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
Worksection is an all-in-one project management and collaboration platform that replaces five separate tools — a task manager, planner, time tracker, work chat, and file storage — with one system on a single per-user price.
Built since 2008 for teams of 5 to 50+ people — marketing agencies, IT, consulting, manufacturing, construction and professional services — and especially for teams that bill clients by the hour.
Plan and run work your way: tasks and multi-level subtasks, Gantt charts, Kanban boards, a shared calendar and clear statuses. Track time with a built-in timer and hourly rates, compare planned vs. actual cost, and turn it into client-ready reports. Discussions live inside each task, files are stored next to the work they belong to, and dashboards give managers the full picture at a glance.
Unlike tools that sell time tracking and client billing as paid add-ons, both are built into Worksection. It is free for teams up to 5 users, GDPR and ISO 27001 certified, and available in 11 languages. No setup project, no consultants — sign up, invite your team, and start working.
