Services Pricing Made Simple

Master T&M billing, fixed-price projects, and retainer management with intelligent pricing automation designed for consulting and professional services firms.

Services Pricing Challenges We Solve

Professional services pricing is uniquely complex. Multiple billing models, variable resource costs, and project-based revenue recognition create challenges that generic pricing tools can't handle.

Complex Rate Structures

Different rates by role, seniority, geography, and client tier — manually managing rate cards across hundreds of engagements leads to revenue leakage.

Utilization Tracking

Without real-time visibility into billable vs. non-billable hours, firms struggle to optimize staffing decisions and hit utilization targets.

Project Profitability

Fixed-price projects frequently overrun budgets because scope changes aren't tracked against pricing in real-time, eroding margins silently.

Expense Management

Tracking billable expenses, applying markup rules, and reconciling pass-through costs across projects is manual, error-prone, and time-consuming.

Built for Services Excellence

Six powerful pricing models working together to give you complete control over every type of services engagement — from hourly consulting to complex multi-phase projects.
