Freelancers
Before
You say yes to a small extra, then another, and the project quietly doubles.
With PactPop

Your business promises. Handled.
From the first client request to the final payment, PactPop's AI agents help you manage agreements, track deliverables, coordinate approvals, and get paid with confidence.

Meet Poppy
A loyal pup for every promise you make.
Poppy is PactPop's mascot. Like a good dog, Poppy keeps watch over your agreements, fetches your PayPal payments, and never lets money move until you say so.

The problem
Freelancers don't lose money on the work. They lose it between the steps.
Requests, proposals, delivery and payment are usually disconnected. PactPop keeps them on one traceable record.
Agreements live in email threads
When a client asks for more, nobody can quickly answer what was actually agreed.
Scope creeps quietly
Small extras add up to unpaid hours because there's no moment to pause and price them.
Payment chasing is manual
Invoices, reminders and reconciliation happen in a different tool than the work itself.

Intake Agent
A client message becomes a structured brief
Daniel from Northwind Bakery wants a 5-page site, mobile-first, with basic SEO, for about $1,500 in two weeks. The Intake Agent pulls that out and flags what's still missing.

Architecture
Every action passes the same checkpoints.
Requests come in through the client portal. Agents interpret them and propose actions. TrustGate decides what runs and what waits for you. PayPal moves the money, and every step lands in the ledger.
Signature features
Built around the promise, not just the invoice
Scope control, proof checks, PayPal payments and approvals you control, with every promise linked to the money. All in one free workspace.
Try the demo workspaceScopeWatch
Extra asks get caught, not absorbed.
When a client asks for more than the agreement covers, ScopeWatch spots it and drafts a priced change order for you to approve.

Who it's for
Built for people who sell their time and expertise.
Consultants
Before
Milestones drift, and invoicing is the last thing you get to.
With PactPop
Milestones carry their payment terms, and invoices are prepared as work is approved.
Small agencies
Before
Nobody on the team knows exactly what the client agreed to.
With PactPop
One shared record per client, with approvals and a full evidence trail.
PayPal integration
Payments are part of the agreement.
The PayFlow Agent works through PayPal's official REST APIs. Amounts come from approved milestones in your records, never from AI-generated text.

Security & controls
AI that prepares. People who decide.
TrustGate permissions
Each agent tool is allowed, needs approval, or is blocked. The server enforces it, and the AI cannot override it.
Secrets stay server-side
PayPal credentials and access tokens never reach the browser.
Audit trail
Sensitive actions record who or what acted, when, and what changed.
Tenant isolation
Every query is scoped to your business account.
PactPop helps organise evidence and approvals. It does not provide legal advice or guarantee payment outcomes.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Does PactPop move real money?
Not in this version. PactPop runs on the PayPal Sandbox, so every invoice and payment uses test accounts.
Can the AI send invoices or take payments on its own?
Only if you allow it. Each agent tool has a TrustGate policy. Capturing payments, refunds and changes to agreed amounts always need an owner's approval.
Where do prices come from?
Your pricing rules. Agents estimate units of work (pages, features, hours), and PactPop's pricing engine calculates the amount, with a breakdown you can review.
What happens when a client asks for more?
ScopeWatch compares the request with the accepted agreement, explains what's new, and drafts a change order. Nothing is charged until you and the client approve it.
Is the AI's deliverable check final?
No. ProofFlow's verification is advisory. You or your client make the completion decision.
How much does PactPop cost?
Nothing. PactPop is free and open source (MIT). There are no plans, trials or upgrades.
Does PactPop take a cut of my payments?
No. Clients pay you directly through PayPal, and PayPal's standard fees apply.
Which AI model does it use?
Anthropic's Claude by default, behind a provider interface so the model can be swapped. Without an API key, a clearly labelled rule-based mode keeps the workflow usable.
