Run your business.
Not a spreadsheet.
Atelier is a simple back office for freelancers, tradespeople, makers, and small teams of one — clients, projects, professional PDF invoices, expenses, and a dashboard that shows what you earned.
Free: 1 client, 2 invoices/month · Pro: $9/mo unlimited
Built for anyone who bills clients
Whether you shoot weddings, fix pipes, sell candles on Etsy, or consult on the side — you need the same basics: who owes you money, what job it was for, and a clean invoice they can pay. Atelier keeps that in one lightweight app instead of scattered chats, notes, and Excel files.
- Freelancers & consultants
- Designers & creatives
- Handmade & small sellers
- Plumbers & electricians
- Trades & home services
- Any solo service business
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
HoneyBook and full accounting suites are overkill when you just need to invoice clients and stay organized. Excel breaks when you grow. Atelier is the sweet spot: client management, invoicing software, and expense tracking without a steep learning curve.
