Your retainer is hours-based, not flat-fee.
Toggl gives you a spreadsheet. Bonsai charges $15/mo for a suite where most of the surface (CRM, proposals, contracts) doesn’t apply to your workflow. Flowly does the daily flow — track hours, send the retainer invoice — for $8/mo annual.
End-of-month is the worst day.
Categorize hours by client, draft the invoice, chase payment. Flowly automates the categorize-and-invoice half so the only thing left on your plate is the follow-up.
Retainer invoices regenerate on the 1st.
Recurring monthly invoices for retainer clients pull in that month’s tracked hours automatically. You review, hit send, and move on with your day.
“I bill three retainer clients monthly. End-of-month used to be a half-day of spreadsheet work. Now I review the auto-drafted invoice and click send.”
From $8/month annual or $12/month monthly. No per-client charges. No per-invoice fees. Compare: Bonsai $15/mo, HoneyBook $29/mo, Plutio $19/mo.
