FreshBooks Mileage Tracking Is Inaccurate and Not Available on Web

FreshBooks mileage and kilometer tracking is unreliable and only accessible via mobile app, preventing users who work primarily on desktop from logging travel expenses. This creates a manual workaround burden for businesses that need to track vehicle use for tax or billing purposes. The feature gap is especially problematic in regions where kilometer-based billing is standard.

FreshBooks Contact Search Requires Near-Exact Name Match

FreshBooks' search feature fails to return results unless users type client or business names with near-exact spelling, making it difficult to locate contacts quickly. This is a usability gap that slows down billing workflows, especially for freelancers and small businesses managing large client rosters.
