Roadbase

Roadbase reads a client brief or email and drafts an editable project roadmap with phases, tasks, hours and a price, which you review and send as a proposal. It is built for freelancers and creative agencies such as design studios, software consultancies and video producers.

The plan appears on a visual timeline where tasks can be dragged, and costs, overhead and margin update as you change it. Rate cards and hourly pricing feed the quote, and the Studio plan adds AI estimates for project pricing and expenses.

Once a client approves, the work moves to a simple Kanban board with comments, and time tracking by task and role shows how actual hours compare with the estimate. Free calculators on the site cover hourly floors, rate increases, margins and video editing time.
