Trying To Choose Between Indy And ClientManager?
Do you feel like spending 3 hours comparing features and pricing?
We didn’t think so.
So, here's the TL;DR:
If you're a solopreneur or agency looking for a user-friendly tool to streamline your sales and CRM, definitely check out Indy.
But, if you’re looking for a more versatile all-in-one tool that combines sales, CRM and project management tools at a more affordable price point, then ClientManager might just be calling your name.
We'll go into a little more detail below.
Of course, you could always just try both options for free and see which your prefer.
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

ClientManager replaced several online tools, solving many of my problems."

The Difference Between ClientManager & Indy
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).
The fact is, ClientManager and Indy share a lot of similarities:
-
They both combine project management and CRM in an intuitive, user-friendly platform
-
They both offer helpful templates, integrations and automations to take the busywork out of client work.
-
They’re both easy to learn and get started right off the bat.
-
And they both come at an affordable price even beginners can afford.
So, where's the difference?
With its cozy coffee shop vibe, Indy is unashsamedly a niche platform built specifically for freelancers - complete with a networking area and a library of educational resources to support beginners on their journey.
ClientManager, on the other hand, is purpose-built for both solopreneurs and growing businesses that revolve around client work.
It combines robust project management with streamlined CRM, client onboarding and collaboration tools to juggle a higher volume of clients, making it a comprehensive solution that’ll stay ahead of your needs as your grow.
Bottom Line:
Indy is a great starting point for new freelancers, offering a budget-friendly way to manage essential business tasks while tapping into a supportive community.
But, if you're looking for a more versatile and robust CRM to help you focus on a top notch client experience, then you'll probably prefer ClientManager.
Ultimately, you should make your choice based on your individual needs and what’s going to matter most to you and your business down the road.
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."
