Creative Manager Pro offers the most complete free user login on the market. In the last few months they have continued investing in this area of the system by adding the ability for free users to approve estimates, view the status of project assignments, add files to digital asset management, participate in project discussions via the diary, and now to view open and paid invoices. These new features are in addition to the ability to request new work, view calendar/gantt charts, review artwork online, view budgets and actual charges at billable, and review project specifications.
