Questions about Freelysta

About Freelysta

What is Freelysta?

Freelysta is freelancer management software: one workspace for clients, projects, payments, GST invoices, service agreements, client chat and video meetings. It is built in India for independent freelancers, consultants and small studios who currently juggle spreadsheets, WhatsApp and separate invoicing apps.

Who is Freelysta for?

Freelancers and solo consultants who run their own client work: developers, designers, writers, marketers, video editors and similar. It also suits two- or three-person studios. Clients you work with can be invited to see the projects, invoices and messages you share with them.

Who built Freelysta?

Freelysta was founded by Karan Dixit, a freelancer who built it after years of running client work out of spreadsheets and losing track of renewals and payments. It is made in India.

Is Freelysta a freelance marketplace like Upwork or Fiverr?

No. Freelysta does not take a commission and is not where you find gigs. It is the tool you use to run the clients you already have, wherever you found them: tracking projects, getting paid, sending invoices and agreements, and talking to clients.

How is Freelysta different from a spreadsheet or Notion template?

Each client, project, payment, invoice and agreement is linked, so you can see what you are owed and by whom without maintaining formulas. It also does things a template cannot: GST tax calculation, PDF invoices, e-signed agreements, renewal reminders, client chat and video calls.

What are good alternatives to Freelysta?

Common alternatives are Zoho Invoice, Vyapar or myBillBook for invoicing only, Bonsai or HoneyBook for international freelancers, and Notion or spreadsheets for a do-it-yourself setup. Freelysta is the option that combines client and project management with GST-ready invoicing in INR.

Features

What can I do with Freelysta?

Manage clients and projects with budgets and deadlines, record payments and see what is pending, create GST invoices, draft and e-sign service agreements, track domains and hosting with renewal dates, chat with clients, run video calls with shared notes, share a freelancer card, and ask Freelancer Buddy, the built-in AI assistant.

Does Freelysta create GST invoices?

Yes. Freelysta works out CGST and SGST for a client in the same state, or IGST for a different state, from the two GSTINs. Invoices include the amount in words and download as a PDF. You can add your logo and brand colour.

Is there a free invoice generator I can use without an account?

Yes. The Freelysta invoice generator at freelysta.com/tools/invoice-generator is free, needs no sign-up, adds no watermark and has no limit. It supports GST and 8 currencies and downloads a PDF.

Can I create contracts or service agreements?

Yes. Freelysta can draft a service agreement with AI from your project details, let you edit the clauses, and send it to the client to sign electronically. Every signed agreement is kept with the project.

Does Freelysta track payments and send reminders?

Yes. Record each payment against its project to see paid versus pending amounts and earnings over time. You can share UPI payment links and QR codes. Smart payment reminders are part of the upcoming Pro plan.

Can my clients see project progress?

Yes. Invite a client by link and they get their own view of the projects, invoices, agreements and messages you share with them. Clients do not see your other clients or anything you have not shared.

Does Freelysta have video calls?

Yes. Freelysta Meet runs video calls in the browser or the Android app. The host controls a waiting room, and notes taken during the call are saved with the meeting.

What is Freelancer Buddy?

Freelancer Buddy is the AI assistant inside Freelysta. You can ask it about your projects and payments, create clients, projects and resources by chatting instead of filling forms, draft client messages, and get help pricing a job.

Can I track domains, hosting and software renewals?

Yes. The Resources section records domains, hosting, servers, email and licences with their renewal dates and costs, and flags anything about to expire so a client site does not go down.

Does Freelysta support time tracking?

Not yet. Time tracking is on the roadmap. Today Freelysta tracks projects, budgets and payments rather than hours.

Pricing and plans

Is Freelysta free?

Yes. The Starter plan is free and needs no credit card. It includes clients, projects, payments, invoices, agreements, chat and video calls, with limits on how many clients, projects and resources you can add.

What does Freelysta Pro add?

Pro is coming soon. It removes the client, project and resource limits and adds smart payment reminders, branded invoices with custom charges, advanced agreement clauses, 500 MB uploads, the document vault, higher Freelancer Buddy limits, a Pro badge on your freelancer card and priority support.

Freelysta prices its plans in Indian rupees (INR). Invoices you send to your own clients can be in any of 8 currencies.

Yes. Anyone can sign up and invoices support 8 currencies. Freelysta is designed around Indian freelancers, though, so features like GST calculation and INR pricing matter most there.
