What you run on

Everything an agency runs on, in one workspace.

Each part is its own tool elsewhere. Here they share one client record.

01

One inbox for every channel

Instagram DMs, WhatsApp, email and your website chat land in one inbox, on the client's record, so no brief gets lost in someone's phone.

Explore One inbox for every channel
02

Proposals and contracts

Send the proposal or contract for signature from the client's record. They sign online and it's saved with the deal.

Explore Proposals and contracts
03

Projects your team can follow

A won client becomes a project from your template: phases, tasks, owners and due dates your whole team can see.

Explore Projects your team can follow
04

A portal for each client

Give each client a private portal with an onboarding checklist, work to approve, invoices and a safe place to share logins. They sign in with an email link, no password, and on Growth they can call you from the portal chat.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I start with just one part of startbuddi?
Yes. Most agencies start with the CRM and inbox, or proposals and invoices, and switch on the rest as they need it.
Can clients see their project?
Yes. Share files and updates with a client portal, so they stop asking for status on WhatsApp.
Can I use my own branding?
Yes. Your logo, colours and domain appear on everything clients see, from proposals to invoices.
Can we meet clients and send them monthly reports?
Yes. Clients join video meetings from a link with no account, and from Starter you can record them and let Chip draft the notes. In Analytics each client can have its own brand with dashboards and reports, shared as a PDF, a link or, from Growth, in their portal.
How do clients pay?
By card or bank transfer through Paystack, or internationally through Stripe.
