Price + boundaries
The problem
A reason to exist.
Independent professionals often send a project number without making the boundaries equally visible. Ambiguous inclusions, exclusions, revision limits, and payment timing leave room for avoidable scope creep.
Product thinking
Make the complex
more usable.
BriefRate pairs a transparent project-price calculation with a concise, client-ready scope summary. It stays deliberately small: one private offline file, no account, and no subscription.
Inside the work
Define the edges
Capture the outcome, included work, exclusions, revision policy, and payment timing together.
Communicate clearly
Copy or print a client-ready summary to use alongside the user's own agreement.
Keep details private
Run the tool locally in a browser; project inputs do not need to leave the device.
