Everything you need to run your business
Nine tools in one tab. Each one designed for how independent professionals actually work.
Smart Flows
One link. Proposal → Contract → Payment. Your client clicks, reviews, signs, and pays in a single step-by-step flow — no account needed, no confusion, no chasing. The most professional onboarding experience you can give a new client.
AI Proposal Generator
Paste a brief → polished, scope-specific proposal in under 30 seconds. Send as a shareable link. Know the moment your client reads it.
Smart Contracts & E-Sign
AI-generated contracts from your proposal. Built-in e-signature with IP audit trail. No DocuSign subscription required.
Automated Invoicing
Auto-build invoices from tracked time. Send in one click. Clients pay via UPI, cards, or netbanking in under 2 minutes.
Cashflow Forecasting
A 90-day revenue projection that aggregates active projects, pending invoices, and payment history. Know what's coming before your bank does.
Time Tracking + AI Insights
Stopwatch, manual entry, and auto-import from Google Calendar and Zoom. One click converts tracked hours into a billable invoice.
Client Portal
A branded, passwordless portal where your clients view proposals, sign contracts, and pay invoices — all without creating an account.
Rate Optimization
The AI flags undercharging patterns, idle high-value clients, and the right moment to raise your rate — before you leave money on the table.
AI Inbox
One-click drafts for payment chasers, scope-creep alerts, and rate increase letters — written in your voice. You review, then send.

What freelancers are saying
Early access feedback from Indian freelancers across design, development, and consulting.
“I sent my first AI proposal in 4 minutes on day one. The client signed the contract that same evening. I've never moved this fast on a new project.”
Riya Sharma
UX Designer · Bengaluru
“The 90-day cashflow forecast alone is worth the subscription. I finally stopped lying awake wondering if I could cover next month's expenses.”
Arjun Mehta
Full-Stack Developer · Hyderabad
“I replaced Notion, FreshBooks, and Toggl with one tab. I save roughly 8 hours a month just on invoicing. That's a full working day back every month.”

Why Indian freelancers choose LanceIO
Every alternative is built for US freelancers. LanceIO is the only tool where you can onboard, generate a proposal, and get paid via UPI — without touching a single dollar.
Every alternative costs more in rupees than LanceIO Pro — and none of them support UPI.

Even Indian tools aren't built for freelancers
Zoho Books and Vyapar are excellent — for shop owners, traders, and accountants. But if you're a freelancer or consultant, you don't need GST inventory management. You need AI proposals, e-sign contracts, and a client who pays via UPI without logging into anything. That's what LanceIO is built for.

| Inventory management |
No Indian alternative exists for freelancer workflow management. The closest options are either job marketplaces (Truelancer, Internshala) that take 8–10% of every project, or accounting software (Zoho Books, Vyapar) built for shop owners — not for consultants managing client proposals, contracts, and payments.
Frequently asked
How good is the AI proposal quality, really?
We use Gemini 2.5 Pro with prompts written by a senior copywriter and business strategist. The output is consultancy-grade — structured, specific, and personalised to your brief. Not generic filler; every section is purpose-built to convert.
What is a Smart Flow?
A Smart Flow bundles your proposal, contract, and deposit invoice into a single shareable link. Your client clicks one link and completes the entire onboarding — reviewing the proposal, signing the contract, and paying the deposit — without switching between emails or tools.
How are client payments processed?
Clients pay invoices via a secure Razorpay checkout — UPI, credit/debit cards, netbanking, or direct transfer. Funds settle directly to your registered bank account.
Is my data secure?
All data is stored in Supabase with row-level security — only you can ever access your records. We never train AI models on your content. Full data export is available in Settings.
Can I cancel any time?
Absolutely. No annual contracts, no cancellation fees. Cancel from Settings in 30 seconds. Your data is available to export before you go.
Can I add my team to Lanceio?
Yes, on the Studio plan. You can invite up to 3 team members — designers, developers, or project managers — to share your workspace. Each member gets role-based access: contractors can log time and view projects, admins can manage proposals and invoices, and only the owner sees financial dashboards and billing.
What's the difference between Pro and Studio?
Pro is everything a solo freelancer needs. Studio is for boutique agencies running a small team — your collaborators share the same clients, projects, and invoice drafts under one workspace, with granular permissions so contractors only see what they need to.
Need more than 3 seats?
Contact us at marc@lanceio.com — we offer custom plans for larger teams.
