I was trying to find a breakdown of Freshbooks, Xero, and Quickbooks. Found this: http://accounting-software.findthebest.com/compare/64-157/Xero-vs-Freshbooks h

  I don't think Freshbooks really counts... They do great marketing, and the name being a play on Quickbooks is simply brilliant, but it's not at all an accounting system. No double entry, no general ledger...it's just invoices. Granted, they are incredibly successful, so are doing something right, but I find it fairly annoying that their marketing positions themselves as a Quickbooks alternative ("cloud accounting") when they are not, IMO. Perhaps I'm being pedantic. So, Freshbooks aside, Xero is not Quickbooks, so I think that means it wins. :-)

  Freshbooks is great for small design/dev contracting. As 1 guy running a bunch of contractors for several clients, it fit my needs perfectly. Quickbooks Online is mainly for very small businesses. QuickBooks Windows can run a 20M a year business QuickBooks Mac has basically be abandoned. XERO has a killer API, but I never run into businesses on the platform. We see more people on AccountEdge (MYOB usa).
