FAQ
What are freelancer client tools?
All-in-one or stacked apps for proposals, contracts, invoices, CRM, client portals, and payments — HoneyBook, Dubsado, Bonsai, Moxie, Indy, and similar. ListCost verifies published prices and fee text; we never invent cells.
What happened to AND.CO / Fiverr Workspace?
AND.CO (Fiverr Workspace) shut down on 2026-03-01. Freelancers are migrating to Indy, Bonsai, Moxie, Wave, and others — see our AND.CO alternatives page.
How does the yearly calculator work?
Pick a tool, seats, and billing cadence for software cost. Optionally enter yearly payment volume to estimate processing fees when the vendor publishes a % rate (e.g. HoneyBook card fees). Estimates assume a $200 average invoice when a flat per-txn fee is published.
Why are some fees “Not listed”?
Many client tools use Stripe or similar and do not publish a single markup on their marketing pricing page. We refuse to invent a rate — Not listed means check the live vendor page or in-app settings.
