Tips

  • Freelance HQ is for your own freelance jobs and business records, it lives alongside the assignments agencies dispatch to you, and both feed one combined earnings picture.
  • The Overview numbers refresh automatically as you log new jobs, so you always see current totals.
  • Earnings totals count completed work; jobs still scheduled in the future aren't included until they happen.
  • Pricing: logging jobs, your schedule, and your earnings are always free. Premium, marked with a ✦ throughout the app, covers the invoice builder, Schedule C tax export, CEU tracker, travel assistance, and publishing your public portfolio. It is $15/month or $120/year with a 30-day free trial. Subscribe from Profile → Freelance HQ, and manage or cancel anytime via "Manage billing."
  • On iPhone and iPad, Premium is billed through your Apple subscription rather than by us, so cancel it in your app store settings. Deleting your OneTerp account does not cancel it.
  • Complimentary (waived) accounts keep full Premium access without a subscription, your Profile shows a "Complimentary" badge. Once Premium is active or waived, the ✦ markers disappear.
