The all-in-one app for freelancers (formerly Hectic) alternative: with your whole back office in one place
Moxie (formerly Hectic) gives solo freelancers a tidy all-in-one: CRM, proposals, invoicing, a client portal, even a phone line. WorkBOS covers that client-facing flow and adds the operational back office Moxie leaves out: portfolio PMO, HR and payroll runs, a real ledger, multi-tenant resale and approve-first AI agents.
The short version
Moxie (the freelancer app formerly called Hectic) is a well-rounded, low-cost home base for a solo operator: client management with a sales pipeline, scheduling, proposals and contracts, invoicing, a client portal, basic accounting and even a built-in phone line. It is built for one freelancer or a team of up to five, so there is no portfolio PMO, no HR or payroll, only basic bookkeeping rather than a real ledger, and no multi-tenant reseller model (white-label portal is a Pro-tier feature). WorkBOS handles the same client-facing flow and adds portfolio PMO, HR and payroll runs, a double-entry ledger, resale from a reseller console, and approve-first AI agents with audit and rollback. Choose Moxie for a cheap solo command center; choose WorkBOS to run and resell the whole business.
