Problem
Freelancers in the Czech Republic lack a single tool that connects project scoping, client data, price estimation, and invoicing in one coherent workflow. Existing tools are either too generic, lack local market support (CZK, ARES), or bundle features that a solo developer doesn't need.
Approach
FreelancePricing is a focused SaaS product that covers the full freelance business cycle: from a new project estimate through a quoted proposal to a paid invoice. An embedded AI model assists with price estimation so freelancers can calibrate rates against project complexity rather than guessing.
