GOOD QUESTIONS

A few useful answers.

What is client portal software?

A client portal gives each client one secure place to see progress, respond to requests, share files and approve work, instead of scattered email threads and shared folders.

Which client portal is cheapest?

Assembly and Softr have free plans. Among paid plans checked for this guide, SuiteDash and Foyer start at $19/month, though Foyer charges per internal user with a 2-user minimum.

Which client portals can use my own domain?

SuiteDash includes it on every plan and ManyRequests from Core. Assembly needs Professional, Foyer needs Premium, and Angelwood needs the Agency plan.

Do I need a portal if I already use a project management tool?

Project tools are built for your team's tasks. A portal shows clients the parts they need: progress, requests and decisions. Angelwood is designed to sit on top of the project tool you already use.
