Agiled vs Hectic (Moxie): Complete Comparison (2026)

Agiled and Hectic (now rebranded as Moxie) both target freelancers and small teams — but Moxie stays laser-focused on solo freelancers while Agiled scales to agencies and growing teams. Moxie is a freelancer-first business management tool with CRM, proposals, contracts, invoicing, time tracking, scheduling, and a client portal. Agiled extends further into project management with Gantt charts, HR, payroll, expense tracking, and AI agents.

Moxie (formerly Hectic, at withmoxie.com) offers "stupid-good tools for freelancers." The platform includes client management, a sales pipeline, proposals and contracts with e-signatures, invoicing with Stripe and PayPal, time tracking, a meeting scheduler, a universal calendar and inbox, custom form builder, basic accounting with expense tracking, a fully branded client portal (Pro+), workflow automations (Pro+), a business phone line called Communicator (Pro+, US/CA/UK only), and Moxie AI assistant. The Starter plan costs $10/month (annual). Pro costs $20/month. Teams costs $32/month for up to 5 members. Mobile apps for iOS and Android.

Agiled covers the full business lifecycle — CRM with pipeline management, proposals, contracts, invoicing, project management with Kanban and Gantt, time tracking, scheduling, client portals, HR, payroll, expense tracking, and AI agents. Free plan for 1 user. Paid plans start at $30/month for 3 users.

Quick comparison (TLDR)

Moxie is one of the most complete freelancer-first platforms available. The proposals and contracts with attorney-vetted legal terms and e-signatures are well-designed for independent professionals. Invoicing with automatic recurring billing, automatic payments, and automated reminders eliminates payment chasing. Time tracking connects to projects and invoicing. The meeting scheduler with embedded payment collection lets freelancers charge for consultations. The Communicator feature (Pro+) provides a dedicated business phone line — unique among freelancer tools. The universal calendar syncs Google, iCal, and Outlook. Expense tracking with Plaid integration and QuickBooks connectivity handles basic accounting. All this starts at $10/month.

But Moxie is built for solo freelancers, not growing agencies. The Teams plan caps at 5 members. There are no Gantt charts — project management is basic (tasks, subtasks, no dependencies or milestones). No Kanban boards. No resource allocation. No HR, payroll, or employee management. No multi-currency invoicing mentioned. Workflow automation requires Pro+ ($20/month). The fully branded client portal requires Pro+. The Communicator phone line is limited to US, Canada, and UK. API integrations require Pro+.

Agiled includes CRM, proposals, contracts, invoicing, Gantt charts with dependencies, time tracking, scheduling, client portal, HR, payroll, expense tracking, and AI agents at $0-120/month. No business phone line. No attorney-vetted contract templates. No embedded payment on scheduler. No Plaid integration for accounting.

The bottom line: Moxie is the right choice for solo freelancers and 1-2 person teams that want affordable, focused tools with a personal touch (phone line, scheduling with payments). Agiled is the right choice for freelancers planning to grow into agencies, teams with employees, and businesses that need advanced project management and HR.

CRM and sales pipeline

Moxie

Freelancer CRM. Client health snapshot, customizable fields, contact management, and a sales pipeline with custom stages, workflow automations (Pro+), and lead prioritization. Designed for tracking client relationships rather than managing enterprise sales.

Agiled

Business CRM. Contacts, companies, unlimited deal pipelines, revenue tracking, forecasting, pipeline automation, email integration, and reporting.

Verdict

Agiled has a more full-featured CRM. Moxie's CRM is simpler but includes the client health snapshot — a helpful at-a-glance view for freelancers.

Proposals, contracts, and onboarding

Moxie

Freelancer-optimized proposals. Proposal templates, e-signatures, attorney-vetted legal terms, and a full onboarding experience with questionnaires. Contracts include pre-built legal language reviewed by attorneys — a meaningful advantage for freelancers who cannot afford legal counsel.

Agiled

AI-assisted proposals. AI drafting, interactive pricing tables, contracts with e-signatures, proposal-to-project conversion. More sophisticated but without pre-built legal terms.

Verdict

Moxie wins for freelancers who need attorney-vetted contracts. Agiled wins for agencies that need AI proposal generation and interactive pricing.

Invoicing and payments

Moxie

Automated freelancer billing. Automatic recurring invoices, automatic payments, reimbursable expense integration, Stripe and PayPal, automated reminders. Simple and focused on reducing payment friction for freelancers.

Agiled

Business invoicing. Multi-currency, recurring billing, payment schedules, time-to-invoice conversion, expense-to-invoice linking, multiple payment gateways.

Verdict

Comparable core features. Moxie is simpler and more automated. Agiled offers more flexibility (multi-currency, more gateways).

Time tracking and scheduling

Moxie

Integrated time and scheduling. Time tracking with manual entry, notes, and client/project assignment. Meeting scheduler with unlimited types, embedded forms, integrated payment collection, customizable reminders, and buffer times. The scheduler with payment collection is unique — freelancers can charge for consultations directly.

Agiled

Time tracking with invoicing. Task-level tracking, billable rates, automatic invoice population. Appointment scheduling with booking pages.

Verdict

Moxie's scheduler with embedded payments is a standout for consultants. Agiled's time tracking is more connected to invoicing and projects.

Project management

Moxie

Basic task management. Projects and tasks with subtasks, files, notes, and multiple billing options (hourly, recurring, fixed rate, combo). No Gantt charts, no Kanban boards, no dependencies, no milestones, no resource allocation.

Agiled

Full PM suite. Kanban, Gantt with dependencies, milestones, list, calendar views. Subtasks, custom fields, workflow automation.

Verdict

Agiled wins on PM depth. Moxie handles basic freelancer project tracking but lacks the visual and structural tools agencies need.

Client portal and communication

Moxie

Fully branded portal (Pro+). Custom pages, controlled access, proactive nudges, and one-click approvals. The Communicator feature (Pro+) provides a dedicated business phone line with answering service, email routing, and office hours. Unique among business management tools.

Agiled

Branded portal. Client access to projects, invoices, proposals, contracts, and files. No business phone line.

Verdict

Moxie's phone line is unique. Agiled's portal covers more business areas.

HR, payroll, and expense tracking

Moxie

Basic expenses. No HR. Expense tracking with client/category assignment, vendor tracking, Plaid integration, and QuickBooks integration. No HR, payroll, attendance, or leave management.

Agiled

Full HR and expenses. HR with employee management, attendance, leave, payroll. Expense tracking with categories and project linking.

Verdict

Agiled wins on HR. Moxie wins on accounting integration (Plaid, QuickBooks).

AI and automation

Moxie

Moxie AI assistant and automation (Pro+). AI assistant for task help. Workflow automations for CRM and project triggers. API integrations via Zapier, Make, and webhooks.

Agiled

Business AI agents. AI for proposal drafting, email writing, report generation.

Verdict

Comparable AI capabilities. Agiled's AI is more focused on content generation. Moxie's automation is available only on Pro+.

Pricing comparison

Cost comparison for a solo freelancer

Platform	Monthly cost
Moxie Pro	$20/month
Agiled Free	$0/month

For solo freelancers, Agiled's free plan provides CRM, proposals, and projects at no cost. Moxie's Pro plan ($20/month) adds attorney-vetted contracts, Communicator phone line, fully branded portal, and workflow automation. The $20/month difference is $240/year — meaningful for bootstrapped freelancers. Moxie's extras (phone line, legal terms, scheduler payments) may justify the cost if you use them. If not, Agiled's free tier is compelling.

Annual cost at 5 users (Moxie's max)

Platform	Monthly	Annual
Moxie Teams	$32	$384
Agiled	$30	$360

At max capacity, Moxie costs slightly more than Agiled — and Agiled includes HR, Gantt, and unlimited scaling. Beyond 5 users, only Agiled applies.

Security and compliance

Moxie

Standard SaaS security. Secure payment processing via Stripe and PayPal (PCI compliance handled by providers). Role-based access control. Mobile app security for iOS and Android. Data handling and GDPR depend on configuration. No prominent SOC 2 or ISO 27001 mention.

Agiled

Standard SaaS security. Data encryption, role-based access, two-factor authentication (2FA), secure client portal. Standard data protection practices for SaaS.

Verdict

Comparable. Both platforms provide standard security. For regulated industries, request compliance documentation from each vendor.

Integration ecosystem

Moxie

Focused freelancer integrations. Zapier, Make, webhooks, public API (Pro+), QuickBooks, Plaid, Google/iCal/Outlook calendar sync. The QuickBooks and Plaid integrations are valuable for freelancer accounting — sync expenses, track reimbursables, and prepare for tax season. API requires Pro+ plan. Calendar sync is robust for scheduling across tools.

Agiled

Business integrations. Payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal), calendar services (Google, Outlook), email providers. Broader native feature set — CRM, PM, HR, invoicing — reduces external dependencies. API included on paid plans. No QuickBooks or Plaid integration prominently advertised.

Verdict

Moxie wins on accounting integrations (QuickBooks, Plaid). Agiled's native features cover more ground without integrations. Freelancers who live in QuickBooks may prefer Moxie. Teams that want HR and PM in one tool may prefer Agiled despite the accounting gap.

Onboarding and learning curve

Moxie

Extremely simple. Designed for freelancers who want to start immediately. The interface is casual and approachable. Mobile apps (iOS, Android) allow on-the-go management. The Starter plan at $10/month is low-risk. Expect to be productive within 1–2 days. The narrow feature set (no PM, no HR) means less to configure. Ideal for freelancers who want to send proposals and invoices without learning a complex platform.

Agiled

More comprehensive onboarding. Broader feature set requires more setup — typically 1–2 weeks for full configuration. Free plan allows risk-free evaluation. Module-based adoption helps gradual learning: start with CRM and proposals, add projects, then HR as needed. The trade-off: more to learn, but no platform switch when you grow.

Verdict

Moxie is simpler to start for freelancers with narrow needs. Agiled requires more exploration but delivers more long-term value for growing businesses. If you expect to stay solo forever, Moxie's simplicity wins. If you might hire, Agiled's upfront complexity pays off.

User reviews

Common Moxie concerns

Team scaling limits. The Teams plan caps at 5 members. Growing agencies outgrow Moxie quickly. No path to 6+ users. Migration at a growth inflection point is disruptive.

No advanced PM. No Gantt charts, Kanban boards, or dependencies limits project visibility for agencies managing multiple deliverables. Basic tasks and subtasks only.

Communicator limitations. The business phone line is only available in the US, Canada, and UK — excluding international freelancers. A key differentiator that does not apply globally.

Feature gating on Starter. The $10/month Starter plan lacks the client portal, automation, phone line, API, and QuickBooks integration. Many users upgrade to Pro ($20) or Teams ($32) to get full functionality.

Who should choose Moxie

• Solo freelancers who want a simple, affordable all-in-one tool ($10-20/month)
• Consultants who want embedded payment on scheduling
• US/CA/UK freelancers who want a dedicated business phone line
• Creative professionals who need attorney-vetted contract templates
• Freelancers who use QuickBooks and want integrated accounting

Who should choose Agiled

• Freelancers planning to grow into agencies (Moxie caps at 5 members)
• Agencies with employees that need HR, payroll, and attendance
• Teams needing advanced PM — Gantt charts, Kanban, dependencies
• International businesses that need multi-currency invoicing
• Budget-conscious freelancers who want a free plan with CRM and unlimited projects
• Growing teams that need AI for proposals and business automation

Detailed total cost of ownership analysis

Moxie caps at 5 team members. The tables below model solo freelancer, 3-person, and 5-person teams. Beyond 5, Moxie is not an option.

Solo freelancer

Cost component	Moxie	Agiled
Base platform	Pro: $20/month (full features)	$0/month (free plan)
Proposals, contracts, invoicing	Included	Included (paid) or limited (free)
Time tracking	Included	Included
Total	$20/month	$0/month (free) or $30 (paid)

5-person team (Moxie's max)

Cost component	Moxie	Agiled
Base platform	Teams: $32/month (5 members max)	$30/month
HR/payroll	Add Gusto: ~$40/month	Included
Gantt/advanced PM	Add Asana: ~$50/month	Included
Total	~$122/month	$30/month

The freelancer-to-agency growth problem: Moxie is built for 1–5 people. At 6 people, you must switch platforms. Migration is disruptive. Agiled scales from 1 to 20+ users on the same platform. Starting with Agiled avoids the forced migration when you outgrow Moxie.

Communicator: business phone line deep dive

Moxie's Communicator (Pro+ plans) provides a dedicated business phone line — unique among freelancer tools. Features include: answering service, email routing, office hours, and call handling. Available in US, Canada, and UK only. Freelancers can separate personal and business calls, appear more professional, and avoid giving out personal numbers.

Agiled does not offer a business phone line. You would use Grasshopper, OpenPhone, or similar separately. If a dedicated business line is essential and you operate in US/CA/UK, Moxie's Communicator is a differentiator. International freelancers cannot use it.

Attorney-vetted contracts detail

Moxie's contracts include pre-built legal terms reviewed by attorneys. For freelancers who cannot afford legal counsel, this reduces risk. The terms cover common freelancer scenarios: scope, payment, revisions, intellectual property, termination. You can customize, but the base language is professionally vetted.

Agiled offers contracts with e-signatures but does not prominently advertise attorney-vetted templates. You would use your own contract language or consult a lawyer. For risk-averse freelancers, Moxie's legal foundation is valuable. For agencies with in-house or retained counsel, it may matter less.

Scheduler with embedded payments

Moxie's meeting scheduler supports embedded payment collection. Freelancers can charge for consultations, discovery calls, or strategy sessions directly at booking. Clients pay before the meeting — no chasing payment after. Buffer times, custom forms, and reminders are included. Google, iCal, and Outlook calendar sync.

Agiled includes appointment scheduling with booking pages but does not prominently advertise embedded payment at booking. You would collect payment separately (invoice, Stripe link) or use a separate tool (Calendly + Stripe). For consultants who monetize calls, Moxie's integrated payment is a standout.

Accounting and QuickBooks integration

Moxie integrates with QuickBooks and Plaid. Expense tracking with client/category assignment, vendor tracking, and automatic sync to QuickBooks. Plaid connects bank accounts for transaction import. This supports freelancers who need clean books for taxes and accounting.

Agiled includes expense tracking with categories and project linking but does not prominently advertise QuickBooks or Plaid integration. For freelancers who rely on QuickBooks for year-end taxes and accountant handoff, Moxie has an edge. For teams that handle accounting in-house or use other tools, Agiled's native expense tracking may suffice.

Mobile experience comparison

Moxie

Native iOS and Android apps. Moxie prominently offers mobile apps for on-the-go access. Time tracking, CRM, invoicing, and scheduling accessible from phone. Designed for freelancers who work from multiple locations.

Agiled

Responsive web. CRM, projects, invoicing accessible via mobile browser. No dedicated native app advertised. Modern responsive design adapts to smaller screens.

Verdict

Moxie wins on mobile — dedicated apps provide better offline capability, push notifications, and touch-optimized UX. Agiled's web experience works on mobile but is not app-native. If mobile is critical (field work, travel), Moxie has the advantage.

Reporting and analytics comparison

Moxie

Freelancer-focused metrics. Client health snapshot, pipeline value, time tracking reports, expense summaries, invoice aging. Basic business visibility. No Gantt or project-level analytics (no advanced PM). QuickBooks sync enables deeper reporting in accounting software.

Agiled

Business-wide reporting. CRM pipeline analytics, revenue forecasting, project progress, time-to-invoice reports, expense summaries, HR dashboards, AI-assisted insights. Covers the full lifecycle.

Verdict

Agiled wins on reporting breadth. Moxie provides adequate freelancer metrics. For solo freelancers, Moxie's reporting may suffice. For growing teams, Agiled's project, time, and HR analytics are essential. Moxie's QuickBooks sync extends reporting into accounting software — a plus for freelancers who rely on their accountant.

Decision matrix: when to choose Moxie vs Agiled

Scenario	Choose Moxie	Choose Agiled
Solo freelancer, want dedicated business phone (US/CA/UK)	✓	—
Need attorney-vetted contract templates	✓	—
Want embedded payment on scheduler	✓	—
Use QuickBooks, need Plaid sync	✓	—
Need native mobile apps	✓	—
Team of 6+ (Moxie caps at 5)	—	✓
Need Gantt, Kanban, dependencies	—	✓
Need HR, payroll, attendance	—	✓
Want free plan	—	✓
International (outside US/CA/UK)	—	✓
Multi-currency invoicing	—	✓
Budget: $0 for solo	—	✓

Summary: Moxie fits US/CA/UK solo freelancers who want a phone line, attorney-vetted contracts, and scheduler payments — and will stay under 5 people. Agiled fits everyone planning to grow, needing HR/PM, or wanting a free plan.

Edge case: If you are a US-based solo consultant who monetizes discovery calls, uses QuickBooks, and wants attorney-vetted contracts — Moxie's feature set is tailored to you. If you are international, plan to hire, or want a free plan — Agiled is the better fit. The 5-person cap is the critical constraint: plan for it before you hit it.

The freelancer-to-agency growth problem

Moxie's Teams plan caps at 5 members. There is no 6-person, 10-person, or 20-person plan. When you hire your sixth team member, you must migrate. Migration means: exporting data, reconfiguring workflows, retraining staff, and potential downtime. Agencies that start on Moxie face a forced platform change at a critical growth moment. Agiled scales from 1 to 20+ users. Starting with Agiled eliminates the growth ceiling. The question: do you expect to stay under 5 people indefinitely? If not, Agiled is the safer long-term choice.

Documentation and support

Moxie

Knowledge base, email support, and in-app guidance. The platform's freelancer focus means documentation is approachable. Mobile apps reduce support burden — fewer "how do I do X on my phone?" questions. Support responsiveness varies by plan. QuickBooks and Plaid setup guides help with accounting integration.

Agiled

Documentation, in-app help, and support channels. Broader feature set means more documentation areas. Free plan users have access to standard support. HR and project management sections help with operational setup.

Verdict

Moxie's simpler scope may mean faster support for freelancer-specific questions. Agiled's breadth requires more self-service for advanced features. Both provide standard SaaS support. Moxie's mobile apps may reduce support tickets for on-the-go users.

What is Moxie's Communicator and is it worth it?

Worth it if you want to separate business and personal calls without a separate phone service (Grasshopper, OpenPhone). Not available internationally.

Does Moxie have multi-currency invoicing?

Moxie does not prominently advertise multi-currency invoicing. Agiled supports multi-currency. For international freelancers billing in multiple currencies, Agiled may be the better fit.

Can I migrate from Moxie to Agiled when I outgrow the 5-person cap?

Is Moxie's attorney-vetted contract language legally binding?

Moxie's contracts include pre-built terms reviewed by attorneys. The language is designed for common freelancer scenarios. It is not a substitute for situation-specific legal advice. For complex engagements or high-value contracts, consult a lawyer. For standard freelancer agreements, Moxie's terms provide a solid foundation.

Does Agiled have a business phone line like Moxie's Communicator?

When should I choose Moxie over Agiled's free plan?

Choose Moxie if you need: Communicator (US/CA/UK), attorney-vetted contracts, scheduler with embedded payment, QuickBooks/Plaid integration, or native mobile apps. Agiled's free plan covers CRM, proposals, and projects but lacks these freelancer-specific features. If those features are not critical, Agiled's free plan saves $20/month. Evaluate which features you will actually use before paying for Moxie. The $240/year savings with Agiled free can fund other tools or marketing.
