FreshBooks is aimed at freelancers and service businesses that bill clients, so it fits a reseller less naturally than a seller who invoices wholesale buyers or resells on commission. The limit that matters is the client count: Lite allows invoices to 5 billable clients, Plus to 50, and only Premium is unlimited. A seller whose customers are marketplace buyers does not invoice them and would not use that part. The cheap introductory offers last one year on Lite and three months on the higher plans, after which the standard monthly prices apply, so compare those. Resale IQ does not give accounting or tax advice; ask a qualified adviser how your resale income is treated where you live.
Who it is for, and who it is not for
Good fit: A reseller who invoices a small number of business buyers, a consignor or a wholesale client, and wants expense tracking, reports and card payments in one tool.
Poor fit: A seller whose buyers are marketplace customers and who needs sales imported, and anyone outside North America who needs local tax filing.
