Find your fit
Pick your setup — we'll tune the pitch, the bullets and the starting CTA to match.
AI inside, not bolted on
Not a chat box stapled to a sidebar. AI that already knows your rates, your voice and your tax law — and shows up where the work happens.
Your Board of Advisors
Six AI personas (CFO, COO, CMO, Risk, HR, Chairman) read your numbers every Monday and write you a memo.
CFO Receivables up 22% MoM — Tembo Telecom 14d late, third time this quarter.
COO Two crew conflicts Thursday. Resolve before Wed close.
Morning Brief in 60 seconds
Daily AI digest of what changed overnight and the 3 things to act on today — cited to specific records.
Studio Brain that learns
Your rates, your voice, your client preferences — every AI draft sounds like YOU, not a generic chatbot.
“Asante sana Mwananchi, here's the Q3 brand-film quote you asked for — stretched the post window by 2 days so the colour grade isn't rushed.”
Matches tone learned from 14 prior Mwananchi emails.
Why one platform
QuickBooks, HubSpot, BambooHR, Asana & Slack add up to about TZS 615,000/mo. StudioFlow Studio is TZS 120,000/mo — and adds the production tools none of them have.
Approximate monthly costs based on common entry plans (QuickBooks Simple Start, HubSpot Starter, BambooHR Essentials, Asana Starter, Slack Pro). Actual prices vary by tier, seat count and discounts.
One platform · Six areas
Turn on what you need today, grow into the rest. Tenant-isolated and role-aware from day one. Hover any card for a peek inside.
Recently shipped
We ship constantly. Here's the latest, live in the demo right now.
Equipment availability calendar
See every camera, lens and lighting kit across the month at a glance. Overlapping bookings are flagged in red — you catch a double-booked rig before it collides on set day.
Retainers that invoice themselves
Set a monthly retainer once and StudioFlow raises the invoice on the right day. Switch any client to manual when you'd rather bill by hand, and route the invoice to whichever accounts inbox they use.
Smarter bank reconciliation
Import a bank statement and StudioFlow sets aside bank and mobile-money fees for review, skips rows it has already imported, and turns a confirmed charge into an expense in one click.
Not a US SaaS forced into shillings. Built around how studios in this region actually run their books.

“Asante, Jerryson” — not “Best regards.” Trained on the way you actually write.
Knows your tax structure
Sole prop on progressive PAYE? Company on 30% CIT? AI surfaces the right computation per workspace.
Knows your clients

Honest answers
Plain answers — no asterisks, no “contact sales for details.”
The web app needs a connection, but mobile-money collection works the moment a client opens the pay link on their phone — Safaricom/Tigo/Airtel handles the rest. Offline shoot-day notes are on the v2 roadmap.
Call sheets are printable PDFs — print them the morning of, you're covered. Brief notes can be added when you're back online. Mobile-money receipts still land via SMS regardless of your data connection.
Yes. A Finance role can be created with module-level access — they see books, payroll and tax filings, nothing else. Plus exportable statements (PDF + Excel) they can review on their side any time.
Encrypted at rest, audit log of every change, soft-deletes everywhere (nothing permanently gone for 30 days), daily backups. Workspaces are isolated by tenant at the database level — your data never mixes with another studio's.
Always. Settings → Data management → Export everything to JSON or CSV anytime. No clawback, no penalty, no “contact sales to cancel” drama. Your data is yours.
Soft-capped at $30/month per workspace. Most owners spend $5–$15 — Morning Brief alone runs about $0.10/day. You can set the cap higher in Settings if you use it heavily; we'll never silently overcharge.
What you can trust
The plain-English version of the things you'd want a security review to tell you.
Your data is yours.
Workspace-isolated. Other studios can't see anything you do.
Roles, not chaos.
Every team member sees only what their role allows.
Mobile money you can trust.
Every payment is cryptographically verified before it's marked paid.
Audit trail on everything.
Who changed what, when. Available to owners.
Client portal is locked down.
Clients only see their own quotes, invoices and deliverables.
Built for East African tax & payroll.
PAYE, NSSF, WCF, SDL — and KRA, URA, RRA — out of the box.
A note from the creator
“I built StudioFlow because I've lived the chaos — running a production studio in Dar es Salaam while juggling shoots, invoices and a crew across WhatsApp threads, Excel sheets and a paper diary. Every great job came with a tax I paid in admin.
StudioFlow is the system I always wanted us to have. One place that respects how creative production work actually runs in this part of the world — priced in shillings, paid via mobile money, built for studios like ours.
If you're a freelancer trying to look professional to your first big client, or a five-person crew trying to keep your work organised without losing the soul of it — this is for you.”
