It's easy to get your head around and creating products, services and invoices is super straight forward. I love how I can link my bank account to it. #### Cons I wish there were more features to tailor to my needs and to integrate other apps/services like GoCardless. However that's quite a big ask considering how cheap the subscription is. #### Reasons for switching to QuickBooks Solopreneur Zoho Books was more expensive and a lot more complicated to figure out. It did have more features, but simplicity is key for a small business. --- ### budge Estimator - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: fannie c. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Electrical/ Electronic Manufacturing - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

I could learn the basics of freelance book-keeping #### Cons not sure.

It has been ok, but definitely needed. Price hikes have been frustrating over the last few years. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like that it comes with state and fed tax filing bundled, as well as the quarterly deposit reporting. #### Cons The cost. Unfortunately, no one else seems to offer a comparable product. Also, at tax time a couple of years ago, I had a fairly hard with support, as I was passed around between different techs, and it took forever to resolve my issue. #### Reasons for choosing QuickBooks Solopreneur FreshBooks couldn't satisfy all my tax needs. --- ### Solid product but lacking some features - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Nick H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. QuickBooks Self-Employed has been the most cost-effective tool for tracking expenses that we have found so far for the Sole-Proprietor's small business. While it has its flaws, it is still better than the alternative...having no tools to help record business expenses. Still keeping our eyes open for other options. Thinking about moving up to QuickBooks Online if our profits go up and can justify the price tag. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros This product was built for the person running a sole propriety. It is very easy to track business expenses. It takes less than a minute to enter an expense and upload a receipt. The mobile app can also track your mileage put on a vehicle for business purposes all year long. Its integration with TurboTax makes it very easy to file taxes as it pulls in all the business expenses and categorizes them for you. You can create and send basic invoices. #### Cons As far as I've been able to tell it has no way of tracking or entering Income unless a customer pays through the QuickBooks portal. Checks or other forms of payment (outside of QuickBooks) will not show up as income. Therefore, the running "Profit/Loss" number at the top of the screen is pretty inaccurate. You can only clear this up when filing taxes through Turbo Tax and entering W2s, other tax documents, and manually enter income. This feature may work just fine if you connect a bank account. We do not. So, it might pull in deposits automatically for you to mark as business or personal transactions. #### Reasons for choosing QuickBooks Solopreneur Price. Our business is so small right now that the alternative cost much more due to including features we cannot yet take advantage of. However, it does include all the features we wish Self-Employed had. #### Vendor response We definitely appreciate your business, and your feedback regarding QuickBooks Self-Employed. To make sure you're getting full use out of the app we'd like to give you the link on how to enter your income or expense transactions without having to connect your bank account (https://tinyurl.com/2p962kfw) Wishing you continued success -Kristina, The QuickBooks Team Replied January 2022 --- ### No Support, Lots of changes, glitches, almost zero Documentation - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Abby B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered There's just no accountability, they're too big and they have too many products. They don't care about their customers, they don't care about "how bad it would look" when they make terrible changes that cause damage to small businesses. They're too big to hurt, too big to care. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Mileage tracking is great and easy to use. Can connect bank accounts and automatically categorize expenses to certain businesses. You can invoice clients and have them click to pay online via ACH Debit without any fees. #### Cons Things regularly change and then don't work right. There's no announcement about these changes, nor documentation. Functionality gets removed but options will still be there. There's very little documentation. You can request a call from Support, but the call will require you first training someone on what your specific QB product does/doesn't do (because there are 100 different versions) and then once you train their callcenter person, they'll put you on hold for a while and then give you a really strange answer and blow you off. #### Reasons for switching to QuickBooks Solopreneur So I could have clients pay invoices online via check, ACH Debit, without any fees or credit card %. And for mileage tracking --- ### Sticken with Quicken - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Amy H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Management Consulting - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. My overall experience with QuickBooks self employed is I am completely satisfied and enjoy the use of the software currently as my bookkeeper. It has been an asset to my small business #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The thing I am most fond of with QuickBooks Self-Employed version is the ease of use. The software offers a user the functions that cover all necessary withholding categories that are required on a state and federal level. It inputs the correct taxes, insurance, fees etc. required by law within your area. And if you are not within regulation it notifies you and offers the user direction into making sure you are financially in accord to the law. #### Cons What I like least about the software is the exporting IOC information can get tricky sometimes depending on how it will be opened by the receiving device. #### Reasons for choosing QuickBooks Solopreneur It has the most functions in it that completely cover my needs #### Reasons for switching to QuickBooks Solopreneur Zoho just was not working for me. It is a little less detailed in expense reports and categories to expense, just not as many features as this --- ### Strong learning curve but very useful - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Robyn R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Mental Health Care - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Very positive but I needed help working the book keeping consistently. I was getting conflicts where it double counted things. I now have a book keeper who helps me. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros In general it’s very effective and does everything I need. (Book keeping, 1099s, invoices, recurring payments, mileage tracking, etc) #### Cons It has a really strong learning curve and the platform rolls out too many updates in layout and structure. --- ### Easy to Use and Set-Up - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chris K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: February 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall I give it an 8/10 rating but it is easy enough to use that I cannot see myself changing to a different software. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros QuickBooks connects directly to my business account making it accurate and easy to use. I can create invoices in real time and email those to buyers and buyer agents. Customers can pay me directly through the electronic invoice. I’m about to track vehicle mileage with in-app tracking as well as create specific trips for my Home Inspection business. My business accountant has direct access to assist with categorizing expenses. I’m able to create reports and track expenses easily. The reporting process is educational and easy to follow for a small business. I feel secure using QuickBooks. #### Cons I’m not a fan of having some of the pre-set expense categories. When i use my business bank card the software guesses the expense category and I have to go back in and change them. --- ### Pretty Soild - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Alia G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. pretty solid software work really well for me #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros easy to navigate and become familiar with #### Cons a little expensive for me but worth it in m opinion --- ### My Experience with QuickBooks - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Angela W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. The navigation isn't really straightforward. The navigation tools should be better displayed. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros I don't have any pros for this software. My issue could simply be the need for more training on how to use this software. I've only been using this software for 3-4 months. #### Cons I don't like this software so much. It isn't so user friendly (for me). --- ### A business life saver - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Dj T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Graphic Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I started using QuickBooks Self-Employed because it was offered for free if I used TurboTax to file my taxes. It was a great deal, and it kicked my accounting up to a new level. I have been using it ever since, and have been, for the most part, very pleased with it. My clients seem to appreciate many features about it as well. When Intuit began some restructuring and informed us that we would no longer receive Self-Employed for free, I did think about switching. I am a very small business, and while the expense can be written off, I wasn't sure that I was ready to add another monthly expense to my business. However the ease of importing business accounting info into TurboTax each year was too compelling for me to stop using QuickBooks, so I stayed on. It has been a great help to my business over the years, even with that hiccup of having to begin paying for it after using it for just the cost of filing my taxes through TurboTax for nearly three years. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I am a creative person. While I am intelligent and understand the basics of accounting, it is not where my strengths lie. I appreciate that QuickBooks Self-Employed makes things like invoicing and tracking expenses so easy. The fact that it will dump all of the pertinent information into TurboTax come tax time is icing on the cake. It makes managing the finances side of my business so much easier, giving me more time to create for my clients. Reporting is easy, which really came in handy when I bought a house and needed to provide the bank with records of my income and expenses to show I could afford the house. I also really like the fact that I can keep track of personal income and expenses alongside my business accounts. It is really easy to use, and if I ever need help with something I am not familiar with, I have options with their tech support (which has been really helpful when I've called) or providing limited access to an actual accountant. While it's not perfect (nothing is), it has been a great help to me in running my small business. #### Cons While there's nothing glaring that stands out to me, I do wish I could create custom categories for expenses. There are times when I'm not sure how to classify something, as it doesn't fit into the provided categories. I know for some people, that could make the accounting really messy (too many categories could be problematic), but there are a couple of categories for which I make regular purchases, and it would be nice to have the option to make a new category. One other thing I find odd is that sometimes the "rules" for transactions don't apply to new transaction even though the name and amount are exactly the same. I'm sure there is a reason for that, but I can't imagine what it would be. It's a little frustrating to recreate rules that had been working for some time. There is also another small issue that when I am presented with just unclassified transactions, it disappears as soon as I select "personal" or "business" not also allowing me to assign the category. So I have to return to the full transaction list, find the transaction again and then assign the category. Perhaps some people only need to mark with a transaction is business or personal, but for me, I would like to be able to finish classifying the transaction on the same screen. --- ### QuickBooks Solopreneur - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Brayden Z. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Accounting - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for free trial - Reviewed: September 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros 1 Easy to use 2.

My overall experience was satisfactory. It's a well-known name, which may have played a part in my choosing the software. But, as I've stated above, I switched to a more robust and more affordable software. You can view my comparison of QB: SE and my current software, and why I switched, here:https://redconradswellnessalternatives.com/2021/04/05/tools-for-the-self-employed-independent-contractor-small-business-owner-gig-worker/ #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It has many features needed to stay on top things. #### Cons I found it to be a little pricey, especially compared to the software I currently use. The free version of my current software alone blows QB: SE out of the water, paid version is split into tiers that is both more affordable and more robust then QB. --- ### It was great, and then they made it terrible - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Matthew W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Veterinary - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I used to tell everyone how great it was and then they made the self employed app no longer functional. Invoices can't be organized by date, it is riddled with errors that have prevented me from being able to update my business address for over 8 months now (in spite of them promising a fix every time) and to top it off discounts can no longer be added to an invoice. It is really remarkable how they took something so great and have managed to make is so dysfunctional . #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros One of the best things about QB self employed was that I had everything organized at my fingertips all the time. #### Cons Unfortunately, the customer service on the product is abysmal. Everything has to be "escalated" to engineering and then they somehow not only fail to fix the problem but actually oftentimes manage to make it worse. #### Reasons for choosing QuickBooks Solopreneur Because I was an idiot apparently. --- ### Perfect accounting software for the self-employed - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ciara R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Budget-friendly. I can track my mileage and transactions with ease. Invoicing is convenient and looks great. #### Cons I wish it could integrate with the quickbooks for small businesses. --- ### It Keeps Everything Organized! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ruben I. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It has all my income, expenses and mileage in one place. Looks nice, feels nice, smooth for the most part. Hard part is being consistent with updating it with your information/miles/marking transactions as personal or business related. #### Cons The mileage tracker is a bit annoying sometimes, it is always there if it is turned on and, it's probably just mem but I end up turning it off to get rid of the pop-up on my phone. --- ### Quickbooks Self Employed Is The Single Worst User Experience Of My Career - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Jane P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Accounting - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: March 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I continue to receive an error message that my free trial has expired despite my purchase of an annual subscription in August. I have an email receipt, but Intuit appears uninterested in fixing my problem. I have been passed from one inept rep to the next and asked the same questions without resolution. I would LOVE a refund at this point, but Intuit points me to Apple since I purchased the product with Apple Pay. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros I initially thought the functionality would be handy, however, I have changed my mind. I am unable to create an invoice due to a glitch in Intuit’s billing. #### Cons I have spent over 20 hours in the last two weeks trying to access the product I paid for 6 months ago. Customer Service is inept at best and I have yet to receive the promised callback from anyone I have spoken with. #### Reasons for choosing QuickBooks Solopreneur I believed the ease of use would be helpful. #### Vendor response We'd like to ensure that you get the support you need to get your billing issue resolved!

It also can track mileage automatically and gives you an overview of the distance you have traveled each day. #### Cons It is basic, it lacks functionality that should be considered 'basic' such as being able to categorize expenses and income.
