Client portal pricing in 2026: what 14 tools cost
Prices checked on each vendor's site
Client portals cost anywhere from free to about $400 a month for a 10-person agency, depending on how each tool charges. SuiteDash is a flat $19 for any team size, seat-based tools like ManyRequests and Zendo add $8 to $17 per person, Assembly charges by client contacts and internal users, and Dora charges $10 per client with unlimited seats, so a 6-person studio with 6 retainer clients pays $50. The table shows what each costs at five common team sizes, and what the price includes.

How each tool charges
Per client: first free, then $10 each. Unlimited seats.
Team size never changes the price; client count does. Archived clients drop off at the next renewal.
By client contacts and internal users.
The free plan covers 5 contacts and 1 user; Starter ($49) covers 50 contacts but can't add users.
Plan with seats included, plus paid extra seats. Unlimited clients.
Slack, webhooks and the API need Pro ($99 with 5 seats, then $14 per seat).
Tiers by clients, contacts and team members.
Solo ($12) stops at 3 clients and Solo+ ($38) at 5, so ten or more clients means Business.
Per user on Start Up, then flat tiers by members.
Counts team users only. Clinked doesn't say whether client logins count as users; if they do, Standard at $299 covers 100 members. Start Up has no custom URL.
Flat per plan, with team members capped below Premium.
If Essentials' 2 team members don't include the owner, a 3-person team fits it; if they do, it needs Premium at $129.
Plan with 1 user, plus paid extra users. Unlimited clients from Core.
The free plan covers 3 clients. A custom domain needs Pro ($59, extra users $12.50).
Flat per plan, with client and contributor limits.
Core has no team members. White label is a $9 add-on below Max.
Tiers by members, portals and clients.
Essentials includes 10 portals; extra portals are $20 each. White label needs Advanced.
By builders and app users (team and client).
You build the portal yourself. Removing Softr branding needs Pro.
Flat tiers with users included.
A custom domain needs Team Starter. Business Pro ($199) covers 30 users.
Flat per plan; 3 extra users free, then a user tier.
Scheduling, workflows, Zapier and QuickBooks need Premier ($55).

Automations, onboarding and support tickets need Pinnacle at $99.
How we worked it out
- Every price comes from the vendor's own pricing page, checked November 8, 2026, at list price and billed monthly.
- Each team gets the cheapest plan that fits its headcount, client count and client contacts. Client contacts are the people who sign in: one per client for the solo case, about two per client otherwise.
- Features beyond the basics, like a custom domain, automations or white label, aren't required. Where they change the price, the tool's note says so.
- Tax, payment processing fees and optional add-ons are left out. Yearly billing is cheaper for most tools.
- Where a vendor doesn't publish a price, the table says so instead of estimating.

Frequently asked questions
How much does client portal software cost?
For a small team, most client portals cost between free and about $150 a month at list price, and a 10-person agency can pay anywhere from $19 to around $400. The spread comes from how each tool charges: a flat fee, per team seat, per client contact, or per client.
What is the cheapest client portal?
On price alone, SuiteDash is the cheapest for teams, at $19 a month flat with unlimited users and clients. For a solo freelancer with up to five client contacts, Assembly's free plan costs nothing, and Dora is free for the first client. Cheapest isn't always lowest total cost: setup time and the hours spent chasing clients count too.
Which pricing model is best: per seat, per client or flat?
It depends on what grows faster in your business. Per-seat pricing grows with headcount, per-client pricing grows with revenue, and flat pricing stays put until you hit a plan limit. Agencies that add clients faster than staff usually prefer flat or per-seat; teams that hire faster than they win clients do better per client.
Why does Dora cost more for bigger client lists?
Dora charges $10 a month per client after the first, with unlimited team seats, so a 10-person agency with 40 clients pays $390. The trade is that its AI account manager handles briefing, follow-up and sign-off for every one of those clients, which is time a team would otherwise spend by hand.
Are there hidden costs in client portal pricing?
The common ones are extra seats or users, features locked to higher plans such as a custom domain or automations, payment processing fees if you bill through the portal, and separate charges for AI. Each tool's note on this page lists the ones that apply.
How often is this pricing updated?
Prices are checked on each vendor's own pricing page and the date is shown on this page. We recheck them regularly and at least once a quarter, and every figure reflects 2026 list prices billed monthly.
