Proposal Expiry Tracker for Freelancers
The Opportunity
Spotted on Reddit · March 24, 2026
Lightweight proposal status tracker with follow-up cadence logic. Send, track views, auto-remind at optimal intervals based on response patterns. Connects to Gmail/Outlook. $9-19/mo solo tier.
Clear pain. WTP is softer — freelancers are price-sensitive. Need 30+ upvotes on r/freelance to validate price point before building.
Why these scores?
Demand (pain) scored 4/5 (very high) — how urgently people need a solution.
Willingness to pay scored 3/5 (strong) — evidence people would pay for this.
Market gap scored 4/5 (very high) — how underserved this space is.
Build effort scored 4/5 (very high) — feasibility for a solo builder or small team.
Real Demand Evidence
“I have 14 open proposals and no idea which ones are about to go cold. I'm following up too early on some and too late on others. There's no tool for this.”
Willingness to Pay
Freelancers paying $15-30/mo on Honeybook and Bonsai for CRM that doesn't solve this. Proposal follow-up is the gap. High intent to switch for a purpose-built tool.
Score Breakdown
12/15Existing Solutions
Honeybook ($19/mo), Bonsai ($24/mo), Dubsado — all have proposals but zero follow-up intelligence. No standalone proposal tracking product in the indie tier.
