Description

Optivation brings the five jobs agencies run every week into one workspace: forms, databases, pages, time tracking and invoicing. You run the whole client lifecycle in one system, working from the same data at every step, not across five separate tools. When a client fills in your intake form, their answers land straight in your database as a record. Each record opens into a full page, where the notes, files and sub-tasks for that client sit alongside a built-in timer. The hours you log there go onto an invoice generated from that same record, so the work and the billing stay in one place from first contact to payment. The same records show up however you need them: a table for scanning, a board for tracking progress, a calendar for deadlines. Clients can book time with you through a booking page in the same workspace, and pages can be shared with a client when they need to see where things are at. AI Advisor opens against any record and draws out a summary and the action items, so a long brief turns into a list you can work from. Optivation is made for independent consultants and small agency studios who bill hourly or on retainer. You can start on the free plan and move up when you need to. Solo is $19 a month. Studio is $49 a month and covers up to 3 seats, with each extra seat at $19 a month. Paid plans include a 30-day free trial, so you can set up a real client and run it end to end before you decide.

Description

SoloDesks is a comprehensive job management solution designed specifically for solo tradespeople, such as plumbers, electricians, painters, landscapers, and handymen, allowing them to handle quoting, invoicing, and job scheduling without the complexity of managing a team. You can create detailed itemized quotes directly from your phone while still on-site, and send them as personalized PDFs to your clients. Once the client accepts the quote through a secure link, it seamlessly converts into an invoice with just one tap, maintaining the same details and pricing without any need for re-entering information. To help manage overdue payments, Overdue Autopilot sends automated reminders to clients at intervals of 7, 14, and 21 days, ensuring that the communication appears to come from your business, with replies directed to you, and stopping automatically once payment is confirmed. Each job is organized on a calendar that includes the client’s address, enabling efficient route planning, and all financial aspects like VAT and CIS are accurately managed in pounds. There’s a free plan available that includes 10 quotes, 10 invoices, and 10 emailed PDFs each month, with unlimited clients and jobs, while the Pro plan is affordably priced at 12 GBP per month without any per-user fees, making it an ideal choice for independent professionals. Overall, SoloDesks empowers individual tradespeople to streamline their business operations and improve their cash flow with minimal effort.

Pricing Details

£12.00/month
Two plans, both in GBP.

Free, £0 a month: 10 quotes, 10 invoices and 10 emailed PDFs a month,
plus 3 one-tap client accept-links. Unlimited clients and jobs, and your
own logo on every PDF. No card required.

Pro, £12 a month: unlimited quotes, invoices, emails and accept-links.
Overdue Autopilot chases unpaid invoices for you at 7, 14 and 21 days
and stops the moment you are paid. Pay-now links on invoices, premium
PDF styles, your brand colour, and no SoloDesks credit line on your
paperwork.

The £12 is flat rather than per user, because SoloDesks is built for one
person working alone. Billed monthly, cancel anytime, and nothing is
deleted if you downgrade.
