Where AgencyHub is different
Every message has context
Conversations belong to a project, so the brief, tasks, approvals and invoices are one click away, for you and the client.
Clients without the noise
Clients get a calm portal instead of a chat workspace, and only see what you share with them.
Chat that leads to getting paid
From the conversation to the approval, the tracked hours and the invoice, in one place.
See the client side for yourself
Your client's home
Work waiting for their approval, their projects, invoices and the latest updates.
One conversation per project
Threads, reactions, pins and internal notes, next to the tasks and invoices.
Invoices from tracked time
Unbilled hours and expenses become an invoice, sent from your own email address.
Use both? That works too.
Many teams keep Slack for internal chat. AgencyHub can post updates to a Slack channel, so the team sees approvals and payments where they already talk.
