Cons of using FreeAgent Software

One of the main concerning points of FreeAgent software is its pricing. Many businesses may find it quite expensive compared to other similar bookkeeping software in the market. But, it offers many different offers to the new customers where they can get heavy discounts like 50% off.
Limited Plans:
It misses customization of plans as per its features. Hence, you will find the packages very limited. Many businesses don’t prefer using certain features, but they’ll have to pay as those features are included in the selected package.
Lengthy Sign-up process:
You will encounter many questions during your initial sign-up process. Feel free to ask our accounting experts if you have any query related to the process, as they can easily resolve your issue.
Misses some UK terminologies:
The platform is highly targeted at UK businesses but still has many features as per American terminology. Also, the date fields are not as per the UK format.
Bank-related issues:
Most users find frequent issues related to the bank. There are failures, or users may have to wait very long while entering transactions into the bank feed.
But, even after having these cons, FreeAgent has managed to be a prominent accounting and bookkeeping software in the market. As a small business owner, Freelancer, or contractor, you can trust FreeAgent as your bookkeeping platform.
