Hoursmith Reviews & Product Details

Hoursmith connects client projects, tasks, tracked time, expenses and invoices for freelancers, small web/design/development studios and service agencies. Review the work behind a bill, then create and send the invoice from the same workspace. WORK AND TIME Organize tasks in Kanban or list views with assignees, dates, priorities, checklists, comments and attachments. Track time with a timer or manual entries linked to projects and tasks. Project-scoped access and a money-blind Member role let collaborators work without seeing client billing rates. INVOICING Build drafts from eligible hourly work, fixed-project fees, billable expenses and custom lines. Review totals, send a PDF or shareable invoice link, track views and record partial/offline payments. Studio and Agency add Stripe Connect online payments into your own Stripe account, overdue reminders, client/project dashboards, reports and CSV/PDF exports.
