Insighty + Orangescrum:
project tracking, plus the financial layer
Orangescrum handles project management and time tracking for small agencies and teams. Insighty handles the financial intelligence layer — revenue, contracts, and billing visibility that project tracking tools leave to spreadsheets.

Orangescrum is a practical project and time management tool
This is not a "switch away from Orangescrum" argument. Orangescrum handles day-to-day project and time tracking well. Teams that live in it find real value in its simplicity.
Task and project management
Straightforward task management with project grouping, priorities, and status tracking for small to mid-size teams.
Time tracking and timesheets
Built-in time tracking with timesheet views and approval workflows for team-wide time logging.
Resource allocation and scheduling
Resource planning tools to schedule team members across projects and avoid overallocation.
Client and project grouping
Organise projects by client with role-based access so clients can view project progress.
Invoicing based on tracked time
Generate invoices directly from logged hours, connecting time tracking to billing for simple time-and-materials work.
Self-hosted option available
Available as a self-hosted deployment for agencies that require on-premises data control.
The questions Orangescrum cannot answer for agency owners
Orangescrum covers project delivery and time billing. It leaves the wider revenue picture — retainers, renewals, pipeline — to spreadsheets.
"Which recurring maintenance contracts need invoicing this month?"
Orangescrum generates invoices from tracked time but doesn't manage recurring contract schedules or renewal cycles.
"What is the full revenue picture across all client contract types?"
Orangescrum focuses on project-level billing. Multi-stream revenue (hosting, domains, retainers) isn't its model.
"Which hosting plans and domains are renewing in the next 90 days?"
Infrastructure renewal tracking is not part of Orangescrum's feature set.
"What is the probability-weighted sales pipeline for next quarter?"
Orangescrum has no sales pipeline or revenue forecast capabilities.
What each tool handles
Different tools, different jobs. The overlap is minimal by design.
