About ScopeGuard

ScopeGuard is a revolutionary tool designed to protect freelancers from the financial losses incurred due to unbilled scope changes. Every year, freelancers lose over $5,000 on average because of scope creep—unanticipated work that clients request beyond the initial agreement. ScopeGuard addresses this issue head-on by providing a streamlined process for managing project scopes and ensuring that freelancers get paid for every hour they work. This tool is particularly beneficial for independent contractors and freelancers who often juggle multiple clients and projects. By integrating seamlessly with popular web-based tools, ScopeGuard empowers users to verify whether client requests align with their contracts in real-time, allowing them to take proactive measures in managing their workload and finances. With ScopeGuard, freelancers can confidently navigate scope changes, log additional work, and send invoices, making it an indispensable asset for anyone looking to safeguard their revenue streams.
