ClickUp client portal alternatives

ClickUp is a great internal project tool, but inviting clients as guests isn't a client portal. These tools give clients their own branded space to request, review and pay, and most work alongside ClickUp.

Why teams look elsewhere

Where ClickUp falls short for agencies

Clients in your workspace

Clients join your internal workspace as guests, and guest seats are limited per paid seat.

Branding on Enterprise

Custom branding is only available on the Enterprise plan.

No billing

There's no checkout, subscriptions or invoicing to get paid by clients.

Built for your team

Views and permissions are designed for internal work, not for clients.

How to choose

Pick the right tool in 4 questions

1

How do clients buy?

Packages, subscriptions, hourly retainers or credits. Make sure the tool can sell and bill them all.

2

What do they review?

If clients give feedback on designs or videos, you want proofing in the portal, not in email.

3

Who pays per seat?

Check whether you pay for clients or guests, and how many team seats the entry plan includes.

4

How hard is the move?

Ask who migrates your clients, files and Stripe subscriptions, and how long it takes.
