooks is an accounting and invoicing tool designed for freelancers and small businesses. AgencyPro is an agency operations platform. FreshBooks handles your books; AgencyPro manages your entire agency from projects to billing to client delivery.

The choice depends on what you need more — robust accounting features (FreshBooks) or a unified agency management platform with built-in billing (AgencyPro). Most agencies that switch find they still need QuickBooks or Xero for taxes, but no longer need FreshBooks for invoicing.

If you're a freelancer or solopreneur billing 5-10 clients with simple project work, FreshBooks covers your needs. If you manage a team, run retainers, and need client portals alongside your billing, AgencyPro replaces FreshBooks plus the 3-4 tools you use around it.

Who Should Choose FreshBooks?

  • Solo consultants and freelancers who need simple invoicing and expense tracking
  • Small agencies whose primary need is accounting with basic project features
  • Teams already using FreshBooks integrated with QuickBooks for tax preparation

Who Should Choose AgencyPro?

  • Growing agencies that need project management, billing, and client portals in one tool
  • Teams running retainer-based services that need utilization tracking alongside invoicing
  • Agencies paying for FreshBooks plus Asana plus Harvest plus a client portal tool

Bottom line: if your agency bills clients, manages projects, and wants a branded client experience without juggling multiple subscriptions, AgencyPro is the more complete choice. If freshbooks already covers your needs and you don't require integrated billing or client portals, it remains a capable tool for its intended purpose.
