Scope is intentionally opinionated. That means it works extremely well in some cases — and not at all in others.
Freelance, consulting, agency — work with external clients is your core.
Clear boundaries matter to you. Scope creep is something you actively manage.
You want a system that works out of the box, not one you have to design yourself.
Decision fatigue is real. You want the tool to handle the small stuff.
1-10 people. Everyone wears multiple hats. You need calm, not enterprise.
If this sounds like you, Scope will probably feel calm and obvious.
Scope handles invoicing, not bookkeeping.
Built for small teams, not departments.
Opinionated by design. Not infinitely configurable.
Clients see progress. They don't manage the board.
Structure over configuration, every time.
That's not a failure — it's a signal.
We'd rather you use the right tool than use Scope poorly.
Accounting, invoicing, and financial reporting. Wave shines once the work is already done — it picks up where Scope leaves off.
Large teams, multiple departments, complex workflows and permissions. These tools excel at coordination at scale — a different problem than what Scope solves.
Standalone time tracking with minimal overhead. If you only need a timer and reports, Toggl is excellent at exactly that.
Scope is for people who want clear intent, calm execution, and work that stays inside its boundaries.
If that's not you, that's okay. We built this for a specific kind of work — and we'd rather be honest about it.
