The price hasn't changed at all. > > **Cons**: Their support is still hit-and-miss, and the changes with the currencies and the bugs with inaccurate balances is still a problem. > > I can't fault FreeAgent much as they are still the best but I just really wish they would improve on the issues that have been going on throughout the years. ----- ### "Freeagent decent software" — 4.0/5 > **Matthew** | *17 February 2026* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simple to use and can easily process required documents. The customer services is probably the best part of this company. > > **Cons**: Could do with some more templates and easier to add pages. I think the worst part is the templates they need to bade easier > > They are very helpful when I do not understand something and they also are willing to look at issues rather than expect me to sort. ----- ### "Seriously overpriced awkward software" — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *20 September 2018* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It does try very hard to be all things to minuscule businesses. The customer service department are available most of the time but not always competent. > > **Cons**: They guys who wrote it think they are cool so they write really unprofessional familiarity messages that are really desperate. The software is awkward, cumbersome and I don't trust the outcomes. It dangerously empowers unqualified users to do their own tax returns wrongly and invites HMRC to investigate them. It empowers unqualified users to process their own payroll wrongly meaning that they miss out on allowances that are available through qualified accountants. The software isn't capable of carrying out simple basic level bookkeeping tasks and the customer services department dream up complicated workarounds rather than getting the issues fixed. Buyers beware, > > I bought into the whole cool new FreeAgent software buzz and as the price was high, I thought, they must be able to offer better features than the others. To say that I was disappointed is a gross understatement. There are so many flaws in this software, I'm surprised they haven't yet been sued under fit for purpose laws. I definitely recommend staying away from this software and if you do have to use it, beware. ----- ### "FreeAgent makes small business accounting easier" — 5.0/5 > **Sherry** | *20 December 2025* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about FreeAgent is that it is a good way to invoice clients and track payments as well as manage expenses. It is a great product for small businesses. I also like that is uses the cloud. > > **Cons**: The negative about FreeAgent is that ist is based in the UK and only offers free access if you have a bank in the UK. It also does not have tiered pricing like Quickbooks offers. > > We sampled FreeAgent and found it very easy to learn and use and it was easy to get assistance with the support. ----- ### "It makes managing your company easy" — 5.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *9 November 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best thing about FreeAgent is the dashboard view. From here I can see at a glance how my business is running, with clear visuals giving trends over time for cashflow, invoicing timeline, bank balances, expenses, bills, profit and loss and tax. > > **Cons**: When entering an expense (not using smart capture) it is really easy to put the wrong date in. > > Overall I think this is a great application. I don't often need to go searching for answers on how to use it, but when I do, there is also a good knowledge base to fall back onto. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/33386/freeagent?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/33386/freeagent) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
