Do You Really Need FreshBooks, or Can Your CRM Handle Invoicing Too?

In the world of business tools, one of the biggest questions is whether you're getting your money's worth. Take invoicing, for example. Many businesses fork out AU$19 a month for FreshBooks just to handle invoicing. But what if your CRM could do that for free? Let’s explore whether it’s time to rethink your invoicing strategy and what DaveCRM brings to the table.

The Cost of Standalone Invoicing Software

FreshBooks and QuickBooks are popular choices for invoicing and accounting, but they come with a price. FreshBooks, for instance, costs AU$19 per month for its basic invoicing service. While QuickBooks offers similar features, it’s not exactly a bargain either. In contrast, DaveCRM provides robust invoicing capabilities combined with CRM features and automation — all without charging a cent.

For small businesses and start-ups, every dollar counts. Spending on standalone invoicing software when a free CRM with invoicing capabilities exists might not be the most financially savvy choice.

How Effective is Your Current Solution?

When assessing your current invoicing solution, consider what you're actually paying for. FreshBooks and QuickBooks both offer invoicing, but DaveCRM steps it up a notch by integrating invoicing with customer relationship management and automation.

Imagine sending invoices directly from your CRM, tracking customer interactions, and automating follow-ups without switching between platforms. With DaveCRM, you get to keep your invoicing process streamlined and integrated within the same tool you use for managing customer relationships.
