Retainer billing that keeps included hours and overages visible

Retainers get messy when included hours live in a spreadsheet and the invoice gets assembled somewhere else. ABH keeps that monthly billing record in one place.

Support flat-fee and capped-hours retainers

ABH supports flat-fee retainers and capped-hours retainers so you can match the billing model to how the client engagement actually works.

That helps you show what was included, what was used, and where overages came from before the invoice becomes a surprise.

  • See included hours and current usage
  • Track overages before month-end
  • Keep retainer billing tied to project work and time entries

Useful for agencies and recurring freelance work

If you bill the same client every month, a cleaner retainer record helps both sides. Your team knows what is covered, and the client sees a clearer monthly summary.

That makes ABH a better fit for recurring support, design retainers, dev retainers, and ongoing content work than a generic invoice template alone.
