For the studio that counts rounds
Revisions are free until they aren’t. Then they’re a number.
Tag the rounds. Show the client what round four cost. Bill day rates without a hack, keep studio budgets honest, and don’t pay per seat for a freelancer you had for three weeks.
One payment. No rent. File is yours.
Design Teams — straight talk
The parts that usually go sideways.
One more round, times seven
Tag r1, r2, r3. The talk gets easy when the count is on the page.
Seats cost more than the freelancer
One buy per person, all their machines. Add people in a sprint without adding a bill.
Day rate or hourly? Yes.
Log hours, bill a day. Or itemize. Both look right on the PDF.
What you’ll actually use
Just the bits you bill for.
Round tags
r1, r2, r3 on entries. Makes scope talk factual, not awkward.
Budgets per deliverable
Logo, guide, deck — each has its own bar. You spot creep early.
No seat math
Buy once per person. Forever. Freelancers don’t trigger an invoice from us.
And the rest of owntime
Timers, timesheets, invoices with tax, expenses with snaps, estimates, per-client currency, CSV you can hand to anyone — the full list.
What the client sees
