We created Hero Projects because we were tired of watching small and medium-sized businesses struggle with clunky, over-engineered software. Most time tracking and invoicing tools feel like they were built for massive enterprise teams, not agile service businesses that need to move fast, stay lean, and focus on client work - not admin.
Hero strips all that complexity away.
Running a service business shouldn’t mean overpaying for bloated software packed with features you’ll never use. Too many freelancers, studios, and agencies end up locked into expensive enterprise tools that slow them down and stretch their budgets.
We built Hero Projects to be different — a lean, powerful platform that gives you exactly what you need to track time, manage projects, and get paid faster. No fluff. No wasted spend. Just a straightforward, scalable tool that respects your time and your money.
Testimonials
Hero is built by a small business for small businesses.
Freelance Designer
I used to dread following up on invoices. Hero’s automatic reminders handle it for me, so I can focus on design instead of awkward money chats.
Self Employed Bricklayer
Hero fits the way I work. I log my daily rate, then use the expense feature to bill per brick laid—right from my phone. It’s the first tool I’ve found that lets me invoice the way I need to and keep everything properly recorded.
Consulting Firm Manager
Hero gives me real clarity on project costs. Since we work with contractors at different rates depending on their tasks, being able to customise cost rates in Hero means our reporting actually reflects reality.
Homecare Company Manager
Our team supports a wide range of clients with varying care needs, all billed by time spent. With Hero, staff can log hours on their phones during shifts, so we can send accurate invoices to the council faster and reduce delays in payments.
