Zendo
5.3/10Zendo is a client portal and service delivery platform that freelancers and agencies use to sell productized, subscription and custom services, manage requests and get paid.
Data last updated November 2026 · Our methodology
Overview
Zendo is a service-delivery workspace built around a white-label client portal. Freelancers and small agencies publish productized, subscription or custom services through a storefront and intake forms. Each client order becomes a request with its own real-time chat. Work is tracked through custom statuses and fields, with list, table and Kanban views, and clients can reply to email notifications without logging in. The same tool handles quotes, invoices and payments through Stripe or bank transfer, so a small studio can run the whole job from order to payment in one place. Zendo says more than 1,500 businesses use it, mostly in design, web development, marketing, translation, audio and video. Pricing is a flat fee per workspace, with one internal user included and extra seats charged per user. A free plan allows 3 clients, 1 service and 1 GB of storage. Core costs $29 a month, or $25 a month billed annually. Pro is $59 or $49, and Agency is $99 or $79. Integrations are limited: Stripe, Zapier, Rewardful and embeddable external apps are the main ones. The main limitation for project management buyers is that Zendo is built around requests and chat. Reviewers note it has no Gantt charts, no task dependencies, no time tracking, and no contracts or e-signatures, so it suits repeatable client work better than complex multi-phase projects.
