Looking for a Moxie alternative that grows with your team? Hourbun tracks time and bills your clients for one flat price per workspace, for two people or for 30.
By Fred Wu, maker of Hourbun · Checked · Report a mistake
The short answer
Hourbun keeps your whole team on one flat price: two full members for $15 a month on Duo, and up to 30 people for $99 on Team. Moxie needs its Teams plan, $40 a month, for any team member beside the owner, and Teams holds at most five. Moxie fits a freelancer who wants a CRM, proposals and contracts in the same app.
