Run your business as easily as describing the things that keep you up at night.
Every conclusion arrives with its evidence and a confidence level. Where the evidence is thin, Frontless says so instead of rounding up.

How it works
Turn the concerns that keep you up at night
into the system that runs your business
Your questions define the system. Your work stays connected.
What keeps you up at night said in your words
no schema to design
no schema to design
From then on, the question is not something you go and ask. Connect the tools you already use, or run the work directly in Frontless. Frontless watches the business activity behind the question and, when the answer changes, tells you what changed, why, and the evidence behind it.
Built to be trusted
It never claims what it cannot show.
Anyone can generate a confident sentence about your business. Frontless is built so it cannot generate one without the evidence underneath it — and so the person reading it only ever sees what they are allowed to see.
Evidence, or it isn't said Every fact records where it came from. Every conclusion links to the record behind
it. Anything Frontless works out for itself carries a confidence level — and where
the evidence is thin it says so rather than rounding up.
Your workspace is a locked room Your own subdomain resolves to your tenant and nothing else, and row-level security
is forced on at the database beneath it. With no tenant set a query errors rather
than returning everything. It fails closed.
The bookkeeper sees money, not people A role carries a permission per kind of thing, and it reaches the reasoning itself:
a briefing for someone with no access to money contains no cashflow findings. Not
hidden ones — uncomputed ones.
Frontless keeps a record of who did what, and when: every edit, every import, every access granted, with the person and timestamp. Nothing is overwritten — corrections become new entries, so the full history is always there.

Different sets of things to worry about.
Underneath is one powerful engine watching what your business actually loses sleep over.

Two subcontractor costs for this Engagement are still uncoded, so the overrun could be worse than this — never better.

What Frontless cannot see is whether you agreed to hold the price. It says which half it is missing rather than assuming the worse one.

Free to operate.
You pay when Frontless delivers.
Importing, storing, editing and asking cost nothing, for as long as you use Frontless. Money only moves when Frontless has actually done something — and every charge points at the thing it did.
Operating your business

Be the system of record. No seat count, no trial, no feature held back to make the paid thing look better.
- Import everything you have
- Your own subdomain

- Roles and entity permissions

Charging for access would be charging for potential. Frontless would rather be the place your business lives, and earn its money on the days it tells you something.
Monitoringfrom €9 / mo
The questions you pinned, watched every day and reported on your cadence — including the nights all is well, because the watch still ran. Tiers scale with how many you pin.
Billed per month, per tier of watches
A finding€0.50
A night the answer materially changed and cleared the bar you set. This is the catch — the morning something is different and you hear about it first, with its reasoning included.
Billed on each material change caught
An action€0.30
Something you asked Frontless to do: a change you commanded, a rule you created, a document you asked it to interpret. “Mark these five paid” is one action, not five.
Billed per command, not per record
When the credit runs out, delivery pauses. Access never does.
An unpaid month cannot be allowed to lock a business out of its own record — that would be charging for access through the back door. So the watches stop taking shifts, and nothing else changes.
Operating the business
Stays free
Import, store, edit, query, invite. Exactly as before, indefinitely.
Billable delivery
Pauses
Watches stop running, findings are not generated, actions are not performed. You are
warned before it happens, never after.
What you keep
Everything you own
All data, all history, every past delivery, the whole audit log. Restoring credit
resumes the watches on the next cycle.
The guard stops taking new shifts. He doesn't seize the building.
Every charge corresponds to one recorded event in an append-only ledger: a run, a finding, an action. If a line could bill without one, this would be a subscription wearing a different hat. See a month, charge by charge →
Prices are indicative during beta — the per-finding and per-action rates and the monitoring tiers move once the beta tells us what they are worth.
