October 23, 2023

5.0

This software is perfect... I am satisfied with it

Pros

This software is really awesome, it helped me in various ways.. And one of it was in invoice strategy. The user interface is very intuitive to use without any prior tutorials. This software had already inbuilt ready made templates that you can edit customize to your preferred way. It help me in monitoring of projects process in real time and even track the working hrs of my employees and direct their smooth payments.

Cons

I never encountered and issues while using Clientary

August 6, 2024

5.0

Pros

Clientary has been a life saver since we implemented it 2years ago,from making digital contracts,keeping track of clients projects,billing for time and invoicing it is just a breeze,plus I can add time and billable items to a project or invoice.I also appreciate how user friendly and efficient Clientary is.

Cons

Nothing however you have to integrate in the billing systems yourself but it is easy.

### "Perfect for project management"

November 18, 2023

3.0

Pros

I like the time tracking feature which helps us to generate billing for project. Its very easy to use, simple flexible and comes with wide range of good features which enhance the team productivity.

Cons

I like the tool but there is room for improvement. To load the dashboard it takes sometimes 4-5 minutes which is very annoying.

### "Hands Down the Best Tool for Free-Lancers"

November 8, 2022

5.0

After searching for many tools, I landed on this one. I searched Bonsai, FiverrWorkspace, Toggl, FreeAgent, Harvest, Freshbooks, MotivApp, CushionApp and this one is the overall winner with making the whole workflow super easy. I can easily add a client, create an estimate, client approves the estimate, I think create a project from the estimate, and invoice a retainer on the project, client pays the invoice, I track time and expenses on the project, then invoice the project, client pays invoice, done. It's really smooth going through the entire process. Clientary does it right.

Pros

I've been using Clientary (Ronin) since 2017 and it is hands down the best tool for a freelancer to track time, clients, projects, invoice, and get paid quickly online. I'm in this every single day and find that it makes it so easy to do these day to day tracking items to make sure all work is accounted for and time is paid for. It's an indispensable tool and have yet to find anything out there that does this better.

Cons

The only con and feature I'd love to see added would be more visual stats, reports, dashboard items, etc. For example, take a look at the tool cushionapp.com. I do wish Clientary had some visuals like this, and some better reports/widgets. And with recent updates, I'm a little worried that they might get some "featuritis", where they start adding too many features, and then it no longer becomes a simple tool. I also miss the old name "Ronin" was such a great name, as it means "One without a master" and was so great for freelancers, but I understand the reason for the name change to expand their client base.

Reason for choosing Clientary

All the others seemed very clunky or too many features that made it too complex. Clientary does the essentials effectively.

### "Simple & Efficient Software"

November 8, 2022

5.0

We’ve really enjoyed using Clientary and rely on it daily. We generate quotes, keep track of all of our leads and clients, send out invoices and produce monthly reports to measure how our business is doing.

Pros

We love how easy it is to use Clientary and how quickly one can become proficient with it. It’s a great tool for small businesses and can do as much or as little as you need it to.

Cons

I would love to see a few things switched up in the quoting & invoicing as they relate to active & past projects, but it doesn’t prevent me from using the software

### "Simple, effective, and looks great."

January 17, 2023

4.0

This solved my problem of simple, easy to use proposals and invoices that I could make look exactly how I want them to look. It also tracks expenses and hours worked and makes it easy to bill them on to the client.

Pros

Clientary is super easy to get up and running, with almost zero learning curve. It also looks great from a client perspective straight out of the box. But where this really shines is in the customisability of invoices and proposals. You can literally design anything you want in HTML/CSS and then just drop in tags where you want things displayed. It's amazing!

Cons

The task management is poor and not a replacement for other dedicated PM tools. No custom fields for tasks, no file uploads etc.

Clientary has been one of the best since we started the company in 2005.

### "Perfect software for CRM"

March 18, 2023

5.0

An excellent program, as an important part of project management in our company, at a reasonable price and suitable for everyone.

Pros

A great program for managing CRM operations, we also use it to issue and track invoices, a good program for managing projects in general, including expenses, offers, and others, very suitable for accountants, engineers, and lawyers. It helps in facilitating work and saving time and effort.

Cons

Although this rarely happens, but sometimes the issuance of invoices may take too long. It is preferable to update the program interface. With the addition of new features.

As a product manager that has a lot of clients, managing their projects on an individual basis as been tough.

### "Increased Task, Increased Productivity, Increased Pay! Thanks to Clientary."

November 2, 2023

5.0

Clientary is a complete software suite. It is ideal for managing bids, clients, hours, and projects. As an executive assistant, my job demands the highest level of efficiency and order. To stay productive and provide the best service possible for my clients, I set a limit on the amount of work I could take on each month. However, I was able to expand my job limit with Clientary and still properly deliver to my clients. Managing my projects is a challenge I face as an executive assistant, and Clientary has given me a thorough solution! I take on more work, complete it quickly, and get paid more!

Pros

I track the hours I spend on projects using Clientary. This time-tracking tool is really good. I can simply keep track of my working hours, provide my clients with a timesheet report, and charge them appropriately. Unlike before, we no longer have to dispute over bills!Clientary has an Excellent client management Feauture. I have no trouble keeping track of the details of my many clients. Using clientary has made me a more efficient and well-organized executive assistant. Kudos!

Cons

I enjoy using Clientary. No glitch so far!

### "Microenterprise-friendly; Saves time, effort, and money for microentrepreneurs"

November 18, 2022

4.0

I am able to save time and can allot more time to think on other aspects of my microenterprise thanks to Clientary. I don't have to think of ways to make my proposals pop up, and I love how clients can simply sign documents digitally and we can get working on providing services as soon as possible.

Pros

As a microentrepreneur, I am in-charge of everything in my microenterprise - sales, operations, finances, and everything in between. I don't have the luxury of time in creating and designing forms both online and offline for my services, but Clientary offers me the option to do proposals online, and if they like it, invoicing can follow quickly. It being a web app with no downloads required is also great as it does not require clients to download anything else. Very simple; very effective.

Cons

The limited staff users per plan could have been expanded as the plan went up, but it's understandable as a small team can see how everything else is going on. But I wish the Team Plan had more than 3 staff users able to use.
