FAQ

Questions, answered

Is this accounting software?

No. Creative Profit OS is a pricing intelligence and profitability platform — not bookkeeping, invoicing, or generic CRM. It tells you what you should charge.

Who is this for?

Solo photographers, videographers, hybrid photo/video creators, social media content creators, and freelance creatives.

How does the pricing engine work?

You enter project details — shoot and edit hours, deliverables, licensing, client type, experience — and we return recommended, minimum, and premium pricing with effective hourly rate, margin, and intelligent alerts.

Can I save projects?

Yes. Save every calculation as a project, edit it later, duplicate it for similar gigs, and aggregate metrics into your dashboard.
