Project profit tracking for freelancers: what to keep separate
A monthly budget cannot tell a freelancer whether one client project actually made money — each project needs its own income, expenses and net result. MoneyTag treats every job, client or side hustle as a separate ledger. Income and expenses stay distinct, the project card shows the running net result, and each entry can carry multiple tags so costs such as equipment, travel or tax deductions can also be compared across projects.
What to look for
- A separate income, expense and net total for every project.
- Tags that can compare the same cost across multiple projects.
- Multi-currency entries without changing the project's base currency.
- Useful reports and export that remain under your control.
- Offline use with a one-time upgrade instead of a subscription.
Recommended: MoneyTag: Income & Expense
MoneyTag: Income & Expense fits freelancers and side-hustle owners who want project-level profit and cross-project tags without moving their financial records into an account-based subscription service. Entries can use a local currency with an automatic or manual exchange rate while the project keeps one reporting currency. Reports break results down by period, type, category, month and day, with CSV and PDF export available through an optional one-time Lifetime Pro unlock. The app works offline with no account, ads, analytics or third-party tracking.
