The Opportunity

Problem

Marketing freelancers endure endless client revisions on ad campaigns without payment for scope changes, causing burnout.

Solution

ScopeBill uses templates to define initial campaign scopes, then auto-generates change orders for any deviations. Freelancers get one-click billing links, and clients pay via Stripe to unlock further work. Say goodbye to revision negotiations with predefined pricing tiers.

Target Audience
