Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
FreshBooks stands out with Client-friendly invoicing and Expense management. Zoho Books counters with Automated bank feeds and Inventory management.
FreshBooks's Achilles heel: client limits on lower tiers are frustrating — lite caps you at 5 billable clients which is nothing. Zoho Books's: part of the zoho sprawl — powerful alone, but you’ll get upsold into 50 other zoho products constantly. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
