ClientTrack vs FreshBooks
ClientTrack or FreshBooks?
FreshBooks is accounting software with invoicing built in — double-entry bookkeeping, expense tracking, and tax reports, priced by how many billable clients you have. ClientTrack skips the accounting layer and focuses on the project: files, messages, and invoices your client actually logs in to see.
$10/mo, flat
Projects, invoicing, and a client portal. Nothing else.
$23/mo (Lite, capped at 5 billable clients)
No free plan — 30-day free trial — an accounting & invoicing platform.

Where ClientTrack wins
Not billed per client count
FreshBooks' cheapest plan caps you at 5 billable clients before it forces an upgrade to Plus ($43/mo). ClientTrack is one flat price whether you have three clients or thirty.
A free plan, not a 30-day countdown
FreshBooks' trial ends in 30 days. ClientTrack's free plan doesn't.
Built around the project, not the invoice
ClientTrack gives each client a portal with their files, messages, and invoice history — not just a statement of what they've paid.
Where FreshBooks wins
Real accounting, not just invoicing
Double-entry bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, and tax-time reports — if you need actual accounting software rather than a client/project tracker, FreshBooks does that and ClientTrack doesn't.
Built for people switching from tools like FreshBooks
Questions
Does ClientTrack do accounting like FreshBooks? +
No. ClientTrack doesn't do double-entry bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, or tax reports — it's scoped to projects, invoicing, and the client portal.
Is FreshBooks cheaper than ClientTrack? +
Close at the entry tier ($23/mo vs. $10/mo), but FreshBooks' Lite plan caps you at 5 billable clients. Once you cross that, you're on Plus at $43/mo — well above ClientTrack's $20/mo Growth plan, which has no client cap.
Can I import my clients from FreshBooks? +
Not automatically today — you'd add clients and projects manually in ClientTrack.
