Built for freelancers and small agencies handling client changes

Stop small client changes from becoming unpaid work.

Compare the client’s new request with the work already agreed. Review the likely extra effort, prepare clear client choices and record the decision before more work begins.

The problem

"One small change" rarely stays small.

A request such as “add user login” can also require account recovery, user roles, billing states, dashboards, admin controls and more testing. ScopePaid helps make the added work visible before it begins.

Client asks

Add login

This may also require

  • account recovery
  • user roles
  • subscription states
  • billing screens
  • dashboard
  • admin controls
  • testing
  • more revisions

Why not only AI chat

AI can draft an answer. ScopePaid manages the whole decision.

Generic AI assistant

  • Gives a temporary response
  • Does not know locked scope unless you supply it
  • Does not maintain project history
  • Does not publish secure client choices
  • Does not record a final client decision
  • Does not manage links or notifications

ScopePaid

  • Saves the agreed scope
  • Compares the new request
  • Provides editable AI assistance
  • Prepares client choices
  • Sends secure approval pages
  • Records decisions
  • Preserves project history

ScopePaid uses AI as one optional step inside a structured workflow.
