All-in-one freelancer business platform with contracts, invoicing, time tracking, expense management, and a CRM, with an MCP server for AI agent integration.
3.2 /5 composite score
The best contract-to-invoice-to-expense bundle for a sole-prop A/E: Essentials ($25/mo) covers contracts with e-signatures, time-tracked invoicing, expense logging, and a client portal in one plan; the MCP server (beta) gives it the most credible agent-automation story of any tool in this category.
