Mojolin is self-funded How we score

HoneyBook is our top pick for freelancers in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia because a lead form, pipeline, proposal, contract and invoice all sit on the same client record.

HubSpot CRM and Capsule have free plans for two users, Dubsado suits freelancers who want heavy workflow automation, and Bonsai fits hourly work. Pipedrive and folk are strong sales CRMs for freelancers with a busy lead flow, and Less Annoying CRM is the simple flat-price option.

    HoneyBook

    A client management platform for independent service businesses that tracks leads in a pipeline and turns them into signed, paid projects.

    honeybook.com

    8.6

    out of 10

    Best for: Freelancers in the US, Canada, UK or Australia who want lead capture, proposals, contracts and payments tied to each client record.

    HoneyBook ranks first because it treats the client record as the center of a freelance business. A lead arrives through a HoneyBook lead form, lands in a customizable pipeline, and then moves through proposal, contract and invoice without leaving that record. Proposals let a client pick services, sign and pay in one file, which shortens the gap between an inquiry and a deposit. Custom fields and tags keep client details searchable, and pipeline automations push projects to the next stage when triggers fire. Payments support cards, ACH, payment plans, autopay and late fees, with card fees starting at 2.9% plus 25 cents. The limits matter for solo users: Starter at $29 per month billed annually allows only two live lead forms, and automations plus the scheduler sit on Essentials at $49. HoneyBook is also only open to businesses in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia, so freelancers elsewhere need another tool.

    Standout feature

    Clients can book, sign and pay from a single proposal file.

    Use cases

    • Wedding photographers

      Capture inquiries with a lead form and send a booking proposal

      Outcome: Signed contract and deposit from one file

    • Freelance consultants

      Track each prospect through a custom pipeline

      Outcome: A clear view of which leads need a follow-up

    • Coaches

      Bill clients on recurring invoices with autopay

      Outcome: Fewer late payments to chase

    Key features

    • Customizable pipeline with pipeline automations that move projects between stages
    • Lead forms that capture and book leads, with custom fields and tags on every client
    • Proposals that let clients book, sign and pay from a single file
    • Invoices on one-time, recurring or custom schedules with autopay and payment reminders
    • Client portal plus email and calendar sync, Zapier, QuickBooks, Calendly and Mailchimp integrations

    Pros

    • Every plan includes unlimited clients and projects
    • Lead, contract and payment history sit on the same client record
    • Hundreds of professionally designed file templates in the gallery

    Cons

    • Only available to businesses in the US, Canada, UK and Australia
    • Starter allows just 2 live lead forms and one scheduler session type
    • Automations, the scheduler and QuickBooks sync start on Essentials at $49 per month billed annually
  2. Rank 2 · Runner-up

    Moxie

    An all-in-one workspace for freelancers that combines client management, a sales pipeline, proposals, invoicing and time tracking.

    withmoxie.com

    8.5

    out of 10

    Best for: Solo freelancers who want a sales pipeline and client records plus billing at a low monthly price.

    Moxie is the closest rival to HoneyBook and the stronger choice for freelancers who watch costs. Its Starter plan is $10 per month billed annually, or $12 monthly, and it already includes client management, a sales pipeline, proposals, quotes, contracts, invoicing, time tracking, basic accounting, a custom form builder and meeting schedulers. That covers the full path from a new lead to a paid invoice for one person. A universal calendar and inbox keeps client messages and meetings in one view, and the Moxie AI assistant is on every plan. Pro at $20 billed annually adds a white-label client portal, support ticketing, workflow automations, a Communicator phone line and integrations through Zapier, Make, webhooks and a public API. Moxie says freelancers do not have to pay annually, which suits uneven income. The trade-offs are automations locked to Pro and a Teams plan that tops out at five members.

    Standout feature

    A sales pipeline, proposals and invoicing for $10 per month billed annually.

    Use cases

    • Freelance designers

      Move inquiries through the sales pipeline to a signed contract

      Outcome: Every lead tracked without a separate CRM

    • Web developers

      Track time and invoice from the same client record

      Outcome: Billable hours turned into invoices quickly

    • Virtual assistants

      Book discovery calls with a meeting scheduler

      Outcome: Fewer emails to agree on a time

    Key features

    • Client management and a sales pipeline on every plan
    • Proposals, quotes and contracts plus invoicing and payment tools
    • Custom form builder and meeting schedulers to collect new leads
    • Universal calendar and inbox with the Moxie AI assistant
    • Pro adds a white-label client portal, workflow automations and Zapier, Make and API integrations

    Pros

    • Starter includes the sales pipeline, so lead tracking is not an upsell
    • No annual contract required; monthly billing is offered
    • Pro adds unlimited project collaborators for freelancers who subcontract

    Cons

    • Workflow automations need Pro at $20 per month billed annually
    • The Communicator phone line covers only the US, Canada and the UK
    • Teams caps the workspace at five team members

    Bigin by Zoho

    A pipeline-centric CRM from Zoho built for small businesses, with a free single-user edition.

    bigin.com

    8.4

    out of 10

    Best for: Freelancers who want a real sales pipeline for free and an inexpensive upgrade path.

    Bigin by Zoho is the best pick for freelancers who want a proper sales CRM without paying for one. The free edition gives a single user one pipeline with customizable stages, 500 records, contact and activity management, three automations, a dashboard, a booking page, web forms for capturing leads and a business card scanner. A built-in phone lets you make, receive and record calls from the CRM. When the free plan gets tight, Express costs $7 per user per month billed yearly, or $9 monthly, and raises the limits to three pipelines, 50,000 records and 30 automations while adding Gmail, Outlook and WhatsApp Business integration and mass emails with insights. Bigin is a CRM first, so it has no native proposals, contracts or invoicing; freelancers who bill through Bigin usually pair it with another Zoho app. For keeping leads, follow-ups and client details organized, though, it does the job at the lowest price on this list.

    Standout feature

    A free single-user pipeline CRM with a booking page and web forms.

    Use cases

    • Freelance copywriters

      Track pitches in a free pipeline

      Outcome: A clear list of open leads at no cost

    • Photographers

      Collect inquiries with a Bigin web form

      Outcome: New leads logged automatically

    • Consultants

      Log calls with the built-in phone

      Outcome: Call history on each contact

    Key features

    • Pipelines with customizable stages for any customer-facing process
    • Contacts, companies, products and activities such as calls, tasks and events
    • Built-in phone with call recording plus 100+ telephony integrations
    • Booking page, no-code web forms and a business card scanner
    • Apps for iOS, iPadOS, Android and macOS, plus MCP support for AI tools

    Pros

    • The free edition includes a pipeline, 3 automations and a booking page
    • Express adds Gmail, Outlook and WhatsApp Business integration for $7 billed yearly
    • Mobile and macOS apps for updating leads on the go

    Cons

    • The free plan is for a single user and stops at 500 records
    • No built-in proposals, contracts or invoicing like freelance suites
    • Email integration is not on the free plan
  4. Rank 4

    HubSpot CRM

    A free CRM for up to two users that upgrades to Starter seats with more fields, permissions and automation.

    hubspot.com

    8.3

    out of 10

    Best for: Freelancers who want a free contact and deal database with email tracking, and room to grow.

    HubSpot CRM is a strong free option for a freelancer whose main need is remembering every lead and following up on time. The free plan covers two users and 1,000 contacts with deal pipelines, a reporting dashboard and email tools, so you can log a prospect, track an opportunity and see which conversations went quiet. Starter is normally $20 per seat per month, and HubSpot was offering new customers up to 65% off when we checked, with the lowest rate tied to upfront annual payment. Starter replaces the basic CRM with the full version, including up to 1,000 custom properties, more organization and expanded reporting. HubSpot is built for sales and marketing teams, so it lacks the proposals, contracts and invoicing that HoneyBook, Moxie and Dubsado include. The free plan also limits you to 10 custom properties, which can feel tight if you track project details on each client.

    Standout feature

    A free CRM with no expiration date for up to two users.

    Use cases

    • Freelance marketers

      Log prospects and deals on the free plan

      Outcome: A follow-up list without paying for software

    • Consultants

      Track email opens on proposals sent from Gmail

      Outcome: Better timing on follow-up messages

    • Two-person studios

      Share one CRM across both partners

      Outcome: Shared client history at no cost

    Key features

    • Free CRM with contacts, deal pipelines and a reporting dashboard
    • Email tracking and templates for timely follow-ups
    • Breeze AI assistance inside the CRM
    • HubSpot Marketplace apps to connect other tools
    • Starter unlocks the full CRM with 1,000 custom properties and seats purchased per user

    Pros

    • Free plan has no expiration date
    • Free and paid tiers share one account, so upgrading needs no migration
    • New customers can get Starter for up to 65% off for a limited time

    Cons

    • Free plan stops at 2 users, 1,000 contacts and 10 custom properties
    • No built-in proposals or contracts for freelance work
    • Higher tiers get expensive if you later want advanced automation
  5. Rank 5

    Dubsado

    A business management platform for service providers covering lead capture, contracts, invoices, scheduling and workflows.

    dubsado.com

    8.2

    out of 10

    Best for: Freelancers and creative service providers who want automated client workflows from first inquiry to final invoice.

    Dubsado earns its place for freelancers who repeat the same client process over and over. Both plans include email integration, unlimited projects and clients, invoicing with payment plans, form and email templates, client portals, a calendar connection and a mobile app. Starter costs $335 per year and includes one active lead capture form, so a new inquiry lands in Dubsado with its details already filled in. Premier at $525 per year adds unlimited lead forms, scheduling, public proposals, bookkeeping and Zapier integration, and automated workflows that can send forms, contracts and reminders at each step. Dubsado includes three additional users free and charges $10 per month for each extra brand, which helps freelancers who run two businesses. The cost of all this flexibility is setup time: building workflows takes more effort than adding a deal to a pipeline, and the most useful automation sits on Premier.

    Standout feature

    Automated workflows that send forms, contracts and reminders at each project step.

    Use cases

    • Brand designers

      Send a lead form, proposal and contract in sequence

      Outcome: Consistent onboarding for every client

    • Event planners

      Automate reminders and payment plans with workflows

      Outcome: Fewer manual follow-ups

    • Freelancers with two businesses

      Run each under a separate brand

      Outcome: Clean records for both

    Key features

    • Lead capture forms that create new leads in your account
    • Legally binding contracts, proposals and invoices with payment plans
    • Client portals for each client's project files and details
    • Automated workflows and scheduling on Premier
    • Separate brands for each business at $10 per month per additional brand

    Pros

    • Unlimited projects and clients on both plans
    • 21-day trial with full Premier access and no credit card
    • Three additional users included at no extra cost

    Cons

    • Starter allows only one active lead capture form
    • Automated workflows, scheduling and Zapier need Premier at $525 per year
    • More setup work than simpler CRMs before automations pay off
  6. Rank 6

    Bonsai

    A client and project management platform for freelancers, consultancies and agencies with CRM, proposals, contracts, invoicing and time tracking.

    hellobonsai.com

    8.0

    out of 10

    Best for: Freelancers who track hours and want CRM, contracts and invoices in the same tool.

    Bonsai suits freelancers whose work is billed by the hour or by project and who want client records next to timesheets and invoices. Basic is $9 per user per month billed annually, or $15 monthly, and includes time tracking, task management, unlimited projects, a CRM with unlimited clients, a service library and mobile apps. Essentials at $19 adds the pieces most freelancers need to win and bill work: proposals, contracts, all templates, forms and questionnaires, scheduling, a client portal, invoices and payments, and expense and income tracking. The catch for lead management is that Bonsai's deals pipeline and custom client fields sit on Premium at $29 per user billed annually, along with integrations for QuickBooks, Xero, Zapier, Calendly and Google. A freelancer who only needs a client list can start cheaply, but one who wants to track open opportunities by stage pays more here than with Moxie or Bigin.

    Standout feature

    Client records, time tracking and invoicing in one place from $9 per user billed annually.

    Use cases

    • Hourly consultants

      Track time against each client and invoice it

      Outcome: Accurate bills without spreadsheets

    • Freelance writers

      Send a proposal and contract from templates

      Outcome: Faster sign-off on new projects

    • Growing freelancers

      Track opportunities in the Premium deals pipeline

      Outcome: A view of upcoming work

    Key features

    • CRM with unlimited clients and a service library on every plan
    • Proposals, contracts, forms and questionnaires on Essentials
    • Invoices and payments plus expense and income tracking
    • Deals pipeline and custom client fields on Premium
    • QuickBooks, Xero, Zapier, Calendly and Google integrations on Premium

    Pros

    • Basic at $9 billed annually already includes CRM and unlimited clients
    • Time tracking and invoicing in one place for hourly freelancers
    • iOS and Android apps on every plan

    Cons

    • The deals pipeline for tracking leads needs Premium at $29 billed annually
    • Proposals, contracts and invoicing start on Essentials at $19
    • Pricing is per user, so adding help raises the bill quickly

    Capsule CRM

    A straightforward CRM for small businesses and solopreneurs with contacts, a sales pipeline, tasks and projects.

    capsulecrm.com

    7.9

    out of 10

    Best for: Freelancers who want a clean contact and pipeline CRM with a free plan and email templates.

    Capsule CRM is a tidy contact-first CRM that works well for a freelancer who mainly needs to remember people and next steps. The free plan covers up to two users, 250 contacts, five custom fields and one sales pipeline with custom milestones, plus tasks with custom categories. That is enough for a small client roster. Starter costs $18 per user per month billed annually, or $22 monthly, and raises the limit to 30,000 contacts while adding email templates, a shared mailbox, premium integrations such as Xero, and an AI pipeline generator. Capsule also has project boards, which helps when a won deal turns into delivery work. For follow-ups, the important upgrade is Growth at $36: it adds workflow automations, advanced reporting and automatic email sync from Gmail and Outlook. Capsule has no proposals, contracts or invoicing, so most freelancers will pair it with a billing tool.

    Standout feature

    A free plan for two users with a custom sales pipeline.

    Use cases

    • Freelance accountants

      Keep client contacts and tasks in one record

      Outcome: Nothing slips between busy periods

    • Solo consultants

      Track prospects through a custom pipeline

      Outcome: Clear next steps for each lead

    • Small partnerships

      Answer inquiries from a shared mailbox

      Outcome: One inbox for new business

    Key features

    • Contact management with custom fields and a sales pipeline with custom milestones
    • Tasks and calendar with custom task categories
    • Email templates and a shared mailbox on Starter
    • AI pipeline generator to build a pipeline for your process
    • Growth adds workflow automations, Gmail and Outlook email sync and project boards

    Pros

    • Free plan for up to 2 users
    • Starter jumps to 30,000 contacts
    • No setup or onboarding fees, and every paid plan has a 14-day trial with no card

    Cons

    • Free plan stops at 250 contacts and 5 custom fields
    • Automatic email logging needs Growth at $36 billed annually
    • No invoicing or contracts built in
  8. Rank 8

    Pipedrive

    A pipeline-first sales CRM with automation, email tools, AI features and add-ons for lead generation and documents.

    pipedrive.com

    7.8

    out of 10

    Best for: Freelancers whose income depends on an active sales process with many leads and calls.

    Pipedrive is the strongest pure sales CRM here, and it makes sense for freelancers who treat new business like a sales job, such as consultants running many discovery calls. Its pipeline view shows every deal by stage, and activity tracking and goals make it obvious which lead needs a follow-up next. Pipedrive says Nova, its meeting intelligence feature, is included in all plans: it pulls deal history into a pre-call brief, records and transcribes calls, and drafts CRM updates afterward. AI tools write and summarize emails and generate reports from prompts. Lead generation through LeadBooster, web visitor tracking and Smart Docs for trackable documents are add-ons, which raises the real cost. Pipedrive has no permanent free plan and no invoicing or contracts for client work, and its pricing page did not show us US dollar prices, so check the current rate before you buy.

    Standout feature

    Nova meeting intelligence records calls and drafts CRM updates on every plan.

    Use cases

    • Freelance consultants

      Run discovery calls with Nova recording and recaps

      Outcome: CRM notes written without manual entry

    • Independent recruiters

      Track candidates and clients through stages

      Outcome: A clear pipeline of placements

    • Freelance developers

      Automate follow-up tasks after each proposal

      Outcome: Fewer leads forgotten

    Key features

    • Visual sales pipeline with customizable stages, goals and activity tracking
    • Task automation, webhooks and an open API
    • Nova meeting intelligence that records, transcribes and recaps calls, included in all plans
    • AI sales assistant, AI email writer and summarizer, and AI reporting
    • Add-ons such as LeadBooster for lead generation and Smart Docs for trackable documents

    Pros

    • Pipeline view makes the next action on every deal obvious
    • Nova call recaps draft CRM updates you approve in one click
    • Free trial with full access and no credit card

    Cons

    • Built for sales teams, so freelance billing tools are absent
    • Lead generation, web visitor tracking and documents are paid add-ons
    • No permanent free plan

    folk

    A relationship CRM that syncs email, calendar, LinkedIn and WhatsApp and uses AI assistants for enrichment and follow-ups.

    folk.app

    7.7

    out of 10

    Best for: Freelancers who find clients through LinkedIn and their network and want contacts enriched automatically.

    folk is built around relationships rather than projects, which fits freelancers whose leads come from LinkedIn, referrals and their network. The LinkedIn Chrome extension saves a prospect to folk in a click, and email, calendar and WhatsApp sync keep conversations attached to each contact. On Standard, AI features include magic fields, a research assistant, a follow-up assistant and a recap assistant, plus 500 email lookups per month for enrichment. Pipeline management with groups and views is included, and email campaigns let you send personalized messages to a segment. Standard costs $24 per member per month billed yearly, or $30 monthly, after a two-week free trial with no card. The downsides for freelancers are price and structure: deals and custom objects sit on Premium at $48, and many AI features draw on monthly credits. folk also has no invoicing or contracts, so it covers the lead side of the business only.

    Standout feature

    A LinkedIn extension and AI follow-up assistant built into the CRM.

    Use cases

    • Freelance marketers

      Save LinkedIn prospects with the Chrome extension

      Outcome: A growing lead list without copy and paste

    • Consultants

      Get nudges from the Follow-up Assistant

      Outcome: Fewer warm contacts going cold

    • Fractional executives

      Sync email and calendar history to each contact

      Outcome: Full context before every call

    Key features

    • Pipeline management with groups and views
    • LinkedIn Chrome extension to save prospects in one click
    • Email, calendar and WhatsApp sync
    • Contact enrichment, magic fields and a Follow-up Assistant
    • Email campaigns plus 5,000+ integrations through Zapier and Make

    Pros

    • Strong for network-based lead sourcing from LinkedIn
    • Two-week free trial with no credit card
    • Unlimited members on every plan

    Cons

    • Deals and custom objects need Premium at $48 billed yearly
    • Enrichment and AI fields run on monthly credits
    • Most expensive entry price among the CRMs on this list

    Less Annoying CRM

    A simple CRM for small businesses with one price that includes every feature.

    lessannoyingcrm.com

    7.6

    out of 10

    Best for: Freelancers who want an easy contact and pipeline tracker at one flat price with phone support.

    Less Annoying CRM is the plainest tool on this list, and that is the point. It costs $15 per user per month with no tiers and no contracts, and that price includes unlimited contacts and companies, unlimited pipelines, unlimited custom fields, task management, email logging, user permissions, mobile access and 25GB of file storage per user. For a freelancer, that means every lead, follow-up task and client note can live in one place without hitting a plan limit, and there is no upsell to learn about later. The company offers free email and phone support to everyone, including people still on the 30-day trial, which needs no credit card. Less Annoying CRM is also HIPAA-compliant, which helps freelancers serving healthcare clients. It does not try to run the rest of the business: there are no proposals, contracts, invoices or advanced automation, and its feature set is lighter than the alternatives.

    Standout feature

    One $15 price with every feature included and free phone support.

    Use cases

    • Freelance bookkeepers

      Track client details and recurring tasks

      Outcome: Nothing forgotten between monthly closes

    • Health and wellness freelancers

      Store client notes in a HIPAA-compliant CRM

      Outcome: Compliance without a custom setup

Buying guide

How to choose

Choose between a freelance suite and a pure CRM

HoneyBook, Moxie, Dubsado and Bonsai combine client records with proposals, contracts and invoices, so a lead becomes a paid project in one tool. Bigin, HubSpot, Capsule, Pipedrive, folk and Less Annoying CRM focus on contacts and pipelines and leave billing to other software. If you already invoice elsewhere and only lose track of leads, a pure CRM is cheaper and simpler.

Check where lead tracking starts

Some plans hide the pipeline. Bonsai puts its deals pipeline on Premium at $29 per user billed annually, and folk puts deals on Premium at $48. Moxie, Bigin, HubSpot and Capsule include a pipeline on their entry or free plans. Look at the plan feature list, not only the headline price.

Decide how follow-ups will happen

Automated follow-ups usually cost more. HoneyBook automations start on Essentials, Moxie workflow automations on Pro, Dubsado workflows on Premier and Capsule automations on Growth. Bigin includes 3 automations free and 30 on Express. If you are happy with manual task reminders, a cheaper plan is enough.

Count lead form and contact limits

HoneyBook Starter allows 2 live lead forms and Dubsado Starter allows 1. Capsule's free plan stops at 250 contacts, HubSpot's at 1,000 and Bigin's at 500 records. A freelancer with a small, steady client base can live inside those limits, while one who markets widely will hit them quickly.

Confirm the tool works where you live

HoneyBook is only available to businesses in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia, and Moxie's Communicator phone line covers the US, Canada and the UK. Freelancers elsewhere should check availability and supported payment methods before moving client data.
