## Quick verdict

Choose Moxie if you want a low-cost freelancer suite with proposals, contracts, payments, a pipeline, a scheduler, and mobile apps.

## Where Moxie wins

Moxie is the better choice in these areas:

- The lowest entry price of the tools compared here.
- Proposals, contracts, payments, a pipeline, and a scheduler on every plan.
- A flat Teams price for up to five people.
- Native mobile apps and Zapier, Make, and QuickBooks connections on Pro and above.

## Where Flopinio fits better

Flopinio is built around one trail: an inbound client request, the tasks it became, the time tracked on them, and the invoice drafted from that time. Inbound sources (Slack, Telegram, Jira, Zoho Mail, ProtonMail Bridge) feed a review inbox, AI triage and reviews produce output you apply yourself, decisions can be signed off by the client in an authenticated portal, and an MCP connector (Beta) lets Claude and other AI clients read context and stage writes that wait for review.

- Jira assigned-issue import and Slack context for technical client work.
- Time tracked on tasks that came from client requests.
- Decisions with client sign-off.
- A free plan for one client.

## Price examples

For one person: Moxie Starter is USD 12/month (Pro USD 25); Flopinio is free for one client or USD 14.99/month on Pro for unlimited clients and one member. For three people, Moxie Teams is USD 40/month; Flopinio Team is USD 49.99/month with five members included. Moxie Starter has the lower listed paid entry price; Flopinio also has a Free plan. Check both pricing pages before you decide; prices change.

## Switching notes

Flopinio imports projects and tasks from CSV files with a mapping preview. Proposals, contracts, payment processing, and pipeline data have no equivalent in Flopinio.

## A note from the founder

If price and breadth are your priority, Moxie is hard to beat and I would tell a friend so. Flopinio is for the freelancer whose real cost is context: requests in five places, work that never becomes an invoice line, and clients asking what was agreed. Try both with one real client before you commit.
