Clientary

Clientary targets service firms that need robust invoicing, time tracking, and project management tied together. The Basic plan ($19/month) includes CRM, invoicing, time tracking, proposals, contracts, and a branded client portal. What sets Clientary apart is its invoicing engine—users frequently praise the speed of creating professional invoices and its integration with QuickBooks for accounting handoff.\n\nUnlike platforms that treat invoicing as secondary, Clientary makes billing central to the workflow. This appeals to consultants and agencies that bill hourly or by milestone. It's less feature-rich than Plutio but more focused on the finance side, making it ideal for freelancers who want to keep invoicing organized.
