One price, no client limits
A plan priced by how many clients you bill makes growth feel like a penalty. Ekue has one plan. Bill as many customers as you have.
Money out matters as much as money in
Most of the deductions on a Schedule C come from what you spend, not what you earn. Ekue treats bills, expenses and receipts as first-class records: enter a bill with its PDF, pay several bills in one payment, attach a receipt to an expense, and see everything you owe by due date.
When FreshBooks is the better choice
If you bill by the hour and want time tracking built in, FreshBooks does that and Ekue doesn't.
