We're building it. This page collects an early-access list so we can tell people who actually have this problem when it ships and how to get in first. Joining does not create an account, start a trial, or charge you anything.

What it will do
  • Burn rate and margin, forecast per project

    Pull logged time, budget, and capacity data from Jira/Tempo and turn it into a running burn-rate and margin forecast per project, e.g. "at this pace, this project blows budget in 11 days, margin drops to X%."

  • One dashboard, refreshed automatically

    One dashboard, refreshed automatically as time is logged. No manual spreadsheet rebuild per project.

  • Read-only by design

    Read-only against Jira and Tempo. It doesn't touch permissions, budgets, or logged time.

What it won't do at launch
  • Doesn't replace time logging. You still log hours in Tempo or native Jira worklogs; BillableCompass reads that data, it doesn't capture it.

  • No invoicing or client billing in v1. Forecasting only.

  • The forecast model at launch is a straight-line burn-rate projection, not a full probabilistic model with confidence bands. That's a stated roadmap item, not a day-one feature.

  • Requires Jira/Tempo admin access to connect. A short setup step, not instant.

Why this exists

Today the forecast is assembled from three separately priced products.

Getting from raw logged hours in Jira to a margin forecast today means stacking three separate Tempo products: Tempo Timesheets, Tempo Capacity Planner (which tracks plan-vs-actual, not a forward-looking forecast), and the Tempo Financial Manager add-on for cost/revenue projection. Each is priced separately on tempo.io's own pricing pages and the Atlassian Marketplace listing for Tempo Budgets (checked August 2026). BillableCompass is a single tool aimed at agencies who want the forecast without buying and configuring all three.

$299/ month

This is the real price we plan to charge if we build it, not an introductory rate, not a discount that expires. We're showing it now so the people joining this list are the people who would actually pay it. No card required to join.
