LOOKING FOR A HARLOW ALTERNATIVE?
Harlow vs. ClientManager
Fluff is nice on kittens. Not client management software. ClientManager removes the unnecessary extras to help you run your business without the frustrations.
Trying To Choose Between Harlow And ClientManager?
We know you don’t feel like spending 3 hours comparing features and pricing.
So let’s just cut to the simple answer: try both options for free and see which one you like better.
Seriously, you’ve got nothing to lose.
(Other than a few hours you would have spent reading rambling reviews, and getting sucked into the Youtube vortex).
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a solopreneur or a business owner managing a bigger team, we’re betting you’re truly only looking for ONE thing in a CRM:
A way to simplify your life.
…So you don’t have to curl up in a fetal position when you see yet another meeting added to your calendar or the zillionth ‘mention’ in your inbox.
No one is looking for MORE COMPLEXITY.
We have enough to go around.
So why is it that most tools out there feel like they ADD rather than remove the complications?
They’re either too advanced, too confusing, or too expensive…
Or you need seven different tools to manage everything you need to do.
Then there’s the ones that actively try to take over your laptop and force you to work the way they want you to.
How about we Keep It Simple, Stupid?
Using – Or Choosing - A CRM Shouldn’t Make Your Life MORE Complicated…
ClientManager is on one mission: to make managing clients simple – the way it should be.
After all, landing new clients should be a time to celebrate. Not a time for panic attacks when you wonder how you’re going to keep five extra balls in the air.
That’s why for the past few years we’ve been working to create an affordable, clean, clutter-free CRM solution that keeps all your client shenanigans in one place…so it doesn’t feel like you’re constantly trying to herd a bunch of cats.
We’ve purpose-built it as all-in-one tool for freelancers and small teams that can easily scale with you as you grow.
And you don’t have to worry about finding three other tools to plug the gaps – ClientManager covers your full client workflow, from managing leads to processing payments, and makes it easy to keep your team in the loop without micromanaging them.
Honestly, it’s the tool we wish we’d had when we started out.
We’re not shy to say it’s a work-in-progress. Because no tool can claim to be perfect. In fact, our Roadmap is one of the features our users love – you can see exactly what we’re working on behind the scenes to add and improve features according to our users’ needs (and wants).
And that’s what makes it so much fun to be a part of.

Clientmanager Keeps It Simple – The Way It Should Be
"I searched for a long time to find an “all-in-one” tool that could handle both CRM and project management for my web design agency.
ClientManager replaced several online tools, solving many of my problems."

The Difference Between ClientManager & Harlow
Look, we don’t like nits - not on us or our pets.
But we’re not here to nitpick. (We’re too busy working on making our own product as awesome as possible).
So we’ll stick to the need-to-know.
Starting with:
What is Harlow?
It’s a dedicated client and project management tool built for solopreneurs to simplify the way they manage their business.
To be clear: Harlow is simple, niche solution for freelancers. It offers the essential project management tools freelancers need, including:
-
Invoicing Software
-
Proposals & Contracts
-
Task Management
-
Time Tracking
-
Client Management
On that last point, Harlow integrates with Google Workspace to help give you an overview of your client interactions, tasks and meetings in one place.
And…. that’s about it.
While Harlow offers a streamlined solution many freelancers desperately need to corral their essential project and client admin into a clean and simple interface, it’s definitely ‘CRM lite.’
This is where ClientManager sings a different tune.
We know that whether you’re a freelancer, an agency, or a growing service business, clients are the heart of your business.
That’s why we’ve built a platform that goes beyond just project management and admin automation (yup, we’ve got all those boxes ticked too), and layers on a comprehensive yet agile CRM solution including:
-
User-friendly client onboarding tools and templates
-
Dedicated client portals you can customize to each of your clients.
Because the whole point of freeing up your time and energy on trivial admin tasks is to enable you to channel more of your superpowers into what truly matters for your business success: landing clients, collaborating effectively with them, and giving them a 5-star experience.
Right?
ClientManager offers a more versatile solution that’s ideally suited to freelancers and solopreneurs, but that’s flexible and comprehensive enough to work well for agencies and small to medium sized businesses too.
Expecting to pay more for this?
Think again.

How ClientManager Helps You Get More Done With Less
ClientManager is purposefully designed to help you block out the noise and focus on what matters.
Here are few ways we’re committed to cutting the clutter:
We won't make you watch a 3-hour tutorial or book a consultant to get set up. (We’re big on 60-second walkthroughs).
We won't hold your data hostage in a million submenus.
We don’t color code to death to disguise our lack of intuitive design. Our dashboards keep things clear and actionable at a glance.
We won’t annoy you with our ‘whimsical banter.’ We know you’ve got work to do. (And you don’t need a fluffer to get it done).
We don’t expect you to shape-shift to fit with our system. It’s there to work for you.
We don’t hide our human support team behind a higher paywall (they’d get too lonely).
**Warning: Using ClientManager may result in increased free time. Use responsibly.
Still After that List of Features?
(We get it. Lists are comforting. Like kitten fluff.)
Here at ClientManager, we don’t throttle features based on budget or how many team members you’re planning to cut out of the will.
We don’t charge per seat, and you can count our pricing plans on one hand (even if you’ve lost 2 fingers). Plus, we’ll never sneak in any hidden fees or try to lure you into ‘premium’ offers.
Whichever plan you choose, you get access to all the features you and your team need, including:
He Said, She Said…
We’ve got some opinions about why users love ClientManager and what makes them choose it over other platforms like Clientjoy, Bonsai and Honeybook.
But we’d rather let them do the talking.
"Previously, we were using 4 tools JUST to manage our clients, contracts, projects, and our team.
But ClientManager makes all of it SO easy with its clean interface and user-friendly platform."
