The Verdict
17hats is a solid all-in-one for solo service providers focused on invoicing and bookkeeping. But its proposal builder is rigid, there's no native AI co-pilot, and creative-business workflows like crew scheduling, marketplace selling, and per-industry SOPs aren't there. Studio Plaz wraps the same financial backbone in a proposal studio + AI cover letters + 38 industry-tuned playbooks.
