I’m building a tool that tells freelancers what to charge (and finds their clients). Is this stupid?

Most freelancers don’t struggle with skill.

They struggle with:

•	What should I charge?

•	How long will this actually take?

•	How do I justify this price?

•	Where do I even find clients consistently?

So I started building something a bit controversial.

You describe the project.

It analyzes:

•	The type of work

•	The complexity

•	Your past projects

•	Your experience level

•	The client’s stated (or unstated) budget

And it gives you:

•	A suggested price range

•	A realistic timeline

•	A breakdown of why that price makes sense

•	A message you can send to the client to justify it

Basically, it removes the “uhhh…” moment before sending a quote.

But that’s only part of it.

It also:

•	Pulls leads from Google Maps based on the kind of businesses you want

•	Syncs your Google Sheet leads automatically

•	Tracks lead → client → project

•	Generates proposals directly from quotes

•	Stores everything in one place

It’s like an OS for small agencies and solo freelancers.

Here’s where I’m unsure:

Would you actually trust AI to tell you what to charge?

Or does that feel dangerous?

And is Google Maps lead sourcing built-in a genius move… or a red flag?

I’d rather hear the brutal truth now than build something nobody needs.
