Second Brain vs AND CO

Why Freelancers Are Switching from AND CO

AND CO made a name for itself as a clean, simple invoicing and contract tool for freelancers. After being acquired by Fiverr in 2018 and rebranded as Fiverr Workspace, the tool kept its core strengths — invoicing, proposals, contracts, time tracking, and expense tracking. But many freelancers find they're paying $18/month primarily for invoicing and still opening Notion for notes, Trello for task management, and Google Docs for project briefs. Second Brain eliminates that tool sprawl by putting invoicing, documents, kanban boards, and financial tracking in a single workspace. And during beta, it costs nothing.

What Second Brain Does That AND CO Doesn't

• Block-based document editor — Write project briefs, meeting notes, SOWs, and knowledge bases alongside your invoices and financial data. AND CO has no document editing capability.
• Kanban task boards — Track project progress with priorities, due dates, and drag-and-drop boards organized by client. AND CO offers only basic task tracking with no visual boards.
• Knowledge base / wiki — Build a personal wiki with linked pages, nested documents, and searchable content. AND CO has no equivalent.
• Zero cost — AND CO's premium plan costs $18/month ($216/year). Second Brain is free during beta with no limits.
• Unified workspace — Instead of juggling AND CO for invoices, Notion for docs, and Trello for tasks, get everything in one app with a single login.

Where AND CO Still Wins

AND CO (Fiverr Workspace) is purpose-built for the proposal-to-payment pipeline. If you regularly send proposals, need contract templates, track billable hours, and accept online payments through Stripe or PayPal, AND CO handles that workflow seamlessly. Its time tracking integrates directly into invoices, so you can convert tracked hours into line items with one click. AND CO also benefits from Fiverr integration, making it a natural choice for freelancers who find clients through the Fiverr marketplace. For freelancers whose primary pain point is proposals, contracts, and time-to-invoice, AND CO remains the stronger choice.
