Scope control for freelancers and small agencies

changes from
becoming unpaid work.

The problem

"One small change" rarely stays small.

It can add review time, implementation work, testing, communication and delivery delay. ScopePaid helps make the added work visible before it begins.

Client asks

Add login

This may also require

  • account recovery
  • user roles
  • subscription states
  • billing screens
  • dashboard
  • admin controls
  • testing
  • more revisions

Example project impact — not a global customer statistic. Actual estimates are entered or reviewed by the freelancer.

    Client request

  3. 03

    Decide whether it is additional work, then confirm the price and added delivery time.

    Optional AI-assisted review

AI assistance

AI helps review the request. You make the final decision.

Compare the client request with the confirmed original scope and receive editable suggestions for scope, hidden requirements, effort, price guidance, delivery impact and client-facing wording.

Generic AI assistant

  • Gives a temporary response
  • Does not know the confirmed original scope unless you supply it
  • Does not maintain project history
  • Does not publish secure client choices
  • Does not record a final client decision
  • Does not manage links or notifications

ScopePaid

  • Saves the confirmed original scope
  • Compares the new client request
  • Provides editable AI-assisted review
  • Prepares client choices
  • Sends secure approval links
  • Records decisions
  • Preserves project history

AI runs only when you click Analyse with AI. Suggestions remain editable. Nothing is sent automatically. Manual review is available on every plan.
