My take on SideTracking

The effective hourly rate feature is what separates this from every other invoicing tracker. Most freelancers know their day rate. Almost none of them know their actual rate after materials, tools, software subscriptions, and unpaid revision rounds are factored out. SideTracking surfaces that number automatically — and for a lot of people, the first time they see it will be the most uncomfortable thing they've read all month.

That discomfort is the content. The tweet that works isn't "track your freelance income." It's a real scenario: you charged $500, it took 7 hours, you spent $95 on stuff, your real rate was $58/hr. Show the math. Then show the tool. Side hustle Twitter shares that kind of post endlessly because it names a pain most freelancers quietly carry but haven't actually measured.

Free up to 20 jobs/month is exactly the right call. The first month of actually tracking your rates changes how you price forever — you'll stop undercharging clients without even realising you're doing it. The product earns its upgrade fee the moment someone sees their real number.

Most freelancers don't know their real hourly rate. You charge $500 for a job. It takes 6 hours. Materials: $80. Tools: $20. That's $66/hr — not the $83 you thought. SideTracking calculates your effective rate automatically. Free up to 20 jobs/mo. sidetracking.app

SideTracking shows you one number that changes everything: Your effective hourly rate per job. Some clients are $120/hr. Some are $35/hr. You're probably taking too many of the $35 ones. See the breakdown at sidetracking.app

What if you could instantly see which clients are worth it? SideTracking tracks actual profit per job: revenue − expenses − time = net profit + effective rate. Monthly summaries. The math is brutal. So is not knowing it.

Built a profit tracker for service businesses because spreadsheets show you revenue. They don't show you if you're actually making money. SideTracking: net profit per job, effective hourly rate, pending payments. One dashboard. Free for 20 jobs/mo.

Hot take: most side hustlers work harder than a salaried job and make less per hour. You just can't see it because you're not tracking it properly. SideTracking fixes this. Net profit. Effective rate. Monthly summaries. Free to start. sidetracking.app
