About

Ascend is one workspace for the five workflows agencies run every week: forms, databases, pages, time tracking, and invoicing. Instead of stitching together Notion, Tally, Calendly, Toggl, and FreshBooks, you run the whole client lifecycle in one system that shares the same data. A client intake form writes straight into your database. Every record opens into a full page with notes, files, sub-tasks, and a built-in timer. Tracked hours flow into an invoice generated from the same record. No CSV exports, no copy-paste between apps. Built for solo consultants and small agency studios billing hourly or on retainer. Free tier to start, Solo at $19/month, Studio at $49/month, with no per-seat fees. A 30-day free trial is available on paid plans, no credit card required.
