For freelancers
Know what your week is worth before you do the work.
Steady helps independent professionals plan billable capacity, protect retainers, convert planned work into time entries, and invoice with confidence.
The problem
Freelance income should not be discovered after the month ends.
Most freelance tools ask you to track what happened after the work is already done. That leaves your income, capacity, and client workload feeling unclear until it is too late to change the week.
- You commit to work without knowing what the week is worth.
- Retainers, fixed-fee work, and hourly projects live in separate mental buckets.
- Time entries are rebuilt from memory instead of planned from the start.
- Invoices happen later than they should because the record is scattered.
