Five clients, one inbox.
A freelance developer at any given moment has three clients, one half-finished portfolio, two invoices in flight, and Linear logins for four orgs they barely remember the subdomains for. The work is fine. The structure is the problem. We built the workspace where each client gets its own surface — without the per-seat tax, without the enterprise pretense, without an admin panel for things you do alone at 2pm.
One workspace per client. Each with its own board, list, timeline, calendar. Each with magic-link guests so the client point-of-contact can drop in without a credit card. None of it priced per seat. None of it requiring you to learn a new vocabulary just to track a contract review.
The two templates that pay for themselves.
Kickoff doc, contract, payment terms, deposit invoice. The first two weeks of any engagement, sequenced.
1099s, expenses, S-corp 1120-S, Q1 estimated. The list that turns April from a cliff into a Tuesday afternoon.
Why this beats Notion-plus-Linear-plus-a-spreadsheet.
- Pro is one bill for unlimited workspaces.
Five clients, five workspaces, $4.99 a month total. Compare against Linear's per-seat math (which charges your client to invite you) or Notion's plan tiers (which gate things you actually need). Tasks charges the freelancer once and stops there.
- The client can come in as a guest.
Drop them a magic link. They open it. They can comment on a task. No Slack invite, no IT request, no onboarding call to learn a new tool. Three editing guests are free on every workspace.
- No per-seat tax, ever.
A workspace is a workspace, full stop. If a client wants their VP-of-engineering to look at the timeline, that's free. If your subcontractor needs to update a task, that's free. Charging you to invite people is one of the things on the no list.
- It looks like the work.
Board for momentum, list for triage, timeline for sequencing, calendar for delivery commitments. Same tasks, four lenses. No re-entering anything when the client wants the timeline and you want the board.
The honest math.
Two shapes work for a freelance practice. Pro at $4.99/mo gives one operator unlimited workspaces — fine until a client wants real-time presence, share-link analytics, or guest editing on their own surface. Studio at $14.95/mo is the step up: every workspace you own gets the full Team feature set, with the no-per-seat-tax rule still holding inside each one. Five clients on Pro is $4.99. Five clients on Studio is $14.95. Five clients on the Team tier (one workspace each) would be 5 × $9.95 = $49.75 — Studio is the right shape the moment you have more than two clients you care about.
The cost of forgetting one deductible lunch. One bill. One inbox. Five clients, full feature set on each.
