Your client changed the deal. Now what?
Your client just asked for “one more thing.” TradeoffTrack helps you evaluate the request, see what it actually costs, and decide whether to charge, trade, absorb, or decline.
One-time purchase. No subscription. No account. A standalone browser-based tool you can keep and use whenever a client changes the deal.
“It’s just one small request.”
Maybe. But a small request can turn a profitable project into a low-rate project—or quietly create months of unpaid recurring work.
TradeoffTrack looks at more than hours.
It considers additional labor, direct costs, your effective rate, opportunity cost, recurring impact, and what the original agreement actually covered.
Turn “Should I just do this?” into a business decision.
Give TradeoffTrack the context you already have. It helps you see the economics before you commit.
Compare the deal
Enter what you originally agreed to and what the client wants now.
Measure the impact
See added labor, direct costs, effective hourly rate, opportunity cost, and recurring monthly/annual impact.
Choose your response
Decide whether to charge, trade scope, absorb the request as goodwill, or decline it.
Say it professionally
Generate a client-ready response in a warm, professional, or firm tone.
From “one more thing” to a clear decision.
TradeoffTrack walks through the economics of a client change without turning it into another project-management system.
It won't automatically tell you to charge.
Sometimes the request is within scope. Sometimes goodwill is worth it. Sometimes the economics make a change worth pricing. TradeoffTrack gives you the numbers and the options; you make the decision.
Charge
Price the additional work when the economics and agreement support it.
Trade
Swap out an existing deliverable, revision, meeting, or other piece of scope.
Absorb
Know the actual cost before you choose goodwill—and make it deliberate.
Decline
Keep the original commitment intact and offer a separate engagement if appropriate.
Especially useful for recurring “quick favors.”
A request that takes three hours a month is not a three-hour request. At $125/hour, that's $375/month and $4,500/year before opportunity cost.

Questions before you say yes?
What is TradeoffTrack?
TradeoffTrack is a decision tool for freelancers and independent service providers evaluating client requests that may change the original scope, economics, or ongoing responsibilities of an engagement.
Is TradeoffTrack a scope creep calculator?
It includes calculations, but it is broader than a basic scope creep calculator. It compares the original deal with the new request, estimates the commercial impact, and helps you choose among charging, trading, absorbing, or declining.
Does TradeoffTrack tell me how much to charge?
No. It shows the economics of the request. You decide how to price or respond based on your agreement, relationship, market, and business judgment.
Is TradeoffTrack a subscription?
No. It is a $19 one-time purchase.
Do I need an account?
No. The product is delivered as a standalone HTML application that you can save to your computer and open in a browser.
Make the tradeoff visible.
Know what the request costs you. Then decide what to do about it.
