Our story

Built by a freelancer.
Fed up with chasing invoices.

RetainerBase exists because the alternative was another awkward “hey, just checking on that invoice” text. We've sent too many of those.

Why we built this

Running a freelance business means doing the work and chasing the money. The second part is exhausting. We built RetainerBase to automate the uncomfortable stuff — invoices, reminders, payment collection — so you can focus on what actually earns you money.

What we believe

Your clients deserve a professional experience. You deserve to get paid on time. Neither of those should require a spreadsheet, four follow-up emails, and a prayer. RetainerBase makes both happen automatically.

Simple by default

Every feature ships only when it makes the workflow genuinely faster — not just more impressive.

Your money, your account

Stripe Connect means payments go directly to you. We never hold or touch your funds.

Built for freelancers

Not enterprises. Not agencies with 50-person finance teams. You — doing the work solo.
