Flowly vs Moxie: Fewer Tabs, Same Daily Loop
Moxie pitches itself as 'Stupid-good tools for freelancers' and 'All-in-one freelance business management software.' It bundles invoicing, contracts, proposals, a CRM, tasks, and time tracking into one suite. At $10/month annual (Starter) or $12/month monthly, it sits in the same price band as Flowly and competes for the same audience.
The difference is surface area. Moxie wants to be the operating system of your freelance business — every tab, every workflow, in one place. Flowly is deliberately the opposite: a focused daily loop (track time → send invoice → get paid) without the CRM, the proposals, or the contracts. Same job, smaller surface, same money.
For freelancers whose engagement model relies on formal proposals or pipelines, Moxie's breadth wins. For freelancers whose work starts with a Slack DM and ends with an invoice on the 1st of the month, Flowly's focus wins.
This page covers the exact tradeoff. Moxie is a real and well-built product. The question is whether you actually use the surface area, or only the daily flow.
The Short Answer
You want the daily loop only: track hours, send invoice, get paid. You do not use a CRM or send formal proposals. From $8/month annual or $12/month monthly, no surface you ignore.
You actually use a CRM pipeline, send proposals before projects, manage contracts with e-signature, and want every freelance-business workflow in one suite.
