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

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.

Audience

Solo consultants, freelancers, and small agency studios in design, marketing, and consulting that bill hourly or on retainer, have outgrown single-purpose freelancer tools, and find enterprise PSA platforms overkill.

Audience

Sole traders and one-person trade businesses: plumbers, electricians, painters and decorators, landscapers, handymen, cleaners, carpenters and tilers. Industries: construction, home services, field service, cleaning, landscaping.

Pricing

$19/month
Optivation uses flat pricing — no per-seat cost for solo operators.

Forms Free — $0
Client intake and lead-capture forms. Up to 3 active forms and 50 submissions per month, viewed in-app and exported to CSV. Docs and community support.

Solo — $19/month ($190/year, two months free)
Everything needed to run client work from first task to paid invoice: Inbox, Pages, Databases, Contacts, time tracking, branded invoicing, Forms and Dashboards, AI Advisor and Assistant, full API and MCP access, and Gmail/Outlook integration. One seat, 1M AI tokens per month. Email support.

Studio — $49/month ($490/year, two months free)
Everything in Solo, plus team roles and permissions, real-time co-editing, team chat, access groups, a 7-year compliance-grade audit log, and 5M AI tokens shared across seats. Up to 3 seats included; additional seats are $19/seat per month. Priority email support.

Pricing

£12.00/month
Two plans, both in GBP.

Free, £0 a month: 10 quotes, 10 invoices and 10 emailed PDFs a month,
plus 3 one-tap client accept-links. Unlimited clients and jobs, and your
own logo on every PDF. No card required.

Pro, £12 a month: unlimited quotes, invoices, emails and accept-links.
Overdue Autopilot chases unpaid invoices for you at 7, 14 and 21 days
and stops the moment you are paid. Pay-now links on invoices, premium
PDF styles, your brand colour, and no SoloDesks credit line on your
paperwork.

The £12 is flat rather than per user, because SoloDesks is built for one
person working alone. Billed monthly, cancel anytime, and nothing is
deleted if you downgrade.
