What's included in every plan

Every Plutio plan gives you access to the same core features. There's no feature gating where you pay more to unlock basic functionality.

Core features on all plans

• Unlimited projects – Create as many projects as you need. Organize them with custom statuses, tags, and views.
• Unlimited invoices – Send professional invoices with your branding. Accept payments via Stripe, PayPal, or Square.
• Unlimited proposals – Build interactive proposals that clients sign electronically. Track when they view and sign.
• Unlimited contracts – Create legally binding contracts with e-signatures. Use templates or build from scratch.
• Time tracking – Track time with one click. Log billable hours directly to projects and invoices.
• Scheduling – Let clients book meetings on your calendar. Set availability, buffer times, and booking rules.
• Forms – Build intake forms, questionnaires, and surveys. Embed them on your website or share links.
• Client portal – Give clients their own login to view projects, invoices, files, and messages.
• Task management – Kanban boards, lists, calendars, and Gantt charts. Assign tasks, set due dates, add checklists.
• File storage – Store and share documents with clients. Organize files by project or client.

The plans differ in scale and extras like white-labeling and SSO, but every plan gets the full feature set.

What you're replacing with Plutio

Most freelancers and agencies use 5-10 different tools to run their business. Here's what Plutio replaces and how much you're likely saving.

The typical tool stack (and what it costs)

• CRM (HubSpot, Pipedrive) – $15-50/month per user
• Project management (Asana, Monday, ClickUp) – $10-25/month per user
• Invoicing (FreshBooks, QuickBooks) – $15-55/month
• Proposals (Proposify, PandaDoc) – $19-49/month per user
• Contracts (DocuSign, HelloSign) – $10-25/month
• Time tracking (Toggl, Harvest) – $9-12/month per user
• Scheduling (Calendly, Acuity) – $10-20/month
• Forms (Typeform, JotForm) – $25-50/month
• Client portal (Dubsado, HoneyBook) – $35-60/month

Add those up and you're at $150-400/month before you even count the hours lost copying data between systems.

With Plutio

One subscription covers everything. Core at $19/month gives you all these features. Pro at $49/month adds unlimited clients and team collaboration. You're not just saving money on subscriptions – you're saving 5-10 hours per week that you'd spend switching between apps and manually syncing data.

Workflow actions explained

Workflow actions are automated tasks that Plutio performs on your behalf. They run in the background so you can focus on actual work instead of administrative busywork.

What counts as a workflow action

• Sending an automatic follow-up email when a proposal isn't signed within 3 days
• Creating a project when a client signs a proposal
• Sending a payment reminder when an invoice is overdue
• Moving a task to "In Review" when a team member marks it complete
• Notifying you when a client views a proposal
• Adding a tag to a client based on their form responses

How many do you need?

Core includes 900 actions/month, Pro includes 5,500, and Max includes 50,000. A typical freelancer with 5-10 active clients uses 100-300 actions per month. A small agency might use 500-2,000. The Max plan's 50,000 actions is designed for larger teams with complex, multi-step automations.

Actions reset monthly. If you're consistently hitting your limit, that's usually a sign you'd benefit from upgrading to a higher plan anyway.
