SuiteDash alternative
SuiteDash vs ClientOS: rent a portal, or own one.
SuiteDash is a hosted all-in-one suite for service businesses: CRM, client portal, invoicing, projects, LMS and marketing. ClientOS is a self-hosted client portal focused on selling and delivering productized services.
The short answer
SuiteDash does a little of everything, cheaply, with unlimited staff. ClientOS does one job in depth: a service store with checkout, orders with briefs, delivery, billing and support, on your own server, paid once.

Is SuiteDash cheaper than ClientOS?
Month to month, SuiteDash starts lower: Pinnacle is $960 a year. ClientOS Standard is $990 once with 12 months of updates, so it costs less from the second year, and the data stays on your server.
