Two different jobs in your software stack

A client portal and an ad server solve different problems. Neither is automatically a substitute for your CRM, cloud backup or website analytics.

ClientDesk: keep a client project visible

The published Free plan offers one client, 1GB of storage, project progress and a shareable portal link. Pro is listed at $12/month with ten clients, 5GB, file sharing, messaging and white-label branding. Business is $29/month with unlimited clients, 25GB and a custom domain. These limits matter before replacing another tool.

When is an ad-sales portal worth adding?

Consider it when you own ad inventory and have people ready to buy it. A portal can reduce manual campaign setup, but it cannot create advertiser demand. If direct ad sales are not part of your work, keep this out of your stack.

Three checks before a paid subscription

  1. Ask a real prospective advertiser whether the proposed placement, audience and rate meet a need. Do not infer demand from your own test clicks.
  2. In a test environment, check creative approval, targeting and unsold-slot fallback. Verify reporting against your own observations before relying on it for billing.
  3. Confirm payment-provider charges, cancellation, data exports and the effort to remove ad tags. Keep your existing arrangement until delivery and records are sound.
