FreelanceTools — predictable time & invoicing

A predictable-priced time tracking and invoicing tool for freelancers and small teams burned by post-acquisition price hikes.

Problem

Freelancers and small teams relying on time-and-invoicing tools have seen renewal prices explode after acquisitions, with one user's bill jumping from $12/month to about $180/month, while usage-based pricing makes monthly cost hard to predict. What they want is a simple per-seat alternative.

Solution

A lightweight time tracking and invoicing SaaS with a flat per-seat fee, no hidden usage charges, invoice generation for freelancers and small teams, project time logs, and report exports. It offers one-click import from popular incumbents to cut migration friction.

Users

Independent freelancers and 2–10 person studios or consulting teams

MVP

Flat per-seat pricing plus a free solo plan; timer and manual time entry; generate and send invoices by project/client; basic reports and exports; import clients and projects from major incumbents.

Revenue

$4–6 per seat per month, with annual discount and small-team bundle; no usage-based billing.

Why now

Incumbents keep raising prices and shifting to usage pricing after acquisitions, so demand for predictable cost is strong; the feature surface is well understood, letting an indie dev ship an MVP in weeks.
