...just a little short. I was almost sold on the FreeAgent idea and ready to ship over from Freshbooks but I'm not quite there yet. Definately impressed with the reporting features as it is more UK based than Freshbooks but think you fall a bit short in a few areas, namely:

1. Estimates - General workflow for me is project - estimate - time tracking/cost - invoice - payment, so an estimates area would be nice to fit in with the workflow.

2. Project numbering - Would be nice to tally together the project number with the projects listed on the invoice aswell as the folder on my system containing the project files. Makes searching for them later easier as you're not having to remember the name of it.

3. Multiple projects on one invoice - Clients could get annoyed with invoice after invoice.

4. Fixed cost option - Not all my work (and Im sure other people too have this) are invoiced based on time. I can't see at the minute where to enter a fixed cost for XYZ project?

5. No Basecamp import (as yet) - do I really have to re-input all my clients details? :(

6. Send reminder button - This would be nice for late payer (like a few of my clients who seem to be happy to skip round the paying process). The idea being all overdue invoices get listed separate from the payed and open ones. I click into overdue invoice no.321 and their sits a nice big button labelled "Send Reminder", which on press immediately dispatches a heavy mob with big sticks....ok Im kidding....more a gentle email reminder saying something like "This invoice is now overdue by XYZ days, if payment sent please ignore this reminder, otherwise prompt action is apprecated blar blar blar".

7. Set hourly rate and payment terms globally - 28 days and hourly rate are pretty normal for me for all projects so a global setting option would be nice. Bit of a pain redoing them for each project.

8. A message window to send with the invoices - Just incase users want to/need to send a message along with the invoice.

That's what Ive found so far from my playing anyway. Not by any means dissing it, it's showing real promise and no Im not affiliated with Freshbooks (it has some of the options above but looks awful I think and falls short in areas too).

Ill keep my eye on this though for the future and come back to it later.

Keep up the good work.
