Description

Ascend consolidates five essential workflows that agencies engage in weekly—forms, databases, pages, time tracking, and invoicing—into a single workspace. Rather than relying on multiple platforms like Notion, Tally, Calendly, Toggl, and FreshBooks, you can manage the entire client lifecycle within one unified system that maintains consistent data throughout. When a client fills out an intake form, the information is directly entered into your database. Each entry is accessible as a comprehensive page containing notes, files, sub-tasks, and a built-in timer for tracking purposes. Hours logged seamlessly contribute to an invoice created from that same entry, eliminating the need for CSV exports or the hassle of copy-pasting between different applications. This platform caters specifically to independent consultants and small agency studios that charge on an hourly basis or a retainer model. You can begin with a free tier, and then choose between the Solo plan at $19 per month or the Studio plan at $49 per month, both of which come with no additional fees for extra users. Additionally, there’s a 30-day free trial available for paid plans, requiring no credit card for sign-up, allowing you to explore its features risk-free.
