Key features
Core features that run your client work

Lead pipeline
Add leads manually, from your contact form, by referral or CSV import, and track them on a board by status.
Projects and milestones
Break each project into milestones and tasks with customizable status pipelines, so progress is always visible.
Proposals and contracts
Write proposals and contracts inside Freelancey. Clients accept and sign from a private link.

Onboarding, briefs, reviews and handovers open from tokenized links. Clients never need an account.
Notifications
Get push and email alerts when a client responds, approves a deliverable or sends a support request.
White-label branding
Use your logo, colors and custom domain so clients see your business, not a third party tool.
