A flexible and capable CRM & invoicing tool

Overall, I've found Indy to be a pretty capable all-around CRM, time tracker, contract manager, and invoice creation solution. The beauty of Indy is how all-in-one it is. Instead of having to pay for multiple subscriptions, I can just use Indy and have access to all of the features I need. This alone is a big time and money savings.

Pros:

I love how all-in-one Indy is. Instead of having to purchase or pay subscriptions for multiple software solutions, I can just use Indy and have access to a CRM, invoicing and payment platform, time tracking tool, contract manager/creator, and more. I also like that I don't have to learn multiple software platforms and bounce between them. This is a huge time savings when I am trying to meet a project deadline.

Cons:

Some features of Indy are paywalled behind a higher tier. While this is not a dealbreaker when using the software, some more advanced features such as time tracking and time tracking invoice integration are not available to entry-level users.

Reasons for choosing Indy

None of the other software solutions out there seemed as all-encompassing as Indy did. Also, pricing for many of these less capable software platforms was higher, thus increasing the barrier to entry.

Pros:

It's incredibly simple to create custom invoices. The task management feature is great for individual freelancers. Easy to create contracts with little effort Comes with time tracking and proposal creation features Great for a freelancer who wants to look professional, but lacks the team to do it

Cons:

The project management feature only allows for two views It doesn't integrate well with its own calendar Cannot schedule tasks by time without significant effort Contact creation features feel unusually rigid Not ideal to manage a team of freelancers

Reasons for switching to Indy

Because Trello and ClickUp don't include freelancer-driven features like invoicing and contract creation.

Hi Eli, we're happy to hear that you found Indy easy to use and that you are enjoying Invoices. Thanks for the feedback on where we can improve!

Pros:

It’s a place where creatives can organize and manage things/business aspects that are typically hard to manage all in one place. Also I like that they lowered the price because it doesn’t really offer ALL of the features of business management that other software offers.

Cons:

It’s too basic…lacks in important areas like accounting, exporting documentation, client management…these areas aren’t fully developed. Makes tracking difficult come tax time… can’t customize things… also you can’t integrate Indy with other business management tools

Reasons for choosing Indy

Hi Marissa, thank you for taking the time to leave us all this great feedback. We're glad to hear that our all-in-one productivity tool has been helpful in keeping your business organized. We also appreciate the feedback, it's important to know where we can grow. We built our tool to be simple and lightweight but we are working on expanding our feature set to provide more robust tools. I've shared your feedback with the team and we look forward to introducing you to these new features in the future.

Indy review

Indy has been a huge help to me as a new business owner. The contracts alone were worth every penny of this software. I could not have launched a new business without the help that Indy gave me. It saved me a ton of time that I could use to concentrate on my business content.

Functionality

Pros:

Indy is a fantastic and affordable program to assist small business owners with keeping track of projects, invoices, time, and customer information. I would highly recommend this program for anyone looking for a one stop shop to help with business needs.

Cons:

The only piece of Indy that I think needs some rethinking would be the manual time tracker. It is a lot of scrolling can lead to mistakes with input which then gives false reporting on time. Being able to enter the numbers or after you enter the initial time, giving a close approximate on the second time entry would make it more user friendly.

Reasons for choosing Indy

Google Workspace did not offer what Indy does in contracts and time tracking. It is definitely much less user friendly

Vendor Response

Hi Carrie, it's great to hear that Indy's all-in-one productivity tool has helped your new business, especially with contracts since those are so important to protect you and your business.

Reasons for switching to Indy

Wave was similar but lacked contracts at the time. Honeybook was a little too robust for me. The learning curve was huge. I wish Indy would improve their features to compete with these platforms while retaining that low annual price. These other platforms are very expensive and that was another reason I switched.

Vendor Response

Hi Evan, we're happy to hear that Indy has helped streamline contract and invoice creation for your business. Also, thanks for the valuable feedback! We're always looking for ways to improve the ability to bundle documents (sending contracts with invoices attached) (bundled documents) and auto-payments are considerations.

A really great software for contracted small business owners

Overall, Indy has made billing, invoicing, and receiving payments much easier than how I was keeping track of things before. The whole platform has reduced my time spent filing and organizing as well, and it is nice to be able to do lots of things in once place. I was introduced to Indy through User Testing and realized it was a tool I could use for my own business, and since using the Pro version for the past few months the product has only improved. The pricing is wonderful, especially for single small business owners where expenses are a huge concern, and it is definitely worth the price. I would like to see more integration with other products (like Google Drive) so the two main platforms I use can be seamlessly integrated and updated all the time no matter which platform I am in. It is an extremely helpful software and platform that I am very happy I was introduced to, and I am looking forward to future improvements and updates as time goes on.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

Pros:

Invoicing and Billing is the most important part of the so that I use, and the current set-up is very easy to use and saves me lots of time compared to how I kept track of my billable hours before Indy. Different features are easily integrated together, like making existing project tasks and times into tracked time sessions with billing rates. Being able to connect my existing Google calendar (which is what I mainly use to keep track of time slots for tasks) and then being able to further edit and assign tasks later on in Indy is very easy and helpful so I can quickly add tasks on the go or in the field and organize later. Having multiple and interchangeable options for payment has made accepting payments much easier and faster for my clients. Keeping projects, clients, tasks, etc. all organized and grouped together is relatively easy and is easy to do in multiple locations. The app is also great in times that I need to access info on the go or whenever I am not in front of my computer. Overall, I think everything is pretty helpful so far and is always improving.

Cons:

It is sometimes unclear if assigning emails and "types" to people are going to alert them or send them emails when they are added, so having alerts or ways to confirm what is being sent and emailed (or evening having the option to not send anything without approval first) would be very helpful to make sure my clients aren't getting confused with several emails and making them use things that are not needed. When I sent out my first invoice using Indy, it was really difficult to see in preview what the final invoice and how the payment options would be displayed or how my clients would interact with it (I sent a test invoice to myself to understand so I could explain it to my clients if there were questions, but now have an archived invoice in my list that I can't get rid of now). Also, only being able to assign one client to be able to pay invoices is a little frustrating at times (I tend to work with lots of couples), so it would be helpful to have the options to assign multiple clients to be able to pay or view only. I also do not use Indy for my current contract and form templates (but I would really like to) because there is not enough editability or customizable features currently to make the forms/contracts look the way I want. Instead I use Google Suite (docs) to create these and Adobe Sign for client signatures, so it would be great to only have to use one platform to do all of this.

Reasons for choosing Indy

Pricing of other products was very high, there were features included in other products that I would not use, or there were not enough features to be able to use the product for my specific type of work. Indy seemed to be the most user friendly platform for me and my industry and was at an affordable price per month without having to make year-long, up-front commitments before using the product to make sure it was a good fit.

Vendor Response

Emma, we are so incredibly grateful for this review. It's awesome to hear how Indy has helped keep your business organized. It's even better to know where we can improve. I've forwarded all this amazing feedback over to my team for review. We'd love to speak with you further on a few points to get more information. If you're interested, please reach out to support so we can set up some time to review. Regarding sending invoices to multiple recipients with the ability to view/pay, that is something you can do but might not be so clear. When you create an invoice, it makes you select a main recipient. In the setting block to the right of the invoice editor, you can add additional recipients. When you send the invoice, each recipient has the ability to pay the invoice. I'll work with the team to improve this flow. Last, if you ever need anything at all, don't hesitate to send us a message via the in-app chat button.

Best platform for small businesses!

My overall experience with Indy has been incredible. I worked with them when they were still known as Tispr, and even through their entire rebranding, they were super communicative and helpful. I think they're providing freelancers and small business owners with all of the tools they need to be successful. As a user, it's easy to see that the team genuinely cares about helping their customers succeed rather than just collect a subscription fee every month. Using Indy has made it easy to stay on top of the side of business that nobody enjoys (invoicing, contracts, proposals, etc.)

Cons:

Contracts should be a little more detailed in things we can edit. While many important things are provided in templates, there have been times where I have had to copy and paste my contracts into a word document so that I can add or redact certain things. This can be a bit of a grueling task. I also wish the app had more capabilities.

I chose Indy because it gives me everything I need without any confusion. Other programs were either missing aspects necessary for my business or they were not as functional as I needed them to be.

Hi Bruklin, it's truly amazing to hear how Indy helped streamline and organize your business operations. We really appreciate the feedback and love! You actually can edit our contract templates to remove or add text and clauses. The step-by-step wizard helps you fill out the basic contract information. On the last step (either step 3 or 8 depending on which contract you're using), there is a button that will let you fully customize the contract. It is a bit hidden in the process so we'll be sure to find ways to improve that.
