Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from consultants

Which plan is best for independent consultants?

The Professional plan ($49/month) is perfect for most consultants. It includes unlimited time tracking, invoicing, online payments, and e-signatures for proposals and contracts. You can manage unlimited clients and projects.

Can I show detailed time breakdowns to clients?

Yes! Invoices can show itemised time entries with descriptions of what work was performed each day. This transparency helps clients understand exactly what they're paying for and reduces billing questions.

How quickly can I create an invoice?

Once you've tracked your time, creating an invoice takes about 2 minutes. Select the time period, choose the client, confirm the rate, and Payly generates a professional invoice ready to send. Most consultants report it takes 10-15 minutes total to invoice all their clients each month.

Are e-signatures included?

E-signatures are included in the Business Plus plan ($199/month) with unlimited signature requests. This is perfect for consultants who regularly send engagement letters, SOWs, and NDAs for signature.

Can I track billable vs non-billable time separately?

Yes! Mark time entries as billable or non-billable when logging them. This helps you understand how much time you're spending on admin vs revenue-generating client work, and only billable time appears on invoices.

How does online payment processing work?

Payly integrates with Stripe for credit card payments. Clients click the "Pay Now" button on their invoice and pay instantly. Stripe charges 1.75% + $0.30 AUD for Australian cards. Payly doesn't add any additional fees.
