Wayfront (formerly SPP) alternative
Wayfront vs ClientOS: rent a portal, or own one.
Wayfront, formerly SPP (Service Provider Pro), is a hosted client portal for productized agencies, with a store, orders, billing and a help desk. ClientOS covers the same ground, but runs on your own server and is paid for once.
The short answer
Both sell productized services, run orders and bill clients under your brand. Wayfront is rented by the month with seat limits and keeps your clients on its servers; ClientOS is a one-time license on your own server, with no seat limit and crypto at checkout.
