FreshBooks is a strong choice when you want invoicing, time tracking and double-entry accounting in one place. It has a trial rather than a free plan, and its lower plans limit the number of clients you bill. Jiffy does not do bookkeeping: it focuses on quotes, invoices and getting paid, with a Free plan, signed quotes on every plan and 100 invoice languages. If you want your books in the same app, stay with FreshBooks.
