I'm hopeful
I've been using Quickbooks for almost 18 years and growing less fond of it with each year. I don't need the Payroll feature that is forced on me and features have been removed that I do need.
Soooo, I find Billed on AppSumo. It looks like it might be just what I need. I haven't spent a lot of time with it yet other than going through the basic setup. That was very quick and easy to do, and invoicing with recurring invoicing is a feature I need. The UI seems to be pretty straight forward and well thought out. I look to seeing the reports once the invoices are entered. That will be important.
I haven't reached out to their support yet to see if I can import my QB data as that would save me a great deal of time setting this up. I also haven't tried connecting either PayPal or Stripe yet. I have seen complaints about that here and hope Billed has improved that feature.
I do all my work on my computer in my office and as such, don't concern myself with the mobile app side of things. So I cannot comment on any app features. But who knows, if that works well, I might be able to leave my office someday if the app allows me to do that.
I will report back once I actually begin trying to send invoices. I hope this will be the answer to my QB problems. No matter what, I will not be refunding this as it was worth the money just to see what I might be able to do with it.
