Who is Go Lancer for?

For anyone with a few clients, too much admin, and no clear picture of the money.

Motion & graphic designers

Files, revisions, hours. All on the project, one click to invoice.

Copywriters & writers

Pitches and drafts sit with each client. You always know who still owes you.

Solo entrepreneurs & busy founders

Clients, time and money in one place. No more guessing what came in.

Starting freelancers

New to this? We show you how to invoice, price, and stay on top of it.

Also great for illustrators, photographers, videographers, marketers, teachers, coaches, therapists, developers, and anyone billing more than one client.
Freelancing from your part of the world 🌍 ? Any of this sound like you?
What they told us

100+ conversations. One story kept coming back.

Freelancers love their work. The admin, the tools, the follow-ups, they said, quietly eat their week. So we listened, then built.

Admin is the biggest frustration. Starting new projects, onboarding, responding to emails, invoices, timesheets. Every day the same thing.
Esther, freelancer
When I use a tool, I want it simple and clean. Not crowded, not too many colors. My work is already busy enough.
Fatma, designer
I keep everything in a Google Sheet, and I still lose track of clients in my own database. I'd just want nudge notifications.
Jevian, freelancer
I want all my information in one space. A real central hub, not folders spread across five apps.
Vlad, freelancer
Between plans, client emails, and chasing payments, my day disappears. I need a tool that structures the work for me.
Idunnu, copywriter
I don't love invoices, they take time. If follow-ups went out automatically as reminders, that would be huge.
Chelsey, writer

How Go Lancer works

Three steps to a calmer back office.

The first ten minutes replace your spreadsheet, your invoicing app, and the calendar reminders you keep snoozing.

1

Add your clients in a batch.

Paste from your address book or import a CSV. Their currency, tax ID and preferred contact stay attached.

  • I've always loved putting things out on the internet and making something for people. At 15, I put together a collection of quotes from famous people on Apple Books: 25,000+ downloads in Czech, 8,000+ in English. Czech Β· English
  • My designs on Redbubble. Visit the store
Hey, freelancer πŸ‘‹

Full disclosure: I've never been a freelancer. I'm a neuroscience grad who fell in love with product and with talking to customers. I've been making things for people on the internet since I was 15: my first one, a collection of quotes, was downloaded by more than 33,000 people.

I ran 100+ interviews with freelancers before writing a line of code, designers, writers, developers, illustrators, motion people. The same story kept coming back: they love the work, and the admin is quietly eating their evenings, their weekends, and sometimes their sanity. So I built the tool they kept describing. πŸ’™πŸ‘©β€πŸ’»

Go Lancer is what came out of those conversations:

  • One place that knows every client, project, task, invoice and hour you've tracked.
  • Reminders that write themselves, in your voice, under your name, on the days you pick.
  • A dashboard that answers "where do I stand right now" instead of showing forty numbers you didn't ask for.

I ship publicly. The roadmap is on the app. When you email me about a feature, it's me reading it, usually within a day.

Turns out, that's how I became a freelancer myself. And a product manager. Of my own product.

"I'm not the freelancer. But I listened to a lot of them. Go Lancer is what they asked for."

The questions people ask before signing up

Awkward questions, honest answers.

How is Go Lancer different from FreshBooks or Bonsai?

FreshBooks is a small-agency accounting tool with time tracking as a paid add-on. Bonsai is a proposal / contract / invoicing tool for teams that want white-labeling. Go Lancer is built around one honest workflow: track work β†’ send invoice β†’ the app chases the client β†’ the dashboard tells you if you'll make rent. No team seats, no proposals module, no pricey add-ons.

Also: half the price, EU-based, and the founder reads support herself.

Can I import my clients from a CSV or Google Contacts?

Yes. Upload a CSV or Excel file, paste a Google Sheets link, or bring your clients over from HubSpot or Notion. Tracked time comes over from Toggl, Clockify or Harvest.

Do auto-reminders work in Czech, German, French, or only English?

The template is yours, so you write it in any language you want. We fill in the placeholders (client name, amount, due date) in whatever language they're stored. Common templates come pre-written in English, Czech, German, French, Spanish, and Polish.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Your data stays yours. You can export everything (clients, invoices, time entries, notes) as CSV or ZIP at any time, before, during, or after cancellation. We hold cancelled account data for 30 days in case you come back, then hard-delete unless you ask us not to.

Is there a mobile app?

Not yet. Go Lancer runs as a PWA today, so you can install it on your phone in one tap and use it like a native app: timer, quick note, mark-paid, send-reminder. Dedicated iOS and Android apps are on our roadmap. The full dashboard stays web-first because that's where freelancers do their real invoicing.

My client's currency isn't in the list. What happens?

We support 40+ currencies using daily ECB rates, everything from USD, EUR, GBP and CZK to INR, BRL, JPY, ZAR, VND, KES and more. For anything not listed, you can add it manually and set the rate, you'll get a warning in the dashboard so cross-currency totals don't lie to you.

What if the client's clueless client-side email hides my reminder in spam?

Reminders go out from Go Lancer's own sending domain, with SPF and DKIM set up, so inboxes can check they're genuine. Your client sees your name as the sender, and when they hit reply, the email comes straight to you.

Is my client data GDPR-safe?

Your clients' data is yours: download all of it or delete your account any time from My Account. We never sell data, and only a few providers help us run Go Lancer (hosting, Stripe for payments, email delivery). Our data processing terms for your clients' data are part of the Terms. Built by a Czech founder, so GDPR isn't an afterthought. Full details in the Privacy Policy.

Can invoices carry my own branding?

Yes, on every plan. Add your logo and pick an invoice design in My Account. Invoices go to your client as a PDF attached to the email, so there's no Go Lancer link for them to open.

Do you offer refunds if it doesn't work for me?

14-day money-back guarantee, no questions. If you don't get paid at least once thanks to a Go Lancer reminder in your first month, email me. I'll refund you.
