# The same software, set up around how you sell and bill your work.

A day-rate consulting firm, a staffing agency, a digital agency and an engineering firm don't work the same way. hice starts from the same modules and adapts to the way you bill: by time, by placed person, by sprint or by phase.

Free for up to 10 people, no credit card required.

## How do you bill your work?

You may recognise yourself in two answers, and that's fine. What separates the profiles isn't the industry: it's how you bill and who you sell your people's work to.

- I bill the time of specific people, on the client's projects.
- My people work at the client's site, but stay under contract with me.
- I sell results in sprints, with a mixed team of employees and freelancers.
- I bill the certified progress of design phases.

### Consulting (T&M)

For firms that bill consultants by the day: opportunities, T&M assignments, approved timesheets and the margin of every engagement, updated every day.

- Time & Materials assignments with rates and costs
- Timesheets and billable days
- Opportunities that become projects
- Margin on every engagement in real time

### Staffing and recruiting

Candidates, clients, open positions and placed people in one flow: from CV to shortlist, from interview to the hours worked at the client.

- Candidate pipeline (ATS)
- Automatic CV reading
- AI matching between candidates and positions
- From candidate to employee, without retyping

### IT and digital agencies

For agencies that sell projects, hours and teams: from proposal to invoicing, with tasks, in-house team and freelancers, and margin per client.

- Projects with phases and milestones
- Team tasks, in-house and freelance
- Resource planning
- Margin by project and by client

### Engineering firms

Projects split into phases and deliverables, tasks assigned to the technical team, hours and margin of every project always visible, client reports ready.

- Projects split into phases and deliverables
- Tasks assigned to the technical team
- Margin on every project
- Reports and documents generated automatically

## What really changes between plans

Almost nobody changes plan for a single feature. People change at three recognisable moments, and it pays to see them coming before you have to rush.

- At the start, one teamWith up to 10 people and a single team, hice is free forever: up to 3 users who coordinate and 7 who log hours and expenses.Free plan
- A second team arrivesWhen a second team or business unit needs its own view of the same data, the free plan stops there. Business costs €19.90 a month for each user who coordinates and €1.90 for those who only log.Business plan
- The group has several companiesWhen someone starts reconciling the accounts between companies every month, it's worth managing them together. Business keeps them in the same data; Enterprise adds a dedicated server and support.Business or Enterprise plan
- A client runs a security reviewWhen a client asks where the data is processed and who can see it, Enterprise gives you a dedicated server, SSO/SAML sign-in, an SLA and an account manager.Enterprise plan

In all three cases, what makes you change plan is a change in your company, not a missing feature. Business prices are for Europe, excluding VAT.

Do you also work by engagements, people and hours, like a law firm or an accounting practice? The same modules work for you too.
