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.

About

SoloDesks is job management for a business of one: quoting, invoicing and job scheduling for solo tradespeople. Plumbers, electricians, painters, landscapers and handymen. Built for one person working alone, not a firm with staff to manage. Build an itemised quote on your phone while you are still on the job, and send it as a branded PDF. Your client opens a private link and taps Accept. An accepted quote becomes an invoice in one tap: same lines, same prices, no retyping. When an invoice goes quiet, Overdue Autopilot emails your client a nudge at 7 days, a firmer one at 14 and a final notice at 21. It goes out under your business name, replies come to you, and it stops the moment you mark it paid. Every job sits on a calendar with the client's address, so you can plan a day's route. VAT and CIS are handled properly, in pounds. Free plan, no card: 10 quotes, 10 invoices and 10 emailed PDFs a month, unlimited clients and jobs. Pro is 12 GBP a month, flat, never per user.
