We cancelled our invoicing app in month two. The proposal, the retainer and the invoice now live in one thread instead of three tabs.
ClientDeck brings your proposals, projects, invoices, and client portals into one place, so freelancers and agencies can stop juggling five different tools. Collect payments through your own Stripe, PayPal, or Razorpay with 0% platform fees. Free to start.

All tours
Every tour opens in the same lightbox — the video only loads when clicked, so the page stays fast.
It's 9am and a client is waiting on real work. But first you're chasing an unpaid invoice in your inbox, digging a signed proposal out of a shared drive, answering a "quick question" on WhatsApp, and updating a project board no one else opens. An hour later, you still haven't started.
That isn't a discipline problem. It's what happens when your whole business is spread across a stack of apps that were never built to talk to each other.
ClientDeck brings it back together. Proposals, projects, client portals, files, and invoices live in one connected workspace, so the work your clients pay for is what you actually spend your day doing.
Keep your team and clients aligned without jumping between disconnected apps.
One place for your team. One experience for your clients.
You connect your own Stripe, PayPal, or Razorpay account and pay only your processor's standard rate. ClientDeck never adds a platform fee on top, unlike tools that tack a percentage onto every invoice you send.

ClientDeck platform fee
You still pay your payment processor's standard rate. Whatever you bill, ClientDeck's platform fee is always the same: nothing.
Real workflows, described by the people running them — from Bengaluru to Berlin to Austin.
We cancelled our invoicing app in month two. The proposal, the retainer and the invoice now live in one thread instead of three tabs.
Sent a proposal on Monday morning. By the afternoon the project board and the deposit request existed. Nothing to retype.
The client portal ended a two-year WhatsApp thread. Approvals finally have a timestamp and a name on them.
Stripe, PayPal and Razorpay all connect, and ClientDeck never takes a cut of it. My accountant noticed first.
Monthly client reports used to take most of a Friday. The AI draft takes twenty minutes to check and send.
I stopped paying per seat for tools my clients never logged into. Same work, smaller bill.
We moved 32 active clients across in a weekend. Nothing fell through — the portal did the hand-holding.
Five subscriptions became one. The invoice is the part my accountant noticed, the quiet Fridays are mine.
Send proposals clients can review and approve inside their portal. Once accepted, instantly create the project workspace, invoice, and delivery pipeline — all from one connected system.
Track tasks, milestones, approvals, deadlines, and deliverables through collaborative kanban workflows your team manages and clients can follow in real time through their portal.
Generate invoices from approved work or tracked time, collect payments through Stripe, PayPal, or Razorpay using your own API keys with 0% platform fees, automate recurring billing and reminders, and sync transactions with QuickBooks or Xero automatically.
Clients can track progress, review deliverables, approve work, and pay invoices through a branded portal connected to every stage of the project.
AI reports, recurring invoices, and payment reminders run automatically across every stage of the client lifecycle.

Say goodbye to spreadsheets and manual calculations. ClientDeck calculates true Cash-basis collections, receivables, net profit, and profit margins entirely in integer minor units (cents) to eliminate any decimal rounding loss.
Minor-unit integer storage handles currency additions and balances safely, complying with professional banking APIs.
Instantly reflects completed invoice payments, custom expense logging, and project costs.
Bookkeeping supercharged across your workspace
Spreadsheet downloads are placed right next to your active tables and primary action buttons. The export button contextually updates based on what you are looking at.

A note from the founder
I built ClientDeck after watching too many service businesses stitch together five different tools just to do one job. My goal is simple — make running a client business feel like serving clients again, not managing software. If that's the problem you're living with, I'd love for you to try it.
