Scope creep kills your hourly rate. Fix it before you code.
Define project scope in clear tiers, get client approval before you write a line of code, and collect payment through Stripe -- all from one link.
Get started freeThe problem
Sound familiar?
'Can you also add...' after every demo
You demo the feature. The client loves it. Then: 'Can you also add user roles? And a dashboard? And maybe an API?' Each addition is a day of work they expect for free.
Estimating projects over Slack is a trap
A client describes a project in a Slack thread and asks for a ballpark. You say '$3k-$5k' and they lock onto the low end. Now you're anchored to a number you typed in 30 seconds.
Invoicing gets deprioritized after shipping
You push the final deploy, close your IDE, and forget to invoice for a week. The client has moved on to their next priority. Your payment is an afterthought for both of you.
The solution
How SendScope helps
Project tiers that prevent scope creep
Offer an MVP Build, Full Feature Set, and Ongoing Maintenance as tiers. Each one lists specific features, tech stack, revision rounds, and timeline -- so 'can you also add' has a documented boundary.
Scope documented and approved
The client picks a tier and approves it. That approved deal page is your spec. When requests go beyond scope, you reference it and offer an add-on deal.
Payment collected before development starts
Clients pay through Stripe on the deal page. You start coding with money in your account, not with a promise and a handshake over Zoom.
Auto-invoicing on approval
No more creating invoices in FreshBooks after you ship. The invoice generates when the client approves, and payment happens on the same page.
How it works
Three steps to getting paid
Scope the project as tiers
Break the project into tiers. A landing page, a full-stack app, a monthly retainer -- each with defined features, tech stack, and delivery timeline.
Send one link after the scoping call
Replace the 'I'll send over a proposal doc' email with a single link. Your client sees a professional page with options, not a Notion doc or Google Doc.
Get paid and start building
Your client approves a tier and pays. You get notified, the invoice is handled, and you open your IDE knowing the project is funded.
