01 / BEFORE ACCEPTING
Quote the actual workload
Count editing, admin, exports, feedback time, costs and fees. The full tool calculates a modeled quote floor from your own hourly target.
FREE REVISION COST CHECK
Your next “quick tweak” has a price.
A fixed-price edit can pay less with every extra hour. Check the impact before you say yes to another revision.
Use your own numbers in this free demo. Then explore the full tool for quoting, revision tracking and extra-work approvals.
No email gate. No account. Inputs are calculated in your browser and are not sent to us.
What you’re checking
Not “how many rounds?” alone. You’re checking whether the time inside those rounds still fits the pay you need.
What does extra time cost?
USD illustration loaded. Replace the fictional amounts with yours. This demo uses USD only.
Before extra time—
After extra time—
Planned time should include editing, admin, exports and already-budgeted revisions. “Extra” means time beyond that plan. Fees and cash costs are deducted; taxes and omitted costs are excluded. Results are estimates.
FROM A NUMBER TO A WORKFLOW
Use the result before the work expands.
02 / DURING THE EDIT
Track time and rounds
Record included changes, proposed new work and corrections separately. Compare included feedback with the allowance you agreed.
03 / BEFORE EXTRA WORK
Get a clear approval
Draft the new scope, fee and timing. Review it, then ask your client to approve before you start. A logged request is not permission to charge.

What does the free demo leave out?
This page checks one project's extra-time impact. The paid download adds quoting, revision classification, allowance tracking, client drafts, CSV exports and restorable project backups.
Will it tell me what clients must pay?
No. You supply your assumptions and decide what your agreement includes. Estimates, approval drafts and logs do not create legal obligations or authorize an invoice.
Can I use the paid tool on my iPhone?
The paid product is designed for desktop browser use. Native mobile file opening has not been verified. This free page is responsive, but that does not establish compatibility for the downloadable tool.
Will it guarantee better profits?
No. It makes your modeled costs and time visible. Your estimates, clients, execution and agreements determine the result. There are no invented savings figures or customer testimonials here.
Where do my demo inputs go?
They stay in this tab. There is no app-level form submission, tracking script, cookie or local-storage save on this page. Hosting infrastructure may maintain normal request logs. Your optional downloaded check is a plain-text file on your device.
Make the next revision conversation concrete.
