Denby: a simpler SuiteDash alternative
SuiteDash is an all-in-one business suite: CRM, projects, invoicing with payments, scheduling, courses and a client portal. Denby does only the client portal, and does it with less setup. Prices are similar and both are flat-rate. Choose SuiteDash to replace several tools; choose Denby if you mainly need clients to respond.
Denby and SuiteDash side by side
| Aspect | Denby | SuiteDash |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Flat per firm: $19, $49, $99 or $249 a month. Unlimited team members on every plan. | Flat per workspace: Start $19, Thrive $49, Pinnacle $99 a month, with unlimited users. Annual and lifetime plans available. |
| Setup time | About 20 minutes to send your first request. | Days to weeks to configure fully; reviewers often mention the learning curve. |
| Client login | Clients enter their email and click a one-time link. No password. | Clients sign in to a portal account. |
| White label | Logo, colour and favicon on every plan; own domain from $49; Denby's footer removed from $99. | Extensive white labelling, including your own domain, on its plans. |
| Learning curve | Low: one screen per client, and a short list of things to set up. | Higher: many modules, each with its own settings. |
| Beyond the portal | Deliberately little: no CRM, no project boards, no card payments. | CRM, projects, tasks, proposals, invoicing with payments, scheduling, email marketing, LMS. |
When to choose SuiteDash
- You want one subscription to replace your CRM, project management, invoicing and client portal.
- You want to take card payments on invoices inside the same tool.
- You're comfortable spending a week or two configuring modules to fit your business.
When to choose Denby
- Your real problem is getting documents and decisions out of clients, not managing your whole business.
- You want clients to sign in without a password, so they actually open the portal.
- You'd rather keep the tools you already like for CRM and projects, and add a client-facing page beside them.
Moving from SuiteDash to Denby
Export client names and emails from SuiteDash as CSV and add them in Denby; clients get a portal invitation when you're ready, not before.
Move active files by downloading each client's folder and uploading it to their Denby page. Keep the SuiteDash archive for history until your retention period ends.
The trial is 14 days with no card, so you can run one real client through Denby before deciding.
