Pricing · Client change approval + payment proof
ScopeDue Pricing
Start free, then upgrade when client changes become a repeat part of your freelance workflow. ScopeDue pricing is built around the practical record you need for paid change requests: a client approval link, price, timeline impact, payment status history, freelancer confirmation, handoff condition, and Proof Pack export.

Launch plans
Choose the plan that matches your approval volume
ScopeDue is not priced like a full CRM, marketplace, accounting suite, or legal platform. The plans are based on the core ScopeDue workflow: create a priced change request, send the client link, track payment status, confirm receipt, and save the proof record before the work continues.

Plan comparison
What changes as you upgrade
The main difference is not whether you can create a record. Every plan should keep the core approval flow understandable. Upgrades are for volume, branding, source file release, extra revision workflows, handoff controls, stronger Proof Pack exports, and team needs.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Client approval links | 3 per month | 30 per month | Unlimited | Unlimited with team use |
| Payment status history | Basic tracking | Full payment ledger | Advanced status history and partial payments | Team-visible payment history |
| Client marked paid → freelancer confirmed received | Included | Included | Included | Included |
| Proof Pack export | Basic with watermark | No watermark | Advanced PDF export | Advanced export for teams and brands |
| Handoff lock | Not included | Included | Included with advanced workflows | Included for team workflows |
| Source file release request | Template only | Manual record | Dedicated workflow | Dedicated workflow with team controls |
| Extra revision approval | Template only | Manual change request | Dedicated workflow | Dedicated workflow with shared templates |
| Best fit | Testing a first request | Freelancers with recurring client changes | Freelancers who need source file, revision, and handoff controls | Small teams, solo studios, and multi-brand services |
Pricing signup workflow
Pricing is tied to one clear client-change workflow
Pain
A client asks for extra work in email, chat, a call, or a casual comment. The freelancer wants to help, but the price, timeline impact, payment rule, and handoff condition are not written down.
ScopeDue workflow
Create the priced change request or approval record.
Send the client approval link.
Get approval, decline, or a client question.
Track whether payment is required before work or before handoff.
Save the approval, payment status history, freelancer confirmation, and handoff status in the Proof Pack.

Feature value
What you are paying for
Priced change requests
Turn “can you also add this?” into a clear request that states what changed, what it costs, and whether the timeline changes. See how change request approval works.
Payment status history
The client can mark payment sent and upload proof, but final paid status requires freelancer confirmation. Learn how the payment ledger reduces payment confusion.
Proof Pack export
Keep a business record of approvals, payment events, receipt references, and handoff status. Preview the Proof Pack or open a sample Proof Pack.
Product boundaries
What not to use ScopeDue for
ScopeDue helps freelancers create a clear business record of approvals, payment events, and handoff decisions. It is not a substitute for legal, tax, or accounting advice.
Do not use it as a replacement for
- a formal contract or legal advice;
- tax or accounting software;
- a payment processor;
- a full freelancer CRM;
- a marketplace or escrow service.
Use it to create a record of
- what the client requested;
- what price and timeline were approved;
- whether payment was required;
- whether the client marked paid;
- whether the freelancer confirmed received;
- whether work or final handoff can continue.
FAQ
Pricing questions
Can I start with ScopeDue for free?
Yes. Free is designed for trying the basic approval flow with a small number of approval links, basic payment tracking, and a basic Proof Pack export with watermark.
Does ScopeDue collect client payments automatically?
No. ScopeDue tracks approval, payment status, proof upload, and freelancer confirmation. It does not automatically collect payment and does not replace accounting software.
Which plan is best for extra revisions?
Pro is the best fit if you regularly charge for revision rounds beyond the included limit. It supports dedicated extra revision workflows instead of treating every revision as a generic note.
Which plan is best for source files and final handoff?
Pro or Studio is the better fit when source file release, handoff lock, and payment-before-handoff records are a regular part of your client work.
Can clients confirm final paid status?
No. A client can mark payment sent and upload proof, but the freelancer confirms payment received. That distinction is central to the ScopeDue payment status history.
What happens if signup is not open yet?
Use the waitlist CTA. During launch, ScopeDue may route some users to a waitlist or sample approval flow before full account creation is available.
