Project management software for freelancers: projects, hours, clients
A freelancer is project manager, doer and bookkeeper at once. ProjectLead keeps everything in one place: projects and their stages, time spent, client emails, appointments and the monthly invoice.
Free for 3 ongoing projects, no credit card and no time limit.
Built for independent professionals too
ProjectLead serves small businesses, and people who work alone. The Free plan gives every feature for 3 ongoing projects and one person, with no time limit. When your assignments multiply, Pro opens unlimited projects, still for one person, at EUR 19 per month or EUR 190 per year, excluding tax.
You do not need a project management method: a project, a few dated stages and tasks are enough. Templates save you from rebuilding everything for each new assignment.
- Projects, stages and tasks
- Timer and timesheet
- Email and calendar connected
- A tracking page for each client
Client requests become projects
Connect Gmail, Microsoft 365 or your IMAP mailbox. An email from a known client joins its ongoing project on its own. A new request becomes a project in one click: the client is created from the sender and a first "Reply to" task is ready.
A public request form can also open a project to qualify as soon as a prospect fills it in.
Hours billed, not forgotten
The timer runs while you work and every hour finds its project. If you use InvoiceLead with the same Lead account, ProjectLead prepares one invoice draft per project each month. Everything is explained on project management software with time tracking.
Clients follow along without calling you
Each client gets a link to their project tracking page: progress, stages, shared notes and files. Updates can go out by email every week or at each finished stage. Your online booking pages save the back and forth to find a slot, and busy slots from your external calendars are blocked.
The AI Assistant as a colleague
The built-in AI Assistant prepares the work for you: it can propose a full project plan (stages, tasks, milestones, dependencies and dates) or a batch of changes, shown in full on a "To confirm" card. One click on "Confirm" applies it with your permissions; the assistant never sends an email to your clients.
When you work alone, that is a draft assignment plan to review instead of a blank page.
A typical week with ProjectLead
On Monday, the home screen shows your tasks for the day, the projects you follow and your appointments. A request arrives by email: one click turns it into a project, with the client created and a first task to reply. On Tuesday, the AI Assistant drafts the plan for this new assignment, which you review before confirming.
During the week the timer counts your hours assignment by assignment, and clients book on your online page instead of emailing you. On Friday the automatic update goes out to each client. At month end, hours become invoice drafts in InvoiceLead: you only review and send.
Start for free. Move to Pro when your projects multiply.

You choose the plan inside ProjectLead (Settings, Company). Once paid, it also opens VisitLead and CashLead at the same level, at no extra cost. Finished and archived projects, templates and requests to qualify do not count. A limit only stops you from opening one more project; it never blocks your data.
