Why is the way of creating estimates different with the paid subscription verse free trial. Not as efficient or detailed.

It's my pleasure to answer your first post, @taylorshmservice. 

Recently, QuickBooks gives our estimates and invoices a makeover. It could be that during your free trial, it wasn't updated yet. Hence, the experience is different with your paid subscription. 

I appreciate your observation about the changes. Please know that at this time, some attributes are unavailable in the new estimates and invoices, but we’re working to get them ready.

Here are some of the features to be added in the future:

• Progress invoicing
• Custom fields
• Recurring invoices
• Ability to save multiple templates
• Classes
• Billable expenses
• Tags

Feel free to post again if you have additional concerns. I'm always around to help you more.
