The problem with team software for one person
Todoist, Asana, ClickUp and the rest are built for teams. It shows in every corner. Tasks are assigned, projects have members, there are comment threads, notifications and permissions. Working alone, you carry all of it without ever needing any of it.
Then there is the pricing logic. Team software charges per seat, and the first seat is rarely cheap. You pay a price calculated for an agency of twelve.
Aevo is built for one person. No assignments, no roles, no invitations.
Keeping clients and private life apart
The practical core for freelancers is workspaces. Each one is a board of its own with its own projects, tasks and notes. A typical split:
- one workspace per larger client or engagement,
- one for your own business: bookkeeping, tax, insurance, acquisition,
- one for private life.
When you switch, you see only what belongs to that space. Anyone working with clients would rather not have another client's tasks on screen while sharing it.
The free plan includes one workspace, Pro as many as you like.
What the free plan covers
Free is not a trial and does not expire. It includes the board with tasks, notes and projects, the zoom view with subtasks nested to any depth, goals, priorities and time estimates, recurring tasks, the attention score and the full task history. Notes are not limited. Only five projects and one workspace are.
For one person with a handful of things running, that is often enough permanently. Where it is not, Pro costs 7.00 euro a month or 70.00 euro a year, VAT included.
What matters about Pro
Calendar sync. CalDAV and Microsoft 365. Your appointments sit next to your tasks, and the day planning works with the time left between them: realistic day planning.
The mailbox on the board. Client emails become tasks instead of sitting in the inbox as reminders: turn an email into a task.
Files and reminders. Quotes, contracts and recordings hang on the task they belong to. Deadlines announce themselves.
Unlimited projects and workspaces. Unavoidable from the sixth active engagement onwards.
Invoice, VAT, cancellation
For the bookkeeping: the sale runs through Paddle as Merchant of Record. You receive an electronic invoice with VAT shown separately, sent to the email address from the order. The rate depends on your country of residence and is shown during checkout.
There is no minimum term beyond the period you booked. You cancel through the button in the footer of every page, through the Paddle customer portal in the app, or by an informal email. The first payment of a subscription is refunded on request without giving reasons.
Where Aevo does not fit
The moment you hire someone or work regularly with an assistant, you need assignments and a shared view. Those do not exist here and are not planned. Nor is there time tracking for billing, quotes or invoicing. Aevo plans your work; it does not bill it.
