Per-agent pricing gets expensive at scale

FreshBooks — Pros & Cons

Pros

Native mobile mileage tracking included on all plans — no third-party app required
Automated bank import syncs transactions daily, reducing manual data entry
Simple, polished UI reduces accounting friction for non-accountant agents
Fast professional invoicing for referral fees, staging vendors, and consulting work

Cons

No commission calculation or split management — brokerages must use a dedicated back-office tool alongside
No trust/escrow account management — fails a key requirement for full brokerage accounting
Lite plan caps invoiceable clients at 5 — growing teams must upgrade to Plus ($43/mo) or higher
No native integrations with dotloop, Skyslope, or RE-specific CRMs — Zapier required for automation
