Plutio
6.6/10All-in-one workspace for freelancers and small service businesses that combines projects, tasks, time tracking, proposals, contracts, invoicing, scheduling and branded client portals.
Data last updated November 2026 · Our methodology
Overview
Plutio is a London-based, bootstrapped business management app built for freelancers, consultants and small agencies who want to run client work from one place instead of stitching together separate tools. It covers projects and tasks with list, Kanban-style column, table, calendar and timeline views. Task dependencies are included. It also has time tracking with timesheets that turn billable hours into invoices, proposals and contracts with e-signatures, invoicing with Stripe, PayPal and Square payments, forms, a booking scheduler, a wiki, team and client chat, and customizable dashboards that double as white-labelled client portals. A newer AI assistant, Plutio Pal (marketed as Super Work AI), can draft documents and update records using monthly AI credits. Pricing is flat per workspace, not per seat. Core is $19 a month for a solo user with up to 9 active clients. Pro is $49 a month with unlimited clients and 30 contributors. Max is $199 a month with unlimited contributors, white-label and SSO. Annual billing gives two months free. Plans differ mainly in AI credits, workflow actions and storage. Custom enterprise terms are available for 100+ users. Native integrations cover Stripe, PayPal, Square, Google Calendar, Outlook, Zoom and Google Meet. Most other tools connect through Zapier or Make, or through a REST API with OAuth 2 authentication. The main limitation is depth and reliability. Reviewers repeatedly say native automation and reporting are shallow next to specialist tools. Some report slow or unanswered support tickets and lingering bugs, and the public changelog shows no entries after September 2025.
Our Rating
Who Plutio is best for
Good fit
The $19 Core plan is built for a solo user, and it bundles proposals, contracts, invoicing, time tracking and a client portal.
Flat Pro and Max pricing covers 30 or unlimited contributors, and white-label client portals and dashboards suit client-facing studios.
Billable time tracking flows into invoices, and proposals, contracts and booking schedulers match consulting workflows.
It replaces several separate tools for small service businesses at a predictable flat monthly cost.
Less suited
Team and client chat, wiki and shared dashboards support distributed collaboration.
It is geared toward client-service work rather than product development, so non-agency startups get less out of it.
Billable time to invoices and client portals help client-service firms, but accounting apps need Zapier.
- Content Creators4/10
Booking, invoicing and proposals suit independent creative work, though nothing is creator-specific.
- Mid-Market4/10
Reviewers describe reporting, automation and support as shallow for larger teams, and the vendor is a very small company.
Custom terms exist for 100+ users, but no SOC 2 or similar certification was found and support reliability draws complaints.
Has proposals and contracts but no CRM and relies on Zapier for CRM tools.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Flat workspace pricing instead of per-seat fees. Pro covers 30 contributors for $49 a month, and Max allows unlimited contributors for $199.
- Every plan includes the full set of core modules, including client portal, contracts, time tracking and scheduling. Plans differ mainly in client, contributor, AI and storage limits.
- Billable time from timers and timesheets can be turned straight into invoices, with payments through Stripe (including ACH), PayPal or Square and no Plutio transaction fees.
- Highly customizable workspace, with custom fields, multiple task views including timeline with dependencies, and dashboards that double as branded client portals.
- Well-documented REST API with OAuth 2 authentication and an MCP server for AI assistants, plus integrations included free on all plans.
Cons
- Native automation draws repeated complaints on Capterra and G2. Some reviewers say they still need Zapier or Make, and one called the automation marketing overstated.
- Some reviews on AppSumo, Capterra and G2 describe support tickets going unanswered for weeks and bugs left unfixed.
- Reporting is limited to dashboard widgets and timesheet breakdowns. Reviewers note weak utilization, margin and capacity analytics.
- Few native integrations beyond payments, calendars and video calls. Tools like Slack, CRMs and accounting apps mostly rely on Zapier, Make or webhooks.
- The Core plan's 9-client cap and lack of contributors force growing solo businesses up to the $49 Pro plan.
- The public changelog has no entries after September 2025, which makes recent development hard to track.
