Switching from FreshBooks: common questions
Can I import my data from FreshBooks?
Partly. sync.d imports past invoices from a CSV file, so you can export invoices from FreshBooks and rename the columns to match the sync.d import format. Clients are added one at a time, as there is no client CSV import. Active proposals can be recreated with the AI proposal generator.
How long does switching from FreshBooks take?
It depends on how many clients and open invoices you have. The steps are: brand your workspace, connect Google Calendar for meeting booking, add your clients, import past invoices from CSV, and invite clients to the sync.d portal.
What happens to my FreshBooks subscription?
Keep it until the last invoice you sent from FreshBooks is paid, then cancel it. sync.d charges no migration fee, and you can export your monthly invoice report as CSV at any time.
Does sync.d do everything FreshBooks does?
No. FreshBooks is stronger on PayPal auto-sync, expense tracking and time tracking. sync.d does not include bookkeeping, expense tracking, time tracking or payroll. It covers proposals with AI drafting and client signing, GST invoicing, a client portal, meeting booking, project messaging and AI meeting summaries.
Is sync.d cheaper than FreshBooks?
sync.d has a Free plan with monthly limits, Pro at $39 a month for one user, Team at $89 a month for up to 10 users, and Enterprise priced on request. FreshBooks pricing: $23 to $70/mo; check their site for current prices. Which costs less depends on your team size and the plan you need.
