FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Plutio vs Workspace369: which is better for freelancers?
- Choose Plutio if you want a polished, portal-first suite and the Core plan's 9 active clients at $19/mo is enough. Choose Workspace369 if you need a shared inbox with SMS and voice from Voyager ($74/mo, 2 seats), and payment plans and basic accounting from Specialist ($149/mo, 10 seats), on the same client record. Workspace369 starts at $29/mo on Cadet. Plutio prices checked October 23, 2026.
- Is Workspace369 a Plutio alternative?
- Yes, for teams that need more than the portal. Plutio's polished client-facing portal is a genuine strength; Workspace369 is the fit when the business also needs a shared inbox with SMS and voice, payment plans, and accounting on the client record.
- How much does Plutio cost compared with Workspace369?
- Checked Oct 23, 2026: Plutio lists Core at $19/mo ($190 a year, about $16 a month; solo, capped at 9 active clients), Pro at $49/mo, and Max at $199/mo with white-label. Workspace369 publishes plans that include seats: Cadet $29/mo for 1 seat, Voyager $74/mo for 2, Specialist $149/mo for 10, Commander $299/mo for 20, with 20% off annual billing.
- Does Plutio include SMS or a business phone line?
- No native business SMS or voice line — communication runs through portal messages and email. Workspace369 includes 2-way SMS, voice and voicemail in the shared inbox from Voyager ($74/mo, 2 seats), and IVR, call queues and call recording from Specialist ($149/mo, 10 seats); a $50 one-time carrier compliance setup applies only when you claim dedicated SMS/voice numbers.
- What is Plutio's active client cap?
- The Core plan ($19/mo) is a solo plan capped at 9 active clients — fine for a freelancer with a focused roster, tight for a studio with many small engagements. Workspace369 has no active-client caps; plans scale by seats instead.
- Does Workspace369 offer white-label branding like Plutio Max?
- Workspace369 offers a branded client portal with your logo and colors, but it is not a white-label reselling platform. If white-label is the headline requirement, Plutio offers it as a $9/mo add-on on Core and Pro and includes it in Max at $199/mo (checked October 23, 2026).
- Who should stay on Plutio?
- Freelancers and studios whose main need is the polished portal for projects, proposals, and invoicing — and whose communication and accounting are already covered elsewhere. The switch makes sense when those gaps start costing hours every week.
- What should a studio compare before switching from Plutio?
- Compare active clients, open projects, proposals, invoices, payment history, files, and portal content. AI Import brings in clients, services, invoices, proposals, projects with their tasks, and expenses from CSV or Excel exports; keep exports of everything else. Confirm the seats and plan you need before cancelling.
