For Indian interior studios
Interior project management software
Phases the client can follow, site expenses against the budget while there is still time to act on them, and purchase orders next to the project they belong to — connected to the quotation and the invoice rather than sitting beside them.
Free plan, no card. Paid from ₹499/month — priced per studio, not per seat.
What running an interior project involves
An interior job is not a software sprint. It is a sequence of trades on a site, money leaving in small amounts, and a client who wants to know where things stand — and the tool has to hold all three or it becomes another place to keep notes.
- A timeline in phases, not a wall of tasks
- Interior work moves in stages — design, civil, carpentry, finishing, handover. New projects start with a default set you can reshape, rather than an empty board nobody fills in.
- The client can see the timeline, if you let them
- Each phase can be marked client-visible one at a time, so the plan they follow is the version you meant to share and never the internal one with your buffer in it.
- Site money leaks in small amounts
- Log expenses against the project as they happen, so the gap between what the job was priced at and what it is costing shows up while there is still time to do something about it.
- Purchase orders and the people you buy from
- Raise POs against vendors and keep the vendor's details, history and pricing in the same place as the project they're supplying.
- Tasks that come to you when they're due
- One board across every project, grouped by overdue, this week and next — because the task you forget is never the one you were looking at.
- It has to connect to the money
- Projects, quotations and invoices are the same records rather than three tools stitched together. What was quoted, what was invoiced and what is outstanding are one click apart.
The part most tools leave out
Project management software usually stops at the task list, which means the priced BOQ lives in Excel, the invoice lives in a different app, and the client lives in WhatsApp. Every one of those handoffs is a place for a number to change without anyone deciding it should. Keeping them as one set of records is less about convenience than about the quoted figure and the billed figure still agreeing in month four.
Questions studios actually ask
How is this different from a general tool like Trello or Notion?
A general board can hold tasks, but it does not know what a BOQ is, cannot produce a GST invoice, and has nothing to show your client. Here the project, the quotation, the invoice and the client's view are the same records, so nothing is copied between tools — which is where the numbers usually stop matching.
Can my client follow the project?
Yes, from a link — no app and no login. You choose which phases are visible to them, so the client sees the plan you intended to share rather than your internal one.
Does it track site expenses against the budget?
Expenses are logged against the project as they are incurred, which is what makes the difference between the quoted figure and the actual cost visible while the job is still running rather than after it.
Does it handle vendors and purchase orders?
Yes. Purchase orders are raised against vendors kept in the same system, so what was ordered for a project sits next to the project it was ordered for.
Is there a free plan?
One project and one person, free, with no card and no expiry — enough to run a real job through end to end. There is also a 14-day trial of the full product, then plans from ₹499 a month.
Is it priced per user?
No — per studio. ₹999 a month covers the whole team, so putting a junior on the software does not raise the bill. Per-seat pricing is the norm in this category and it is the reason growing studios end up managing who has a licence.
The rest of it
Start at the end
The fastest way to judge any of this is to look at what your client ends up holding. This is a real quotation, opened the way they would open it — no signup, nothing installed.
