Custom projects get lost between email, Drive and invoices

The scope is in a PDF, feedback is in email threads, files are in Drive and the invoice is somewhere else. Clients ask for updates, and nobody knows how the hours compare to the estimate.

ManyRequests gives every project one place for scope, feedback, files and billing.

How it works

From first request to paid invoice

1

Quote and take a deposit

Send a custom invoice for the deposit, paid by card.

2

Plan it as requests

Split the project into requests with checklists, due dates and custom fields.

3

Review in rounds

Clients give feedback on each version and sign off on every part.

4

Deliver and invoice

Files stay in the portal; send the final invoice when you launch.

Quotes & invoices

Deposits and final invoices

Create custom invoices for a deposit and the final payment, with your billing details, taxes and notes. Clients pay by card through your Stripe.
