Best fit
Best for: Consultants managing multi-phase engagements with multiple stakeholders.
Why pick it: Strong free tier (up to 10 users) covers most solo and small-team needs. Portfolio view lets you track all client engagements in one place.
Watch for: If your projects are simple (3-5 tasks), a shared Notion doc is lighter. Asana shines when you have 10+ tasks with dependencies and deadlines.
Best for: Consultants outside Israel who bill international clients and want card or bank payments on every invoice.
Why pick it: No subscription: you pay a small percentage only when an invoice is paid, and clients can pay by card or bank transfer in their own currency.
Watch for: Not available to businesses registered in Israel. No time tracking, proposals or accounting; pair it with an accounting tool or use FreshBooks or Zoho Invoice instead.
