Fiverr

Perfect for freelancers and small businesses

Kommentare: I used to use Harvest. I've now switched completely to AND CO and haven't looked back. It's perfect for me as a one-man operation in a service-based business.

Vorteile:

It has the full functionality of most invoicing and time tracking software on the market today, but it's completely free. AND CO Integrates well with most things and is clean and fast. The free mobile app works really well and support has always been quick and helpful when I've needed it. Getting updates when clients view and pay invoices is great and their direct payment integration with Stripe has been so helpful. Multiple tax zones and the ability to create quick invoices on the fly means less time fiddling around with invoicing.

Nachteile:

Some features are unintuitive and annoying. Here are four examples. 1) My proposal software takes a 50% deposit payment upon acceptance of my proposal. I then manually create the project in AND CO and create the 50% deposit invoice so I can mark it as paid. I can't just create the invoice and then say it's been received, I have to first save a draft, go to another section of the app to mark it as sent, then go into the invoice again to receive it. Seems ridiculous to have to do that. 2) When tracking time, in order to mark that time as invoiced, I have to go through two screens rather than being able to just click a checkbox from the time tracking screen. This wasn't always the case, but something they changed last month. I hope they switch it back. 3) The invoices can't be customised as much as I'd like. Small, but annoying. 4) Invoices that are overdue aren't automatically sent a payment reminder email. You have to do this manually.

Complete project management software for freelancers

Kommentare: With AndCo I track and invoice my clients to manage my business better. While it has plenty of features and lots of promise, it's not quite up there with more established project management software with a smoother UX and a more complete mobile app.

Vorteile:

AndCo is the ultimate all-in-one project management software. For a self-employed writer like myself, I use it for basically everything to run my business. Aside from the expected time tracking and invoicing, you can also send proposals, contracts, keep track of income and expenses, and even create a subscription for clients who pay on a regular basis (for auto invoicing). There is also a "shoebox" where you can upload files for safekeeping. The proposals and contracts part is definitely their strong point. They make it simple to understand and give you yes/no toggles to tailor it to your client. If you pay premium, you can edit the contract a bit more. The support team is also very helpful. There's always someone on the chat to help you out and they take your feedback very seriously. Sometimes you can just chat with them about this and that. Extremely friendly team.

Nachteile:

The UX still needs work. - On the income/expenses page, the date range could be a lot more usable. I would suggest they take a look at the date range widget used on Upwork. That one is incredibly easy to use and to switch dates without having to manually click back and forth every time. - Another problem on that page is the filtering doesn't stick. For example, if I filter by project from Jan to Dec then click on one of the results, there is no back button that will take me back to the filtered results. I have to manually re-apply the filters to see them again. Filters shouldn't be cleared unless the user clicks "Clear filters". - The "Notes" section in each project page was one of my suggestions to the team, but they simply added a text field with no formatting options or even the ability to save different notes. It's just one plain text field that you can't even resize to take advantage of the entire lower half of the page which is blank. - Hyperlinks don't work anywhere. This is a particular peeve for me as a writer who pastes lots of links into tasks and notes for reference. Turning them into clickable links would be a winner. If these issues were addressed, I'd happily upgrade to premium. But right now the app has lots of features that are low on quality, so the higher-than-average monthly fee isn't really worth it.

Ok services for non-critical projects

Kommentare: For some less important projects, Fiverr can be an ok option. There are probably better options available for most projects though.

Vorteile:

Fiverr freelancers can be ok for non-critical work at a low cost. Sometimes it is necessary to hire multiple freelancers on the platform to find one that produces acceptable quality work.

Nachteile:

There customer service is essentially nonexistent. There also appears to be very little monitoring of Fiverr with regards to the quality of freelancers on the platform.

Popular way for freelancers

Kommentare: I have used Fiverr to find freelancers who can work on specific tasks related to projects in my field. Additionally, it offers incredible proposals and fair prices for each specific task.

Vorteile:

I really enjoy using Fiverr because it is a completely reliable and secure platform. It also provides opportunities to find excellent, highly skilled freelancers. It has been more useful for large projects rather than small tasks.

Nachteile:

The only thing I don't like is the amount of competition it brings.

Best helping hand for all sorts of tasks

Kommentare: Overall, i liked fiverr. I have been using it for 4 yrs now. It is like helping hand to me for any sort of works / tasks.

Vorteile:

It is transparent, affordable and very useful for all sort of tasks.

Nachteile:

Some reviews are fake. Need to verify if the reviews are genuine for all sellers.

Great marketplace for niche and specialist services

Kommentare: It's a great platform and I've had some really good services provided through the site.

Vorteile:

Fiverr is a great way to connect with cost effective services

Nachteile:

There are a multitude of providers on Fiverr so the choices are sometimes overwhelming

Fiverr is Great. Use it

Kommentare: Overall, this has helped me grow and I will continue using it over and over again.

Vorteile:

I've been using Fiverr for years. It has helped me grow my business tremendously.

Nachteile:

I wish that Fiverr was $5 again. That would be amazing.

Projects created in a snap

Vorteile:

Fiverr is a simple way to hire individuals for so many jobs, from design work to editing, and way beyond.

Nachteile:

I did not have any issues using Fiverr and would use it again.

Great results

Kommentare: Very good overall, have had great results

Vorteile:

The ability to pick the right fit for the business, and being able to leave proper reviews

Nachteile:

I feel like people with almost no reviews are not able to get any, due to customers picking the people with the most. Even though it doesn’t mean their quality of work is bad

Fiverr Honest Review

Kommentare: From proposal to payment, smart, frictionless freelancer tools help you create, run, and expand your business. Concentrate on what you love to do!

Vorteile:

The nicest part about Fiverr is that clients come to you rather than you having to bid on jobs.

Nachteile:

Their review procedure is somewhat deficient and largely in the purchasers' favor.

Great Software for Freelancers

Kommentare: It has really helped us see the whole picture from starting with a client through to the final invoice and then being able to track our income and expenses. Other than being a full on CRM (which I am not asking for) it really does have everything we use in one place. That is really the best part. I got this program before the "Pro" feature where there was everything available and no restriction to number of active clients, so it was a little rough to adjust to the suddenly this program that you have been using and getting used to is now going to cost you money. But it has been worth the money that we have spent, so not really a problem, just a (very) minor inconvenience.

Vorteile:

It has so many features in one place. Proposals and contracts along with invoicing and accounting features to be able to take a project from start to finish with a client.

Nachteile:

Switching between lists to keep different clients/projects organized can sometimes get tricky, but that may just be me losing track of which list I am in.

Let the Customers Find You

Kommentare: Fiverr Workspace has streamlined my project management process, and its integration with Fiverr's freelance marketplace is a huge advantage.

Vorteile:

Fiverr Workspace has completely transformed the way I work with freelancers. The platform is incredibly user-friendly and intuitive, and I love how easy it is to communicate with my team members. The ability to organize projects and assign tasks all in one place has been a game changer for my productivity. Plus, the integration with Fiverr's pool of talented freelancers makes it easy to find and hire the right person for the job.

Nachteile:

The reporting functionality could be improved. And I've experienced some occasional lag when using the platform.

Supporting the Freelance Community

Kommentare: As a brand and web designer, the built in proposal and contract feature is great, and really streamlines the process and gives me a very professional image. Seeing a graph of my income and expenses lets me know where I need to work harder or reflect on trends throughout the year and clients appreciate the easy online payment system. I'm so passionate about the freelancer community as we all seem to support one another from a variety of levels and experience. AndCo helps bring all of that together and strive for a better industry :)

Vorteile:

I love that it's free and supports multiple countries. Freelancers all over the world can run an efficient business with low overheads.

Nachteile:

There are some missing features that would be super useful, but I understand this is a free platform and different types of freelancers/industries may not need these features. One major one that I think would benefit everyone: Choose options when quoting. For example, I can present my clients with a few options for quantities of business cards (typically 250, 500 and 1000). Currently, its a bit of a pain quoting them the minimum, then they come back and ask for a bigger quantity, realise they can't afford that and go back to the original quantity. Its a lot of back and forth and time wasted on my part. If they could select an option and "build their own quote", this would be extremely beneficial. It also gives freelancers the opporunity to offer upselling. Example - quote a logo design, and then have additional options (add business cards for $xx.x, add a website for $xxxx.xx). This has worked so well for me in the past on a previous platform.

Fiverr workplace for building future

Kommentare: When it comes to the overall picture, his platform provides good quality service for both buyers and sellers and one of a reliable platform to work.

Vorteile:

I have been using fiverr since my university period as a freelancer (seller). The most important feature which I see in this workplace is its security and quality of service. It provides best security to the buyers for their money and best security to the seller for their products. When it comes to the quality of service, fiverr enables various courses to improve the capacity of the sellers and it provides different categories and badges to the sellers to market their capabilities.

Nachteile:

When it comes to project browsing, I feel like some feature is missing in this platform. It would be better if the seller has the access to the recent projects and make bids for them. When I started working in fiverr, there was a feature caller "Buyer request" under that buyers can browse their projects and sellers enables to provide offers for them. But with the recent updates, above feature has removed from the product.

Effortlessly Collaborate and Manage Your Projects with Fiverr Workspace

Kommentare: As a music business owner, I have found Fiverr Workspace to be an invaluable tool for managing my projects and collaborating with my team. The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it simple for anyone to use.

I have set up different workspaces for different projects and it helps me to stay organized.Overall, I have been extremely satisfied with my experience using Fiverr Workspace for my music business.

And.Co just keeps improving

Kommentare: Support is top-notch and responsive. I genuinely feel that they are interested in what makes the freelancer user experience better.

Vorteile:

I started out with And.Co quite a while ago as one of the tools in my toolbox, but I never really used it that much as it just didn't have features that I felt was necessary for a freelancer. Well, fast-forward to today and And.co just keeps getting better and better. They are very active in developing new features and listening to suggestions. I always feel welcome with my ideas and feel that they take an honest look at them. I'm now genuinely interested in moving to And.co for my freelance dashboard.

Nachteile:

At some point it may be nice to have a native Win10 app to compliment the app they have for Android (might be a better experience than running in a browser.) I would also like to see more emphasis put on the time-tracking (although they have made some great improvements in the last several months.

A Handy Alternative to Quickbooks

Kommentare: Their customer support is great. Best I have ever received. I hate that they switched to a paid structure and that now its more expensive than the quickbooks I used to have.

Vorteile:

I found out about AndCo when they got bought by Fiver and I tried it out and eventually switched from quickbooks. For starters it was free and basically did everything I needed. I ended up saving money by switching as well obtaining a few handy new features such as the ability to track when my clients open the invoices.

Nachteile:

I wish the they had a section where you could track outstanding invoices from a client. What I liked about quickbooks was that when I sent an invoice it would show pending balance and update the total on the new invoice so that it reflected the old balance as well. It would essentially show balanced brought over.

Full-Service Invoicing & Business Management, Steal for the Price

Kommentare: I've been using AND CO for the past year and it's simplified the accounting side of my business significantly. I first started using AND CO because it was a free alternative to FreshBooks (they've since switched to a fremium model at a reasonable price). The variety of functions that it serves makes it well worth the monthly expense however I will be paying more attention to their quality now that I'm paying for it.

Vorteile:

I primarily use the excellent invoicing and proposal system and appreciate the integrated online payments. Recurring subscriptions are also very useful as is time tracking even though I don't use them much. Expense tracking also integrates with my bank accounts and cards which makes expense tagging very easy.

Nachteile:

The proposals and contracts could have different aesthetic templates to make them a bit easier to read for customers. I'd also love if they added mileage tracking because then I could centralize my entire expense tracking.

I Like "And Co" and Here's Why

Kommentare: My search for a minimal online tool to consolidate the endless tasks of proposals, invoicing, payments and tracking has spanned a couple of years. I was introduced to And Co in a group discussion and decided to give it a go. I expected a free trial, and got that... plus more. It's totally FREE! I now handle all tasks within And Co and in-turn my operations have become more efficient and organized, the 3rd party integrations are sweet bonus to my income/expense tracking and tax prep.

Vorteile:

The clean, uncluttered dashboard which is fast loading and easy to use. The professional invoices and payment pages. The dedicated support team who are actually, dedicated and committed to supporting members and addressing issues. Lastly, the total FREE-ness of it all (Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know... there's no such thing as a free lunch... thanks Dad)

Nachteile:

At times a bit buggy as they add features and work out the kinks, but what tool isn't. If an issue just really hinders your progress, contact support... it's that simple.

solopreneur/freelancer's dream come true

Kommentare: I manage my own marketing business. I do copy, strategy, and full on web design projects and that means I have a lot of different types of clients, rates, project fees, expenses and hours to keep track of. I use AND CO to protect myself as a freelancer, to keep my billing simple, and to keep track of all the quotes I've put out there! It's a dream.

Vorteile:

Goodness. I love AND CO. I love that I can manage the administrative headache of projects from proposal to contract to invoicing so easily and seamlessly. Details I love - my income front and center (motivates me to keep making more), client related content in one place (all proposals, contracts, work products, tasks, notes, billing, time tracking and expenses), and the ease of creating, sharing and signing contracts that MAKE SENSE. First contracts off the shelf I've come across that are in plain English and protect both parties well.

Nachteile:

The app doesn't always work as well as I'd like, web based features are always better! But this is such a minor problem.

By far the best invoicing app for small businesses and freelancers

Kommentare: I plan on using AND CO until we outgrow it. It's the easiest to use and most elegant solution for invoicing, proposals, expensive and time tracking that I've tried.

Vorteile:

Despite my headline, this is more than an invoicing app: It's a central desk to keep track of projects, expenses, time spent, and more. It's a beautiful designed and easy to figure out as soon as you look at the options. I've already sent out several proposals, which are a snap to create and they look nice, invoiced several clients and gotten paid (ka ching) and set up a subscription. See below. There's a Chrome extension for time tracking, which is very nice and convenient. Unique to AND CO, I believe, you can set up recurring payments and/or subscriptions. This is idea for a small company like mine that sells WordPress sitecare contracts that come in via word of mouth or random e-mails rather than through the shop onsite. All of the above, and more, is free.

Nachteile:

There's no obvious way to add payment processing. You have to set it up at the moment you send an invoice or set up a subscription. There's no visible setting in the leftside navigation to change or set up payment processing. Kinda weird but maybe they felt it was easier for onboarding? Proposal could and should be more detailed than the template provided by AND CO. Their template is more like a brief than anything detailed. You can annotate but that's about it. I wish there were a way to add users.

Despite being a new user, I'm happy!

Kommentare: My experience has been positive. I am happy I switched over and have intentions of staying put!

Vorteile:

That it is free is what I appreciate most. I've been using it for more than a year, and it's incredibly tidy, responsive on mobile devices, and linked with payments. I freelance on many projects. All of my projects, expenses, and deadlines are managed. The fact that they keep introducing new features makes the program better and closer to my ideal state than anything else, in my opinion.

Nachteile:

Nothing has been observed thus far. There were a couple issues I had to contact customer service about, but they responded quickly and were extremely helpful. The only thing I might recommend is adding the ability to automatically round up tickets to the next quarter-hour mark.

Finest Freelancing Platform

Kommentare: I am working as a freelancer since I was an undergraduate. I am using Fiverr Workplace for six years now and I have identified this as one of the best platforms in the industry for freelancers. Apart from my job I am working as a freelancer once I got out of the university.

Vorteile:

This platform improved the professionalism of me as a freelancer since it gets me feedback from clients while doing the project. it improves transparency and understanding to the clients since they can see my progress of work and see if their vision is full filled. And also it helps to manage and timely deliver projects to the clients.

Nachteile:

Still I have not seen any negatives to express regarding this platform

Perfect for Freelancers

Kommentare: Invoicing
Client Management
Project Management
Accounting
Tax Considerations
Contracts
Proposals
All Taken Care of!

Vorteile:

When I originally started my Freelancing journey, I didn't know where to begin in terms of managing my clients, projects, finances and invoicing. When I found And Co, I couldn't quite believe that something so comprehensively built for Freelancers existed! I love how I can link it to all sorts of other apps. The customer service is top class, it has every feature I could ever want and the price is very fair for something that allows me to run my business from anywhere in the world! Five Stars.

Nachteile:

Nothing at all. The only issue was I originally thought it was free forever at first, but they eventually had to monetize such a good product.
