Positioning	All-in-one business management for freelancers (contracts + invoicing + time tracking + CRM + tax). Positioned as the alternative to running Bonsai + QuickBooks + HelloSign separately. Distinctive for bundling the freelance stack into one subscription. Priced $25-$79/mo across three tiers (annual). Popular with independent consultants, designers, and creators who bill 3-20 clients but hate juggling separate tools for contracts, invoicing, and accounting.	Merchant-of-record platform for creators selling digital products (courses, ebooks, memberships). Positioned as the alternative to Stripe + Teachable + Podia for solo creators who want one tool to sell + deliver + handle tax. Distinctive for its 10% flat fee (no monthly subscription) that appeals to sellers just starting out. Founded by ex-Pinterest designer Sahil Lavingia (bootstrapped, transparently profitable). Popular with course creators, indie writers, and design assets sellers.
