Everything your agency needs

From first enquiry to final invoice — Sparky Projects runs the whole trip.

Sparky Projects overview

Projects & Clients

Clients

A lightweight client directory to attach projects to — free on every plan, including solo Lite.

Projects, Every Billing Mode

Fixed-price, time & material, retainer, or purely internal — pick per project, in whatever currency your client pays in.

Plus and Max

Learn more ›

Fixed-price tracks a budget. Time & material and retainer track an hourly rate or a monthly hour allowance. Every project carries its own currency, and reports roll everything back up to your organization's base currency.

Milestones

Dated checkpoints with no assignee or time tracking — contract sign-off, phase gate, launch date. Free on every tier.

Tasks & Time

Kanban Board

To Do / In Progress / Done, org-customizable statuses, priority, and a dual-purpose estimate field — story points for Agile, hours or days for Waterfall/PMP.

Task Dependencies

Mark a task as blocked by another.

Plus and Max

Time Tracking — 3 Ways

Manual entry, start/stop timer, or Pomodoro sessions — free on every tier, logged against a project or a specific task.

Task bars are colored by status, milestones show as flags, and hovering a task shows what it's blocked by — the one place scheduling data that already exists elsewhere in the app becomes visible at a glance.

Reports

Workload by teammate, sprint/phase completion, retainer utilization, and budget tracking.
