The agreement stays visible
Pages, revisions, deliverables, hours and price recorded once — the reference every later request is measured against.
For freelance web designers
Stop losing money to scope creep.
ScopeGuard helps freelance web designers track what was agreed — pages, revisions, deliverables and hours — against what the client actually asks for. So you spot extra work while you can still charge for it.
Free plan for 2 projects. No credit card.

2 requests are outside the agreed scope. "One more landing page" and "a fourth round of edits" — worth 6.5 extra hours.

Sound familiar?
The project you quoted isn't the project you're building.
Scope creep rarely arrives as one big request. It arrives as five small ones.
- “Can you just add one more page?”
- “Just a few small tweaks” — for the fifth time
- A two-week project that has quietly run five weeks
- No idea which requests you should have charged for
- The original agreement buried somewhere in an email thread
Each one feels too small to argue about. Together they're a week of unpaid work and a project that earns half what you quoted.
How ScopeGuard helps
Everything you agreed to, next to everything they've asked for.
One place per project, so “that’s extra” is a fact you can point at instead of an awkward guess.
Revisions you can count
Log each round as it happens. When round four arrives, you can say exactly why it's extra.
Every request in one list
Log what the client asks for and mark it included or extra. Nothing gets lost in Slack or email.
Extra work becomes billable
Attach a price to out-of-scope requests, so extra work turns into an invoice line instead of a favour.
Estimated vs actual hours
See how the real time spent compares with what you quoted, while there's still time to react.
Know what you really earn
Your effective hourly rate updates as you work, so a losing project stops being a surprise at the end.
How it works
Three steps. About two minutes to set up.
Set your project scope
Pages, revisions, deliverables, estimated hours and your price. Takes about two minutes.
Track revisions and client requests
Log requests and rounds of edits as they come in, or let the client send them through a portal link.
Know when you're doing extra work
ScopeGuard flags the moment a project passes what was agreed — so you can charge for it or say no.
Inside a project
One screen tells you if this project is still worth it.
Revisions used, extra requests, hours tracked and your real hourly rate — updated as you work.

Less unpaid work. Fewer awkward conversations.
Example quotes shown as placeholders while we collect real customer feedback.
Example
“I used to absorb every “small change”. Now I can see the third revision coming and price it before I start.”
Example
“Half my projects were quietly unprofitable. Seeing my real hourly rate per project changed how I quote.”
Example
“Client requests all live in one list now. When we talk about extra work, we're both looking at the same thing.”
