ScopeGuard - Stop losing money to scope creep. Get paid for every hour.

by
ScopeGuard is the only tool built specifically to protect freelancer and agency revenue from scope creep. While project management tools help you organize work, ScopeGuard focuses on what happens when the work changes — tracking every out-of-scope request, calculating unbilled hours, getting client approval before extra work begins, and generating invoices for everything that falls outside the original agreement. It connects your contract directly to your time, your tasks, and your client com

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Madhu here, solo founder of ScopeGuard. Honestly, this came from frustration - both my own and watching it happen to others. I've spent years at startups and SaaS companies, and one thing I kept seeing was talented freelancers and agencies doing incredible work but constantly getting shortchanged. Not because clients were bad people, but because there was no system. Requests crept in, hours piled up unbilled, and by the time invoice day came the conversation was already awkward. I built ScopeGuard to fix that. Import your contract, track tasks and time against your original scope, check any client request instantly with AI, and send scope changes for client approval before doing the work. The Chrome extension lets you right-click any client message in Gmail, Slack, or any web tool to check if it's in scope - without leaving the page. The approach evolved a lot. I originally thought the core feature was the AI scope checker, but talking to users I realized the bigger pain was simply having no paper trail at all. So I built the full workflow - import scope, track time, log changes, get client approval, generate invoices - so nothing falls through the cracks. Still a solo founder, still building. 14-day free trial, no credit card required. Would love your feedback - and happy to answer any questions from anyone who's dealt with scope creep firsthand!
