Plutio combines projects, tasks, time tracking, proposals, contracts, invoices, forms and scheduling, and every plan includes a client portal. Clients accept an invite, set a password once, and return to see live project progress, shared files, the message thread and a payment button for each open invoice. Visibility is set per client, so a design client can see tasks and a file folder while a retainer client sees only invoices and payment history. With the white-label add-on, the portal runs on your own domain with no Plutio branding. Core costs $19 a month for solo work with 9 active clients, Pro costs $49 with unlimited active clients and 30 contributors, and Max costs $199 with unlimited contributors, white label and single sign-on included. Yearly billing gives 2 months free. The limits matter: Core's 9-client cap and the separate white-label fee push many studios to Pro plus the add-on.
