The whole commercial story
One project.
Nothing lost between the steps.
Clients change their minds. Projects grow. Your scope, approvals and invoices should keep up with the work.
Give every payment a reason and a date.
A deposit to begin. A payment after design approval. The balance at handoff. Turn the agreed stages into connected invoice drafts you can review and send.
The right terms, already in the invoice.“Could we also…” has a next step.
When the client adds a booking flow, record the extra work, its price and the delivery impact. Send a separate change order for signature before starting.
The original agreement stays linked and intact.Their approval becomes your next invoice.
Once the change is signed, Censiq prepares the additional-fee invoice as a draft. Review it, send it and let email reminders keep the next action clear.
You decide when the invoice goes out.Close the loop on the work.
The client transfers directly to your bank and can report the payment. Verify that the funds arrived, confirm the invoice as paid and issue the receipt.
Money goes to your bank. The record stays in Censiq.ONE PROJECT. EVERY COMMERCIAL DECISION.01 / 05

The request
“The website is looking great. Could we let visitors book appointments through it, too?”Original agreement: five-page website · $6,000
The booking flow adds a new deliverable. Make the price and delivery impact clear before building it.
The small requests add up
The work grew.
Your fee should reflect it.
That booking flow wasn’t in the original website brief. With a signed change order, it has a price, a delivery date and a place in the invoice.

See Premium pricingWho is Censiq for?
Censiq is built for independent developers, product designers, consultants and small specialist studios that work directly with clients. It connects the commercial side of an engagement: agreements, signatures, change orders, milestones, invoices, retainers and payment follow-up.
Can I use a contract I already have?
Yes. You can write a contract in Censiq, link an existing contract, upload a signed PDF or record a clear informal agreement. The app keeps the commercial record connected to the client and the work.
What happens when a client asks for additional work?
Create a change order linked to the signed agreement. Record the additional scope, fee and revised delivery date, then send the client a separate signing link. Once the client signs, Censiq creates an invoice draft for the additional fee. You review and send it when you are ready.
Does Censiq automatically collect client payments?
No. For direct bank-transfer invoices, your client pays from their bank to yours. Censiq provides the invoice, payment instructions and reminders. The client can report a payment; you verify the funds and confirm the invoice as paid before a receipt is issued. Banks and intermediaries may charge their own fees.
Will I need to move my projects into Censiq?
Keep your delivery tasks, code, design files and project management in the tools you already use. Censiq holds the agreements, commercial decisions and billing records. It is not a CRM or project-management tool, and it does not currently sync project data from an external CRM.
What is included on Free?
Free includes 2 agreements and 5 invoices each month, up to 3 active clients, electronic signatures, automatic email reminders, PDF invoices and receipts, and manual WhatsApp sharing. Premium adds higher-volume workflows, recurring retainer drafts and automated WhatsApp and SMS delivery and reminders.
