THE GAP

The spreadsheet got you this far.

You already price projects. You're good at the work. But most pricing still runs on gut feel, fragile spreadsheets, and hoping the margin works out. The tooling hasn't caught up.

WHY MARGIN

The pricing tool your spreadsheet wishes it was.

Set up once, price every project

Your team's roles, rates, overhead, and profit targets are configured once. Every project inherits the model automatically. No rebuilding the spreadsheet.

The math is handled

Overhead, markups, and profit layer in automatically. You see your true cost and margin without doing the financial math yourself.

Project health at a glance

Instantly see which parts of a project are profitable and which aren't. Spot the activity that's underpriced or the role that's eating the margin — before the proposal goes out.

Spot the profit drivers, room to discount, and risk

See your top profit drivers, how much you can discount and still hit target, and the exact rate or markup change that closes the gap when you can't. Live what-if simulator built in.

Templates that get smarter over time

Save any project as a template. Adapt it for the next client. Your pricing gets faster and more accurate the more you use it.

Share without leaking salary data

Equip your team to create and edit projects without seeing per-role rates or per-line costs. Preview exactly what each teammate sees before you send the invite.

Unlimited users

Your whole team prices with the same rates and guardrails. No per-seat fees, no gatekeeping. Everyone who prices work can be on Margin.

Full breakdown, always visible

Labor, overhead, profit, markups — every component is itemized. When someone asks 'how did you get that number?' you can walk them through it.

HOW IT FITS

Works with the software you already use.

Margin handles the pricing decision. Your project management tool, CRM, and invoicing system handle everything else. No overlap, no switching costs. Set up in minutes, not months.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is Margin?
Margin is project pricing software for service businesses. You set up your team's roles, rates, and profit targets, then price any project by picking the roles and estimating the hours. Margin handles the overhead, markups, and profit math automatically and shows you the margin before the proposal goes out.
Who is Margin for?
Agencies, consultancies, architecture firms, interior designers, IT services, and any service business that prices projects before delivering them. If you're building estimates in spreadsheets today, Margin is for you.
What does Margin replace?
The pricing spreadsheet. Margin does not replace your project management tool, CRM, or invoicing system. It handles the one thing they don't: the pricing decision. It works alongside everything you already use.
How long does it take to set up?
An afternoon. You enter your team's roles and rates, or start from salaries or a department budget, and you're ready to price your first project. No implementation project. No training required.
How is Margin priced?
Per organization, not per user. Every plan includes unlimited team members. There is a free plan to start, and paid plans start at $79/month. Everyone who prices work should be on Margin. We do not charge by the seat.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Starter plan is free and includes 3 projects, 1 template, and unlimited users. It is enough to price real work and see if Margin is right for you.
What if I already have a way to price projects?
Most teams do — usually a spreadsheet someone built years ago. Margin is a better version of that. Your pricing logic can't break, everyone works from the same numbers, and you see the margin before the proposal goes out. You can start using Margin on your next project without changing anything else.
Do I need a finance background to use Margin?
No. You set up your rates and profit targets once, or have someone who knows the numbers do it. After that, pricing a project is just picking roles, estimating hours, and adding expenses. Margin handles the financial math.
