Here are some additional notes on the online invoicing services we reviewed.
- Smooth navigation. Excellent design.
- Allows export of invoices to CSV format.
- Mobile friendly website.
- Complicated setup and administration. Too many options and settings to choose from.
- Not secure. No SSL encryption means your data and customers information is being exposed.
- Best option for custom template look/feel – with over 100 beautifully designed templates to choose from.
- Export invoice information to XLS
- Nice wizard on startup to gather important info.
- Smart wizards on each section to guide you through first time use and setup.
- Professional interface. Easy to use.
- CRM connectivity between Zoho CRM system

- Login process is a little strange. You need to login to you own subdomain account only visible from an email that Freshbooks sends you upon sign-up.
- Excellent Import/Export support of clients, invoices..etc.
