Independent work runs on five subscriptions and a spreadsheet.
Freelancers and small studios lose real hours to the business side of the work: a proposal in one tool, hours in another, invoices in a third, and payments chased by email. Nothing talks to anything, so the same numbers get retyped every month.
- Freelancers sending their first invoices, who need something simple and free to start
- Small studios juggling several projects and currencies at once
- Agencies running teams, retainers and budgets
Velo is built by a studio that quotes, invoices and chases payments every month. The problems it solves - GST on every line, clients in other currencies, invoices nobody opens - are ones we had first-hand.
One workspace, from the first quote to money in the bank.
Describe the job in a sentence - in English, Hindi or Hinglish, typed or spoken - and get back a finished proposal or invoice to check, change and send.
One page for your bio or footer. A stranger answers twelve questions, and it lands as a client on your books with a proposal already drafted from their words.
Clients open a live document with payment options instead of a PDF attachment, and you can see the moment they opened it. Recurring invoices send themselves, with automatic reminders.
Bring your own checkout - Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal or Wise - or a UPI intent that opens prefilled with the amount and invoice number. Payment happens at your provider, so card details never touch Velo.
CGST and SGST or IGST by place of supply, HSN and SAC per line, and a printed breakdown that always sums to the total.
Client portals with approvals and messaging, built-in timers on every task, and receipt capture with live FX conversion. Velo flags what needs attention - a proposal unopened for nine days, hours tracked but never billed, an invoice about to age past thirty.
A finance tool that doesn't feel like one.
- Marketing site - Webflow, on Vercel
- Payments - Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal, Wise and UPI, through your own accounts
- Developers - REST API, webhooks for every event, SDK examples in JavaScript, Python and cURL
- Invoices are links, not attachments, so the client always sees the current version and you see when they open it
- Built for India from day one - UPI, GST and Hinglish - without leaving out international clients
- No cut of your invoices on any plan; pricing is a flat subscription
- Branded documents with presets, layouts, fonts and your own colours, redrawn live as you choose
