Billing tools include recurring invoices, late-payment reminders, estimate conversion and payments through Stripe or PayPal. It can prepare MTD-compatible VAT returns for HMRC and supports payroll submissions, while Android, iOS and web access cover mobile accounting tasks. A free plan and 30-day trial sit alongside paid plans from £10 per month.

Some readers may need more than FreeAgent’s standard Smart Capture allowance of 10 receipts and bills per month, or may be constrained by cash-basis accounting, which excludes Stock and Payroll. FreeAgent also does not provide detailed support for third-party integrations. Compare alternatives for inventory, receipt capture, accountant access, desktop or self-hosted options, and the platforms available. Weigh each product’s free tier and paid pricing against the accounting, billing and operational needs you would carry over.
