Why we built HelloSolo

The freelancer tool market is broken

We've been freelancers ourselves. We know the drill: you sign up for a proposal tool, then an invoicing tool, then a contract tool, then a project management tool. Before you know it, you're paying $150/month across 4 subscriptions and spending more time managing tools than doing actual work.

The problem with existing tools

HoneyBook started great, then raised prices to $36/month (Starter) and locked AI behind their $129 tier. Dubsado is powerful but takes 6 hours to set up. Bonsai charges $29/month but has no real AI and limited customization.

None of them treat AI as a first-class feature. It's always an afterthought, a chatbot bolted onto the side.

What we wanted instead

We wanted one tool that:

• Handles the entire workflow from inquiry to payment
• Uses AI proactively, not reactively
• Costs less than any single competitor
• Takes 15 minutes to set up, not 6 hours
• Gives clients a beautiful, branded experience

So we built it

HelloSolo is the tool we wished existed. AI drafts your proposals, generates contract clauses, writes follow-up messages, and monitors your business for problems before they cost you money.

It starts at $29/month with a 14-day free trial. No credit card required. No surprise price hikes.

What's next

We're just getting started. Our roadmap includes custom domains for client portals, advanced reporting, team collaboration features, and deeper AI integrations. But the foundation is here, and it works.
