Why businesses pick Spheyas

The invoice list in Spheyas, showing invoice numbers, customers, dates, amounts and payment status.

Never counted by client

FreshBooks Lite stops at 5 billable clients and Plus at 50 — pass that and you move up a tier. Spheyas has never capped clients on any plan, including Free.

No charge per seat

Every extra person on FreshBooks is $11 a month. On Spheyas your bookkeeper, partner and assistant all get their own login at no extra cost.

A free plan, not a countdown

FreshBooks starts at $23 a month with a money-back window. Spheyas Free stays free: 20 finalized documents a month, full accounting, no card asked for.

When FreshBooks is the better choice

Spheyas isn't right for everyone. Stay where you are if any of this describes you.

  • You need automatic bank feeds and transaction reconciliation — Spheyas does not do those.
  • Time tracking and project profitability are central to how you bill clients.
  • You rely on their proposals, retainers or expense capture.
  • You want a mature mobile app and a large support network behind it.

Spheyas is a young product in early access. If your billing runs on tracked time and project reporting, FreshBooks is the better fit today — we would rather say so than have you switch and find out.

Try it on your own books

The free plan doesn't expire and never asks for a card. Paid plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee on your first payment.
