How the numbers are made
Each tool is priced from its own pricing page. Where a page is unclear, we use the reading that makes the other tool cheaper, not us.
Wayfront
Pricing- Base: $129/mo, $99/mo yearly · 5 seats, then $20 ($18 yearly) each
- Pro: $299/mo, $249/mo yearly · 10 seats, then $20 ($18 yearly) each
Extra seats are listed under Pro ($20/mo, $18 yearly). We assume Base can add them at the same price, the cheaper reading. Plus (50+ people) is quote-only.
ManyRequests
Pricing- Core: $59/mo, $39/mo yearly · 1 seat, then $20 ($15 yearly) each
- Pro: $99/mo, $79/mo yearly · 1 seat, then $30 ($25 yearly) each
Uses the seat prices on the plan cards. Removing “Powered by” needs Pro.
SuiteDash
Pricing- Start: $19/mo, $15/mo yearly · unlimited seats
Unlimited staff and clients on every plan; Start is $180 a year. Bigger plans add features, not seats.
Agency Handy
Pricing- Team Starter: $99/mo · 10 seats
- Business Pro: $199/mo · 30 seats
The $29 Freelancer plan is sold out. The page lists no yearly price or extra-user price, so yearly is shown at the monthly rate and teams over 30 are not priced.
Plutio
Pricing- Core: $19/mo, $15.83/mo yearly · 1 seat · 9 clients
- Pro: $49/mo, $40.83/mo yearly · 30 seats
- Max: $199/mo, $165.83/mo yearly · unlimited seats
Core is for one person and 9 active clients. Pro’s fee for contributors past 30 is not listed, so larger teams are priced on Max.
ClientOS
Packages- Starter: $990 once · 1 year of updates, you install it
- Pro: $1,790 once · 3 years of updates, we install it
- Agency: $2,690 once · Lifetime updates, we install and migrate you
Unlimited staff and clients on every package. Add your own server: a 2–4 GB VPS, about $10–25 a month. We make ClientOS.
Not in the totals: Assembly. Its pricing page does not show Professional and Advanced prices as readable text, and it caps internal users at 3–5 below a quote-only Enterprise plan.
Questions
About the calculator
Why does the cheapest plan change as I add people?
Most hosted portals charge per seat past a limit. The calculator prices every plan of each tool for your team and shows the cheapest one that fits, so a big team on a small plan with many extra seats can beat the next plan up, or the other way round.
Is SuiteDash really that cheap?
Yes, at list price. SuiteDash does not charge per user, so its Start plan stays $180 a year at any team size. Reviewers say it takes the longest to set up, and it is not shaped around productized services, so the low price buys you setup work.
What does the ClientOS figure include?
The one-time package price plus your own server for every month of the period. It leaves out update renewals after the package’s update years end, because ClientOS keeps running without them and the renewal price is not published.
Can I share my result?
Yes. Your settings are saved in the page address as you change them, so copying the link from your browser shares the same numbers.
Price is one part. Compare the features too.
