hey there guys my name is marcus and in this video i'm going to compare x0 with freshbooks the first thing i'm going to talk about is what are the main differences between cerro and freshbooks then i'm going to compare pricing plans and then i'm going to show you the features like how it feels to use freshbooks and how it feels to use xero they are both great but in my opinion they are both different i would be using freshbooks if i would be alone without employees and i just want to track my expenses also i have my invoices and also do the time tracking for my projects in that way just for that freshbook sigma is amazing but if you want to do the bank reconciliation if you want to have multiple currencies if you got mid-sized business you should go definitely with x0 and let's just go for the main differences so as you can see the appy got fresh books the security also fresh books balance sheet this is the first thing that xero is winning bang reconciliation if you need it you need to go with x0 because freshbooks doesn't have it i will go and even zoom in more billable hours this is uh in project in freshbooks you have it in excel you don't you don't have it currency conversion again here in excel data import of your data you can do it in freshbooks electronic payments also possible in freshbooks expense claims possible in xero expense tracking invoice management both are possible only in freshbooks invoices are both mobile integration in freshbooks payroll management as i mentioned if you're gonna have employees use xero project tracking project time again freshbooks is winning receiving management sales tax management time and expense tracking timesheets and m again all four years for freshbooks you can say that okay marcus but based on this what you showed us facebook is completely dominating so no it's like no i made on both of these tutorials i was using these tools and just 0 is complex bracebooks is easy and now let's talk about the pricing plans so then we will go to the features like how it actually feels to use xero and how it actually feels to use fresh books when you will come here to fresh books you got monthly 15 bucks a month in light version if you can 50 billable clients plus 25 dollars a month yearly that's like 20 to 50 or 1450 and then you get a premium account now on x0 you see it's 20 bucks a month send 20 invoices and quotes again enter five bills standard version 30 bucks is like full again enter bills reconstar bank accounts bank transactions capture bills okay you can also learn about standard plan and would you actually have that and so sir is a little bit more expensive but it offers more things so if you need it it's going to be great now let's just talk about what you actually can get and how it feels like like from invoice etc so in freshbooks you got dashboard when you would see everything with outstanding revenue total profit revenue streams then you get clients here when i'm going to click on it again you can add a new client i have one client right here then i can see invoices that i can generate for that client payments i can do expenses and it's like really simple like when i'm going to show you 0 it will blow your mind how difficult it seems expenses then you get estimates here again really simple time tracking this is a huge advantage to freshbooks comparing to xero projects that i can like open the project then i can do time tracking for the project right so like i can simply click projects here apple project and just click on it and play around the log time here and i can click my team and this is how like freshbooks works it's just fresh it's easy to do on the other hand etc look so you got the dashboard here you got with checking account you got both icons here uh then you can have spend money receive transfer money then on right side you get account watch list i'm going to move my camera a little bit so you can see everything here or like put it down then you get the invoice owed to you and bills you need to pay and now the fund begins first on the left side you can simply switch and add new organization you can have like more payrolls business you get a short term cash flow here you got business snapshot then you get like invoices here and bills to pay purchase order to purchase or review sales or we quote expense claims checks like everything here you got a full package with x0 and right here you can add credit node you can do that in freshbook in new invoice i can click on a new invoice let's go with the freshbooks i can go to dashboard create new invoice so you see it here so i just add smart agency in freshbooks again it's similar united states i can add to client same thing i can make it uh like similar freshbooks feels more clean but again i would definitely go with the freshbooks if you're just starting out with something but 0 is all right so i just add here the item and same thing here add line book right voila same thing same style so they are both and you just approve it ink zero now to go even further this is the same with the bills to pay and you just add your new bill on accounting you see here okay and this is where the like real real advancement begins you can reconcile 26 items you have reporting here which is much more advanced comparing to price books chart of accounts account transactions balance sheet that you can have really really much more complex right but then you got projects here in which freshbooks is winning right yes you can create a project here and what i'm going to click on project i can add a time task time entry estimate expenses but it's just like you can do the time tracking directly in freshbooks so if you're a freelancer i think freshbooks is a really good choice for you if you're just starting out and if you don't need anything complex but in a moment when you're gonna have employees or you are you need to connect like your ecommerce store with xero to have automatically invoices generated and templates an accountant can see it and log into xero just you need to you need to have x0 or quickbooks so these two that i would just decide between these two and then you have contacts here and this is similar and you have like list of customer suppliers and groups like contractors that you can create like special groups if i know designers you can have group of designers in xero but yeah so this is pretty much it to summarize this whole video use fresh books if you're like freelancer if you're working alone in that way i would definitely go with the fresh books but if you have a midsize business or if you're going to generate a lot of invoices i think sorrow is the best way to go and would also uh if you're going to have like in the future employees so yeah let me know in the comments what do you think about this video thank you very much everybody for watching i hope you enjoyed this video and see ya goodbye
