As a freelancer this pays for itself with the first client project each month. Cannot imagine going back to doing this manually.
Solid tool that does what it promises. Onboarding took an afternoon and the only gripe is pricing creeping up each year.
Good but not magic. It saves me maybe 2-3 hours a week - worth it at this price, but the marketing oversells what it does.
