Why Retainer Tracker exists
Retainer Tracker was built for a simple reason.
Retainers are easy to over-service.
A client pays a fixed monthly fee.
The work starts out clear.
Then the small things pile up.
Extra calls. Extra edits. Extra tasks. Extra quick asks.
By the end of the month, the account may still look fine.
But the hours and delivery cost may tell a different story.
Retainer Tracker exists to make that easier to see.
Why spreadsheets are not always enough
Most agency owners start with a spreadsheet.
It works until the team grows, the data goes stale, and no one is sure which version is current.
Why Retainer Tracker is simple on purpose
We do not try to be a CRM, project tool, or time tracker.
We try to answer one question well: which retainers are still worth the work?
