frequently asked questions
Can I track different hourly rates for different clients as a contractor?
While PlanHourly focuses on time planning rather than billing, you can color-code each client and clearly see how many hours you've allocated to each. This makes it easy to track your time for invoicing in your preferred billing system.
What if a client project runs over the time I planned?
That's the beauty of visual planning - you can instantly see how overruns affect the rest of your day. Simply drag tasks around to adjust, and you'll know exactly what needs to be rescheduled.
How does the 'brand new day' feature help hourly contractors?
Every morning starts fresh without yesterday's incomplete tasks haunting you. This is perfect for contractors who need to stay motivated and focused on today's billable work rather than feeling overwhelmed by an endless backlog.
