About
Optivation is one workspace for the five jobs agencies run every week: forms, databases, pages, time tracking and invoicing. The whole client lifecycle runs in one system on shared data, not across five separate tools.
A client intake form writes straight into your database as a record. Every record opens into a full page with notes, files, sub-tasks and a built-in timer. The hours you log there become the line items on an invoice, generated from that same record.
It's built for solo consultants and small studios billing hourly or on retainer. You can start on the free plan. Solo is $19 a month. Studio is $49 a month for up to 3 seats, then $19 for each extra seat. Paid plans come with a 30-day free trial.

About
Ruam is automatic time-tracking software for freelancers and remote teams. Its desktop app and browser extension record work time without requiring people to start timers or complete timesheets. Users can review their own activity, organize hours by project, client, and shift, and choose whether to share site and page-title details; managers receive time, attendance, break, project, and client reports without seeing page titles. Ruam does not take screenshots or record keystrokes. Team features include shift scheduling across time zones, time-off management, approvals for manual entries and timesheets, project budgets, and reporting. Business plans add client rates, margins, and client reports. The service is available through a web clock and apps for Mac and Windows. Pricing includes a one-person free plan and paid Solo and team plans.
