真正的区别
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
FreshBooks stands out with Client-friendly invoicing and Time tracking and project costing. Sage counters with Cash flow forecasting and Smart invoicing.
FreshBooks's Achilles heel: client limits on lower tiers are frustrating — lite caps you at 5 billable clients which is nothing. Sage's: feels old-school compared to xero and freshbooks — the ux hasn’t fully modernized despite cloud upgrades. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
