Freelancers that need all their freelance billing tools in one app
About Clearmargin
Freelancers and small teams don't have a billing problem — they have a juggling problem. One app for proposals, another for time tracking, a spreadsheet for expenses, a third tool for invoices, and maybe QuickBooks because someone said they should. Things slip through the cracks. An invoice goes out late. Hours don't get logged. A cost gets eaten because nobody tracked it. The mental overhead of keeping it all straight is exhausting.
Clearmargin puts proposals, time tracking, expenses, invoicing, and payments in one place. Build professional proposals with scope, timeline, and pricing. Track time with a quick-entry strip or running timer. Log expenses and assign them to projects — or split shared costs like software subscriptions across multiple clients automatically. When it's time to bill, generate invoices from project data in one click. Accept credit card and ACH payments directly through your invoices via Stripe Connect at standard processing rates.
