About

I’m Alexander, the solo builder behind ScopeOrNope. I built it for freelancers and contractors who deal with client change requests, revision limits, and scope creep. The product helps you define project scope, add deliverables, list excluded work, classify client requests, and write a response you can actually send. I’m looking for feedback from people who do fixed-scope client work and have had a project slowly turn into 3 projects wearing the same invoice.

One week in. Here's what's already changed.

The only demo on the listing is a mobile clip showing one feature.

So I made a proper one: full desktop, full flow, 3.5 minutes.

Here is the link to the new demo.

ScopeOrNope - Client change request? Scope or nope.

Freelancers lose money on scope creep because they hesitate in the moment. ScopeOrNope gives you a structured answer fast. Submit a client's change request. Get a classification: In Scope, Out of Scope, or Unclear. Get a ready-to-send response in the tone you choose: friendly, firm, concise. Track revision rounds against your limits. See scope risk across all active projects. Override the classifier when your judgment says otherwise. AI classification and response refinement on Pro.
