4.5/5
What do you like best about ZipBooks?

Firstly, I liked this so much as I'm from zero accounting background didn't find the problem to understand in just 5 min, this is so easy to understand and super UI. All I wanted to know if they can add an Export option in.XLSX and.PDF. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZipBooks?

I can't export file in XLSX or PDF, it's important to keep back at my own for future usage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I love this alternative to Quickbooks!"
5/5
What do you like best about ZipBooks?

The intuitiveness of the program allows for information to be entered by a novice like myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZipBooks?

Nothing. I think it's a wonderful alternative to having to purchase other programs that do the same thing. I don't need a lot of the functions of the more expensive packages. This is basic. That's what I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Small Business Necessity"
5/5
What do you like best about ZipBooks?

ZipBooks truly shows how effective a minimal design can be. Unlike Quickbooks, ZipBooks' dashboard is clean and clear showing only the information thats necessary on a daily basis. I love the ability to quickly track time and assign it to a client and the ease of developing an invoice or estimate. One of my favorite tools is ZipBooks' estimate tool. As a Web Designer, the ability to quickly create an informative and accurate invoice that not only looks good but works is priceless. I'm not the only one who loves using ZipBooks, my clients love it to. The streamlined invoice payments and estimate acceptance makes it easy for my clients to pay. On top of all this, its free - you honestly can't beat ZipBooks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZipBooks?

I don't dislike anything. My only dislike is pertaining to myself as I wish I would have found ZipBooks a long time ago. Rather than dislike I only have a few suggestions. While I know ZipBooks focuses on Small Businesses, I would love to see the ability to send partial payment invoices to make it easier to take down payments and deposits. Other than that, nothing.

"Zipbooks may be the app to really get me organized around my time tracking, estimates and invoicing."
4.5/5
What do you like best about ZipBooks?

I really like the very clean and open layout, and the fact that I can handle time tracking, estimates and invoicing all in one place. And of course, I do like very much that it is free.

I also like that it was easy to set up credit card payments with Stripe, and I have already received my first payment!

I also like that I can customize my invoices and only include the info I want the client to see, even though I am presented with all of the time entries initially.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZipBooks?

I find the Time Tracking piece a little confusing in that I have to keep clicking back on Time Tracking once I set up a new client and then I want to start tracking time right away. I have figured out that I need to click back on Time Tracking on the left to get to the different areas (Projects, Tasks).

I also am not crazy about the lack of help screens from within the app. However, I am in the middle of a chat with Brad about the Support category in their blog, and that is certainly a move in the right direction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Online Billing system I have been looking for!"
5/5
What do you like best about ZipBooks?

As an IT consultant I am always looking for better solutions for myself as well as the clients I consult for. ZipBooks meets my needs 100%. It is a simple to use fast to learn billing and time tracking system. I love how easy it is to create a great looking invoices, track expenses by customer and keep track of receivables. It's online so it's always there if a client wants an invoice straight away. Now there is an app for the iPhone it is even more convenient. This week I used the estimate feature which converted to an invoice as soon as the client approved it. Great stuff. I hope to be using ZipBooks for a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZipBooks?

There is not a lot to dislike about ZipBooks. Like all products there are things that can make it suite an individuals needs better. The one feature I miss right now but am finding a work around, is the lack of Invoice item templates that would replace me typing the same description and rate/price on every invoice instead of a pull-down item.

"A Beautiful, Intuitive, and Surprisingly Robust Accounting Platform"
5/5
What do you like best about ZipBooks?

I love the design of the interface and how it allows me to quickly make changes and additions. When an app creates delight, it's got a home run. This is the case for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZipBooks?

I don't dislike anything about ZipBooks. I only wish it had a couple more features like being able to have default saved text in the estimates and invoices. This is minor of course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent product, lightweight, just what is needed for small business"
5/5
What do you like best about ZipBooks?

There aren't a lot of free options out there for small business books management. Zipbooks fits perfectly and has just what I need without a bunch of extra cruft, and without $$$. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZipBooks?

I would like to be able to export books or have some sort of auto-cloud backup; something I could be sure that my data would be safe even if Zipbooks doesn't make it as a company in the long haul. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
