FreelancePro Toolkit

The pricing, contracts & client-ops kit you should've bought three projects ago. One-time · $29
Stop undercharging — start earning like a studio.

Most freelancers lose $18,400 a year because they priced the project, not the value.

FreelancePro is the toolkit we built after fifteen years of freelancing, five-figure launches, and more bad contracts than we'd like to admit. Inside: a live rate calculator, eight lawyer-reviewed contracts, a pricing playbook, nine invoice templates, and the client-onboarding scripts that turned us from "cheap option" to "retainer of choice."

No subscription Instant download 14-day refund

Find the rate you should've been charging.

Enter four numbers. We'll show you the hourly and day rate needed to hit your target income — accounting for taxes, billable reality, and the overhead nobody tells you about.

Spoiler: the number is almost always higher than the one you're quoting. The toolkit turns that number into an offer clients actually say yes to.

Nine assets, zero fluff.

Every asset has been battle-tested on real projects. We didn't include a single thing you'd throw away. If you could find it free on Google, we left it out and wrote something better.

★★★★★
"I was charging $45/hr for dev work. The calculator told me the real number was $118. I tested it on a new lead the next morning — they said yes and thanked me for being transparent."

★★★★★
"The rate-raise letter template got me from $3k/month retainer to $5k with a client I'd worked with for two years. I sent it at 9am. She signed by lunch."

★★★★★
"The scope-creep script paid for the toolkit fifty times over on one project. I finally have language for 'that's a change order' that doesn't feel confrontational."

The fine print,
unvarnished.

We've tried to answer the questions you'd actually ask a friend before buying. If we missed one, our inbox is open — and yes, a human reads it.

Is this just repackaged stuff I could Google?

No. Every contract was reviewed by a practicing attorney. Every template was used on real paying projects. The pricing playbook alone contains four frameworks we've never seen published anywhere else. If you can find a better kit for under $200, we'll refund you and recommend theirs.

What format are the files in?

PDFs for reading, DOCX and Google Docs for contracts (so you can edit), Google Sheets for invoices and the financial model, Notion and Figma for proposals. You'll get a single download link with everything organized in labeled folders.

I'm a new freelancer — is this for me?

Especially for you. Most freelancers spend their first three years learning what's in this kit the expensive way — by losing money on bad contracts, underpriced projects, and scope creep they didn't know how to handle. We built this so you don't have to.

Will the contracts work in my country?

The contracts are written in plain English under general common-law principles and work well in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and most of Europe. For jurisdictions with unusual requirements, we include notes on what to check with a local attorney. Not legal advice, but a stronger starting point than a blank page.

What's the refund policy?

14 days, no questions asked. Reply to the receipt email, get a full refund. We'd rather you be happy than hold onto $29.

Do I get updates?

Yes — lifetime updates included in the purchase. When we update contracts for new laws, add templates, or release v2 of the pricing playbook, you'll get the new files automatically.
