Best for

Independent service businesses and creatives that want leads, projects, contracts, payments and client communication in one clientflow platform.

Not ideal for

Teams that need a traditional sales CRM, deep developer APIs or advanced workflow automation on the entry plan.

Strengths

Starter combines unlimited clients/projects with invoices, payments, proposals, contracts and a client portal.
Built-in AI and professional templates support common independent-business workflows.
Starter includes one active Scheduler session; Essentials expands scheduling and adds automations and QuickBooks Online integration.

Limitations

Starter is limited to one active Scheduler session; automations require Essentials or higher.
The platform is oriented toward independent service businesses rather than complex B2B sales organizations.
API access is not positioned as a general public developer platform in current official materials.

Before you choose a plan

The starting price is a reference. It does not establish which plan covers your requirements or what your team will pay.

Test one real workflow from start to finish.
- Run one client from proposal and contract through project delivery to an invoice.
- Test what the client can see, approve and download in the portal.
- Check project, document, signature and collaborator limits before choosing a plan.
Confirm the plan, seats, usage limits and required add-ons with the vendor.
Compare the complete cost for the same term and currency, including taxes and setup.
