Best white-label client portal in 2026: 5 tools compared
Updated 9 min read
A white-label client portal shows clients your brand, not the vendor's: your logo, your name and often your own domain. The best one in 2026 pairs that branding with an experience clients actually like using. Dora is our top pick: every client portal carries your logo and name, Dora answers in your company's voice, and fully custom white label is available on request.
Our pick
Dora
Best branded client experience
- Dora, the AI account manager, turns vague requests into clear briefs and asks clients only for what's missing
- Follows up with quiet clients and collects approvals in one click, with optional auto-approve
- Clients can send requests and replies by email or through their own AI agent, so they don't have to learn a new tool
Branding gets clients through the door, but experience keeps them logging in. A portal with your logo that still makes clients hunt for files or chase updates reflects badly on you, not the vendor.
We looked at how far each portal lets you brand it, what custom domains and branded emails cost, and how polished the result feels from the client's side.

What to look for
List every place a client sees a vendor name
White label is more than a logo in the header. Clients meet the vendor in the portal address, the sign-in screen, notification emails, the sender address, file links and any 'Powered by' badge in the footer. Make a list and check each item on the plan you'd actually buy, not the top tier in the demo.
Badges and emails are where white label usually stops short. Assembly removes its badge from Professional at $139. Clinked adds white-label notification emails on Premium at $599 and a white-label mobile app only on Enterprise. SuiteDash includes a branded login and an installable branded web app, though not in app stores, from its $19 Start plan.
Decide whether you need your own domain or just your own brand
A custom domain such as portal.yourstudio.com matters when the portal is part of what you sell, or when a client's IT team checks every link. For most service work, clients care that the portal looks like you and works well, not about the address bar.
The cost of a custom domain varies a lot. SuiteDash includes it on the $19 Start plan. Agency Handy adds it on Team Starter at $99. Assembly needs Professional at $139, and Clinked needs Standard at $299. In Dora, your logo and name are on every portal and email from the free plan, and a full custom-domain white label is set up on request rather than self-serve.
Check the emails, not just the portal
Clients read far more notification emails than portal pages. If those arrive from a vendor address with vendor styling, the white label stops at the inbox. SuiteDash supports custom SMTP and branded system emails. Agency Handy includes a custom email on Team Starter and up. Clinked lists white-label emails on Premium.
Dora puts your logo and name on every email clients get, and clients can reply to those emails directly; the reply lands in the right request. For clients who rarely open the portal, the inbox is where they see your brand, so that's where it has to hold up.
Put real people behind the brand
A branded portal that routes everything to a shared queue still feels like a help desk. Clients trust a portal more when they can see who's working on their account and what's waiting on them.
In Dora, each client gets a lead and a team, clients see their people, and their requests go to them. Each portal opens to a short 'Needs you' list of what the client should do next. Dora reads your website and sets up the portal with request types and a brand library in about a minute, so the branded version is the first version clients see.
What it costs
Assume a 5-person agency with 10 clients that wants its own domain and no vendor badge, billed monthly. SuiteDash is the cheapest route: the $19 Start plan includes full white label, a custom domain and a branded login, with unlimited users. Agency Handy's custom domain starts on Team Starter at $99, which covers 10 users. Assembly's custom domain and badge removal start on Professional at $139, which includes 3 internal users; two more at $39 each brings five people to $217.
Clinked's own domain starts on Standard at $299 for 100 members, with white-label emails on Premium at $599. Dora is $90 for this team, with your logo and name on every portal and email. A full custom-domain white label is arranged with Dora's team and its price isn't published, so ask before you plan around it.

Common mistakes
- Checking the portal and forgetting the emails. Clients see notification emails far more often than the portal itself.
- Paying for a top tier just to remove a badge clients may never notice. Ask a few clients what they'd notice first.
- Rebranding a portal clients find hard to use. A confusing portal with your logo on it makes your brand look confusing.
- Assuming 'white label' means the same thing everywhere. Get a list of what's branded on each plan: address, login, emails, files and badge.
How we compared
- Brand presence: Your logo and name across the portal, emails and notifications.
- Client experience: Whether the branded portal is pleasant and obvious to use for a non-technical client.
- Custom domain: Whether you can run it on your own domain, and on which plan.
- Cost of white label: What full white label adds to the bill.
Rankings weight what decides whether a portal works day to day: the client's experience, how much follow-up it takes off the team, and how pricing behaves as you grow. Feature counts come last. Read the full method.
The verdict
Choose Dora if you want clients to experience your brand as fast and responsive, with an AI account manager doing the follow-up. Pick SuiteDash if you need a fully rebranded all-in-one back office for the least money, or Clinked if your portal is mostly secure documents.
Frequently asked questions
What is a white-label client portal?
A white-label client portal is portal software that shows clients your brand instead of the vendor's. At a minimum that means your logo and name in the portal and emails; fuller white label adds your own domain, your own sender address and no 'Powered by' badge. How far the branding goes depends on the tool and the plan.
Do I need a custom domain for my client portal?
Not to start, because most clients care more about whether the portal is easy than about its address. A custom domain matters when you sell the portal as part of your service, or when a client's IT team checks every link. If you expect to want one, raise it early: Dora, for example, asks you to talk to its team about a custom domain before you invite clients.
Which white-label client portal is best for agencies?
Dora is our top pick for agencies, because every portal and email carries your brand and its AI account manager keeps clients answered. SuiteDash is the cheapest full white label, with a custom domain and branded login from its $19 Start plan. Agency Handy suits agencies that also want orders and invoicing under their brand, with a custom domain from Team Starter at $99.
Will clients see the vendor's name in a white-label portal?
On a full white label they shouldn't, but lower plans often leave a trace in a badge, a sender address or a subdomain. ManyRequests keeps its 'Powered by' line below Scale at $799, Zendo keeps its badge below Agency at $99, and Softr's branding stays until Pro at $119. In Dora, clients see your logo and name on the portal and every email, and they meet Dora, the AI account manager, by name in their request threads.
Can portal emails come from my own domain?
On some tools, yes, usually from a mid or top plan. Zendo adds a custom email on Pro at $59, FuseBase adds a custom sender domain on Advanced at $399, and ManyRequests lets you customize notification emails from Pro at $99. Dora's emails carry your logo and come from your company's name, and sending from your own domain is part of a white-label setup arranged with Dora's team.
How much does white label add to the price?
Anywhere from nothing to a few hundred dollars a month. Plutio sells white label as a $9 add-on on Core and Pro and includes it on Max at $199, SuperOkay includes it from Solo+ at $38, and FuseBase only on Advanced at $399. Dora's logo-and-name branding is on every plan, including the free client, while the price of its custom-domain white label isn't published, so ask before you plan around it.
What do clients see when they sign in to a white-label portal?
Ideally your brand and nothing to remember. SuiteDash and ManyRequests offer a branded login screen on every plan. Dora has no login screen to brand: clients get a sign-in link or a 6-digit code in an email that carries your logo and name, with no password to set.
Can I run white-label portals for more than one of my brands?
Some tools support several brands under one account. Dubsado charges $10 a month for each additional brand, and HoneyBook's Premium plan ($129) supports multiple companies. In Dora, one person can belong to more than one company and switch between them, with notifications kept separate for each.
Why is Dora the top pick?
Dora is our top pick because branding only goes so far if the portal still makes clients wait. It puts your logo and name on every portal and email, and its AI account manager briefs requests and follows up, so your brand looks responsive. Full custom-domain white label is available on request; its price isn't published, so ask Dora's team.
