⚡ Fastlancer #6: Clockify, the hours you never billed
Justus here. This issue follows one chain: the hours you work, the invoice that proves them, the money that arrives. Most freelancers break it in the middle — they track nothing, then guess. One free workhorse, two picks, one rebuilt guide.
Clockify
Time tracking that stays free, however many people you add
Most time trackers start free and get expensive the moment a second person joins. Clockify does the opposite: unlimited users and unlimited tracking on the free plan, forever, with paid tiers only for the extras like invoicing and scheduling. If you have never tracked your hours, start here — the first honest week is usually a shock.

- Finom — for when the money finally arrives: a business account with invoicing built in, so the payment and the paperwork live in the same place.
