GuardRail tracks hour burn across all your client projects and alerts you before you overrun your budget — so you protect your margins without living in spreadsheets.
Built specifically for marketing and design agencies that bill by the hour.
Get notified the moment a project hits 70%, 80%, or 90% of its budget — not after it's already overrun.
Connect your time-tracking tool and hours sync automatically. No more manual data entry.
See your actual margin on every project at a glance. Know which clients are profitable and which aren't.
One view of every active project — burn rate, status, days until deadline, revenue at risk.
When a project goes over budget, GuardRail drafts the client email for you using Claude AI.
Every Monday, get a summary of your portfolio — which projects need attention and which are on track.
