Is FreshBooks better than QuickBooks?

I use to use Quickbooks Online. However, I found it was too much for me, as I do not have an accounting background, and own a small business. After checking out other competitors, and some open-source software, I decided on Freshbooks. I could not be happier for my choice. The software is very easy to use, and there support is TOP NOTCH. There is no install, so it's just a matter of using your web browser, and it was very easy to integrate it with my bank accounts. I use it on a daily basis, and I cannot recommend this software enough, and it's perfect for my small business needs. (Link)

Unfortunately, I had spent far too much money on a cumbersome and overrated product through QuickBooks. Due to that experience, I vetted long and hard before deciding which company to work with. FreshBooks is very user-friendly and fun! It meets all of my needs. Their reports are great, and I can easily track my income and expenses. FreshBooks is also very cost-effective. I have had some questions over the years, and their customer service is exceptional - quick responses from knowledgeable staff. They have my highest recommendation! (Link)
