Rampcheck for Freelancers: New-hire onboarding you own forever

New-hire onboarding you own forever.

Freelancers expense a dozen subscriptions — proposals, contracts, invoices, time tracking — against irregular income. Owning the tools outright removes a whole line of fixed costs.

The tool this job usually means renting is Trainual, at $99/mo — roughly $1,188 a year, every year. Rampcheck does the job for a one-time $29 — running on infrastructure you control.
