New tool coming - finally, no more budgets in broken spreadsheets ⛓️💥
2nd drop for Pro members on the way, early access, and what's coming next
Our next tool
A quick, concise update on what we're building.
We have a new product coming soon that lets photographers, producers, creative directors, agents—basically anyone creating shoots—price out jobs and finally get out of Excel.

Just like with the Usage and Day Rate Calculators, it was built for me first. Now I want to give it to you.
This new budget-building to is going to be part of our current Pro membership, and we're rolling it out slowly as we test everything. But if this sounds interesting to you, just reply to this email and we'll make sure you're in the first group to get access.
What's coming
We're also launching a Pro trial soon. Here's what Pro members get:
✓ Unlimited access to Usage Calculator (live)
✓ Unlimited access to Day Rate Calculator (live)
✓ Client-ready PDF downloads to back up your rates (live)
✓ Access to the new Budget Builder (coming soon)
All of these are also being improved every day, and honestly, the feedback we've gotten has been amazing and really constructive. Super grateful for that. : )
Don’t forget your 3 monthly calculations
Since you're on our list, you already get 3 free usage calculations per month—perfect for pricing licensing on your shoots. And if you need to calculate day rates for specific projects, that's available with Pro membership along with unlimited usage calculations.

We’ve also made a few updates to make our tools a bit more legible 💜 ✅
Simple ask
More tools are coming that we're super super excited about. If they excite you too, just send us a quick reply and we'll get them to you first thing when they're ready.
Thanks for all the support, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions.
Thanks as always,
