We take you from a project brief to getting paid.
Otterdeck is the proposal-to-payment tool for freelancers, consultants and agencies. You describe a project; we turn it into a proposal that wins the work — and then help you invoice it and get paid. That's the whole job.
Independent professionals do exceptional work and then lose it at the last step: the proposal. We're here to close that gap — to make a solo freelancer look like a top firm, price with confidence, and spend less time on paperwork and more on the work that pays.
Most freelancers underprice. They guess at rates, anchor to whatever they charged last time, and send slow, inconsistent proposals built from an old template at 11pm. Good work loses to whoever replied first with something that looked professional. The talent was never the problem. The proposal was.
Describe a client and a project, and Otterdeck writes the proposal in three priced versions — Conservative, Recommended and Premium — each with scope, timeline, line-item pricing, a payment schedule, terms and optional add-ons, so the client chooses up instead of negotiating you down. Share a live client link or a branded PDF; clients view, and accept or decline, with no account required. You see when they open it, track your win rate, and turn the accepted proposal into an invoice — in any of 14 currencies — right through to paid. And before any of that, Rate Deck, our free rate calculator, helps you work out what to charge in the first place.
