TideFlow
What it is
TideFlow is a web-based task management and profitability platform for service businesses, agencies, and freelancers. It combines tasks, time tracking, billing rates, and financials in one workspace. Users can start one-click timers from tasks, enter time manually, and keep one active timer per person. TideFlow compares cost and billing rates and shows margins for each task, project, and client; account rates can be overridden at client, project, or task level, with the most specific setting used. Project tools include Kanban and list views, priorities, due dates, assignees, custom statuses, checklists, subtasks, and dependencies. Invoices can use uninvoiced billable time and expenses and move through draft, scheduled, sent, paid, and void states. TideFlow states that data is encrypted in transit and at rest, accounts are isolated, and customer data is not used for training. Plans include a free tier, Pro at £13.00 per month, and Business at £30.00 per month.
