Built for photographers, designers and self-employed service businesses. Clients, proposals, contracts and invoices — free for up to 5 clients. Add bookings, a calendar and client galleries the day a job actually calls for them.
Beta offer: the Freelancer plan free for 6 months, then half price for life. Limited places. Sign up free, then reply to your welcome email to claim one.
If your work goes quote → agreement → job → invoice, Freelance Ops fits. These are the people it's shaped around.
Quote the shoot, get the contract signed, book the date, deliver through a protected gallery and get paid — all from one link your client never has to log in to.
How it works for photographers →Send scoped proposals and see when they're opened, get the brief signed off, show finished work in a branded gallery and invoice the moment it's approved.
How it works for designers →Hair & makeup artists, tutors, coaches and personal trainers: take booking requests, confirm them on a calendar, send simple terms and invoice deposits that clients pay by card.
Freelance Ops mirrors the order work actually happens in. The first three stops are free from client one — book, deliver and forecast unlock on the Freelancer plan.
Add by hand or import your contact list from an existing CRM.
Send a scoped proposal to a secure link — they review it without signing up.
Once accepted, the contract carries over the agreed products and prices, gets its own number, and is signed the same way, on the same link.
Schedule the work on a calendar, track deliverables, hand off galleries when it's done.
Bill from the job, get paid by Stripe, or import invoices you raised elsewhere.
See what's overdue, who your best client is, whether you're on budget, and where next month is heading.
The core loop — clients, proposals, contracts, invoices, payments — is free. What unlocks on the Freelancer plan is the volume cap and the parts of the job that show up once you're busy: bookings, a calendar, galleries and a product catalogue.
Free up to 5 clients. Import your book in bulk from a CRM once you outgrow that.
Scope, price and send from one builder — free on every plan. Track opens and acceptance.
Professional, numbered contracts on your own letterhead: the products and prices being agreed, clause-numbered terms and a signature block for both sides, as a PDF and a secure sign-off link — free on every plan. Start from a ready-made template or your own, and once it's signed, one click turns it into a ready-to-send invoice. No printer, no chasing, no retyping.
Free up to 10 invoices a month. Numbered for you (INV-0001, INV-0002…), then send a Stripe payment link and watch it reconcile itself.
Already invoicing through Zoho, Xero, QuickBooks or Square? Bring that history with you.
Take booking requests, confirm on a calendar you actually check.
Deliver finished work through a protected gallery link, branded as yours. Clients open any photo full-screen, pick their favourites and drag them into order — and can add extra photos beyond their package at a price you set.
Show your products with photos and prices on one shareable, branded link.
Monthly totals, overdue percentage, top client, and a plain forecast of what's coming.
Log what you spend, sort it into categories and keep the receipt with it — free on every plan.
Software, phone, insurance: set them once and they log themselves every month, quarter or year.
A monthly budget per category, an income target, and what's actually left after expenses, by month or tax year.
One search box (Ctrl K) finds any client, invoice or contract, and one New button starts whatever's next — free on every plan.
Every plan gets the full client → proposal → contract → invoice loop. The Freelancer plan removes the caps and adds the parts of the job that show up once you're consistently busy.
Upgrade or cancel from your billing page any time — cancel and you keep access until the period you paid for ends.
Proposals, contracts, invoices, bookings, galleries and your catalogue all open on a secure, tokenized page carrying your own branding — not ours. They read it, sign it, browse it or pay it, and that's the whole interaction. Free plan or paid, this is the same for every client.
If you quote for work, agree terms, do the job and then get paid, yes. It's shaped around photographers and videographers, designers and marketers, and self-employed people who take bookings — hair and makeup artists, tutors, coaches and trainers. Plenty of other trades use it too; start on the free plan and see.
Yes. Prices and invoices are in pounds, budgets and profit can be viewed by UK tax year (6 April to 5 April), and card payments run through Stripe.
Free caps you at 5 clients and 10 invoices a month, and leaves out bookings, calendar, galleries and the product catalogue. Everything else — proposals, contracts, invoicing, Stripe payments, expense tracking, the client portal — works the same on both. Freelancer (£30/month) removes the caps and adds bookings, calendar, galleries, the product catalogue, invoice import, financial insights, category budgets and an income target.
No. Create an account and you're on the free plan immediately — no card, no trial countdown. You only enter payment details when you choose to upgrade.
Yes, on both plans, in your phone's browser — nothing to install. A bar along the bottom of the screen gives you one-tap shortcuts to the four areas you use most (dashboard, clients, invoices and calendar to start with). Pick your own four, or turn the bar off, whenever you like.
Minutes. A getting-started checklist on your dashboard walks you through it in the order a job runs — business details, first client, a product or service, proposal, contract, invoice and, if you want them, card payments. Each step ticks itself off as you do it, and you can hide the list whenever you like.
You'll see it coming on your billing page (a running count of clients and invoices used) and get a clear message the moment you'd go over — nothing is deleted or locked retroactively. Upgrade whenever you're ready and the caps lift immediately.
Yes, any time from your billing page. You keep full access through the period you already paid for, then drop back to the free plan — your data stays exactly as it was.
Yes: give a month, get a month. Anyone who signs up with your invite link (on your billing page) gets the Freelancer plan free for their first month. Once they send their first proposal, contract or invoice, you get a free month too, up to 12 a year. If you're paying, it moves your next payment back a month.
No. Every proposal, contract, invoice, gallery and booking page is a secure tokenized link, on both plans. They open it, act on it, and that's the entire experience on their end.
Yes, on the Freelancer plan. Connect Zoho Invoice, Xero, QuickBooks Online or Square Invoices with your own API credentials, or upload a CSV/Excel export instead.
Stripe, on both plans. Your client pays through Stripe Checkout, Freelance Ops never stores or sees card details — we just reconcile the payment against the invoice automatically.
Start free, add your first client, and send a proposal before the coffee's cold.
