SoloBrief is a smart client intake and Scope of Work generation tool for freelancers and solo operators. You build a brief from a niche preset, send your client a shareable link, and SoloBrief ensures client answers are specific enough to build from by flagging vague terms in real time. It then compiles responses into a signed Scope of Work proposal with deposit collection and kickoff scheduling.

How does real-time ambiguity detection work?

As the client types, SoloBrief scans answers for ambiguous language across style, timeline, scope, and metrics — phrases like 'make it pop', 'clean', 'ASAP', or 'etc.' When it finds one, it prompts the client to resolve it on the spot with one-click concrete options: a style preset, a real deadline date, an explicit deliverables checklist, or a measurable success metric. Every resolution is recorded and shown to the freelancer alongside the answers.

How does SoloBrief compare to Google Forms or Typeform?

Traditional forms like Google Forms or Typeform only record raw, unguided text, leaving freelancers to decipher vague answers ('make it pop', 'ASAP') and manually draft contracts from scratch. SoloBrief actively guides clients with real-time ambiguity detection, enforces minimum word counts, auto-compiles answers into an editable Scope of Work proposal with milestone timelines, and collects digital signatures, Stripe deposits, and Calendly bookings in a single automated pipeline.

Does SoloBrief generate binding contracts and Scope of Work documents?

Yes. Client answers are compiled into an editable Scope of Work with deliverables, scope boundaries, assumptions, out-of-scope items, a milestone timeline, and a revision policy. Both the freelancer and client can apply digital sign-off, creating a permanent mutual agreement that can be printed or saved as a clean PDF.

Do clients need to create an account to fill out a brief?

No. Clients access a secure, private shareable link. They can complete questions, resolve ambiguities, review the Scope of Work, provide digital sign-off, pay a deposit, and book a kickoff call without creating an account or downloading software.

Can I white-label SoloBrief with my own branding?

Yes. On SoloBrief Pro ($19/month), all SoloBrief branding badges are removed from the client portal, giving your clients a completely clean, professional, white-labeled experience.

How much does SoloBrief cost?

SoloBrief offers a free Starter tier with up to 3 active client briefs and core intake tools. SoloBrief Pro is $19 per month and unlocks unlimited briefs, all 5 niche presets, the full Scope of Work compiler with dual digital sign-off, PDF export, Stripe deposit links, Calendly booking integration, Notion/Trello handoffs, and complete white-labeling.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 3, 2026

SoloBrief ("we", "us") is a project intake tool for freelancers and solo operators. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to the SoloBrief website and app at solobrief.hk-bizflow.com.

SoloBrief is used by two kinds of people: account holders (freelancers who sign in and create briefs) and clients (people who fill in a brief via a shared link, without an account). This policy covers both.

Information we collect

Account holders

Google account details. When you sign in with Google we receive your name, email address, and profile photo from Google. We use these to create and identify your account. We never see your Google password.
Content you create. Briefs, intake questions, Scope of Work documents, and any deposit or scheduling links you add are stored so the service can work.

Clients filling in a brief

Brief answers. The answers you type into a brief, and the typed name you provide if you sign off on the Scope of Work, are stored and shared with the freelancer who sent you the link. Clients do not need an account, and we do not require any information beyond what the brief asks for.

Everyone

Usage analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used (pages visited, approximate location, device type). Google Analytics uses cookies. We do not use analytics data to identify individuals.
Local preferences. Your light/dark theme choice is stored in your browser's local storage and never leaves your device.

How we use information

To provide the service: creating briefs, collecting answers, compiling Scope of Work documents, and showing them to the right people.
To operate, maintain, and improve SoloBrief.
To communicate with you about your account or the service.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not use your briefs or your clients' answers for advertising or to train AI models.

Where your data lives

SoloBrief runs on Google Firebase. Authentication is handled by Firebase Authentication and your data is stored in Cloud Firestore, on Google Cloud infrastructure in the United States. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest by Google Cloud.

Sharing

Between you and your client. A brief is shared between the freelancer who created it and anyone who has its private link. Answers a client submits are visible to the freelancer; the compiled Scope of Work is visible to both.
Service providers. Google (Firebase, Analytics) processes data on our behalf as described above.
Third-party links. Freelancers can attach Stripe payment links and Calendly booking links to a brief. If you use those links, you interact with Stripe or Calendly directly under their own privacy policies — SoloBrief never sees or stores your payment details.
Legal requirements. We may disclose information if required by law.

Brief links

Client briefs are accessed through unguessable private links. Anyone with a brief's link can view that brief, so treat links like you would any private document link and only share them with the people involved in the project.

Retention and deletion

Your data is kept for as long as your account is active. You can delete individual briefs at any time from the app, and you can delete your account (including all of your briefs and the client answers they contain) from the Settings page. Deletion is permanent.

If you are a client and want your answers removed, contact the freelancer who sent you the brief, or email us at the address below and we will help.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR or similar laws), you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information. You can do most of this directly in the app; for anything else, email us and we will respond within 30 days.

Children

SoloBrief is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the date at the top and, where appropriate, notify account holders by email or in the app.
