September 15, 2023 5.0 This tool has been a cornerstone of our success and growth throughout the last year and I thoroughly enjoy using this on a daily basis. Pros I love everything about this software - and the team at Kitchen is really responsive, helpful, and willing to make any improvements that bring value to their platform. Cons I didn't really like the carbonara update - however I understand why they did it and I am slowly getting used to it. I think the reason I didn't like it is because I was getting used to the original layout they had, and then it felt like such a big change. But this is just my own opinion, and shouldn't be weighed as a negative. Switched from [Keap](https://www.capterra.com/p/76390/Infusionsoft/) Keap was very expensive, and we didn't need many of the tools that it had. Review Source HR Harrison R. Founder and Lead Designer Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "An Absolute Game-Changer for Agencies & Client Management" October 20, 2025 5.0 Kitchen.co has completely transformed how I manage client projects. It’s streamlined, modern, and incredibly professional — my clients love it just as much as I do. From onboarding to delivery, it makes every step feel effortless. Pros Ease of Use Kitchen.co is hands down one of the most user-friendly platforms I’ve ever used. Everything is clearly laid out, intuitive, and easy to navigate — both for me and my clients. Within five minutes of signing up, I was already up and running without needing any tutorials. Learning Curve Almost non-existent. It feels natural to use, even for clients who aren’t tech-savvy. Every person I’ve invited into the portal has found it simple and straightforward — not a single question or issue so far. Security Kitchen.co feels very secure and trustworthy. Permissions and document access are handled smoothly, which gives both me and my clients peace of mind when sharing sensitive materials and project files. Project Collaboration It’s a dream for collaboration. Clients can easily upload documents, view updates, and communicate directly within the portal. Everything stays organised and on-brand, which makes the whole experience feel clean and professional. Features The level of customisation is incredible — from icons and colours to folder images and banners. It genuinely looks like our own branded client portal, which adds a professional touch I haven’t seen anywhere else. Task Management & Project Tracking Kitchen.co makes it easy to stay on top of every task and milestone. It’s great being able to see conversations, files, and progress all in one place, without having to jump between tools. Pros – What I liked most: - Beautifully designed, super intuitive interface - Seamless client experience with zero confusion - Outstanding branding customisation - Reliable and responsive support (email replies usually within 24 hours) - Feels like a true all-in-one client hub ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – An Absolute Game-Changer for Agencies & Client Management Cons Honestly, there’s very little to fault. If I had to mention one thing, it would be that I genuinely wish I’d known about Kitchen.co sooner. It’s solved problems I didn’t even realise were slowing me down. Everything works so well that it actually makes me a bit frustrated I didn’t start using it earlier! Switched from [Google Drive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161425/Drive/) Google Drive was expensive and unprofessional. There was no custom branding possible, and left me feeling like I was presenting an unpolished product. Review Source ML Mya L. Designer Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple and Powerful Client Portal for Project Management" March 23, 2026 5.0 My overall experience has been very positive. The platform is easy to use, improves organization, and enhances collaboration with clients. It has helped streamline my workflow and reduce the need for multiple apps. I would recommend it to agencies and freelancers looking for a reliable client portal solution. Pros I really like how everything is centralized in one place. It combines project management, client communication, file sharing, and invoicing into a single platform, which makes workflow much easier. The folder-based system is intuitive and helps keep projects well organized. I also find the collaboration features very effective when working with clients in real time. Cons One downside is the lack of advanced project tracking tools like timeline or Gantt views, which can make planning a bit difficult for more complex projects. Also, some features may require a bit of time to fully understand when starting out. Review Source NA Nikhil A. Founder Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Recipe of Operational Success" May 8, 2025 5.0 It has been amazing to use kitchen for our backend ops! Entire team is super happy! Pros Absolute brilliant thinking behind building this. They take very frugal approach on the development which is perfect for a software like this! Cons Nothing so far! But i would be more happy if the public communication channels becomes more active :) Review Source HD Hero D. Host Broadcast Media Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Delivers a Clean, All-in-One Client Portal That Actually Simplifies Agency Life" March 31, 2026 5.0 Kitchen.co earns a solid 5/5 from me. Setup was quick, and it genuinely cuts down on daily friction while keeping clients happy and involved. It's especially perfect for freelancers, small agencies, designers, and service-based businesses who want simplicity without sacrificing professionalism. Highly recommend giving the free plan a try if you're tired of tool overload. Pros The platform brings everything together in one clean, intuitive workspace: threaded conversations, task management, file sharing, quotes, invoices, and payments. Clients get their own professional branded portal where they can easily review progress, upload files, leave feedback, and even pay invoices securely without needing accounts on five different apps. This has dramatically reduced back-and-forth emails and sped up approvals. Cons A few minor UI polish items (like text wrapping in long descriptions) that the team is actively addressing.

August 14, 2025 5.0 As an agency, we struggled with juggling multiple tools to manage client projects for many years. We've tried Basecamp, Asana, Clickup, Monday, and many others, but they all had limitations and didn't work very well with clients resulting in various forms of chaos. This has added true day-to-day stress and even depression to our team. Do not underestimate how tooling can hurt your org's morale! Kitchen is changing all of this for us. It is truly very close to our dream tool, and with the frequent improvements they release it seems it could be perfected soon especially with task management improvements. It feels like we've found the light at the end of a many-year-long tunnel. If you work with clients and have struggled for years with important emails getting lost, file and doc sharing hell, and generally not having a clear "true north" place to look for project resources, I would strongly encourage you to try out Kitchen. Pros \- Fast and flexible folder/sidebar system to organize your workspace exactly how you want it. - Detailed permissions and sharing for each folder to control what various members of your team and client users can see. - Built in messaging tools that send to email and capture replies (occasionally with errors) to get client conversations out of messy email and into thoughtful and organized in app discussions grouped by title/subject. - The white labeling is complete and thorough! You can truly brand this platform to match your company without clients seeing mentions of Kitchen. - Ability to embed / iframe in other tools, dashboards, systems etc, and control who sees these embeds in the menu list even down to the specific client user. - The team behind Kitchen is super responsive to customer requests, frequently and quickly releasing features and improvements based on our feedback to make the platform better. It's so rare to find a SaaS company nowadays who actually addresses user feedback, WOW! Cons \- The task management tooling is advancing but still a ways to go. No timeline/gantt views, and the My Tasks view to see all of your work across projects is not robust enough to help you plan your week, it's kind of just a giant list of everything. If you are just using Kitchen for project task management, it feels hard to zoom out and see what's going on across your org. - Invoicing and quotes are quite limited right now. We use another system (accounting tool) for invoicing, but it would be neat if Kitchen had more flexible quotes and proposal tooling. However, this is solved by other tools on the market. Alternatives considered [Moxo](https://www.capterra.com/p/133812/Moxo/)[Assembly](https://www.capterra.com/p/214210/Assembly/) Reason for choosing kitchen.co More competitive pricing, better white label features, better flexible structure and generally easier and faster to build client project portals that fit our needs. Switched from [Basecamp](https://www.capterra.com/p/56808/Basecamp/) More flexible organization of projects and folders, better branding controls and white label tools, and Kitchen is even easier to use which is a very high bar since basecamp already is a very low learning curve tool.

Founder and Creative Director Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I’d recommend Kitchen a THOUSAND times " July 17, 2025 5.0 The learning curve was similar to other services I’ve tested, but the team at Kitchen has been patient and extremely helpful with helping me to get acquainted. My experience so far has been nothing but pleasant. I am extremely thankful for the lifetime plan as an option, the white labeling, the team, and everything Kitchen continues to offer. Pros Kitchen is an extremely robust tool for my team. The team is responsive, and they consistently update the services and tools available in the platform. The lifetime plan is also one of the best perks I’ve come across in my search for a tool that will deliver on messaging, task management, granular access, invoicing and more. I look forward to receiving emails about new, unexpected, but extremely welcomed updates from Stefan. I’m so happy my search for the perfect project management, client dashboard, and team access platform ended when I found Kitchen. Cons I look forward to the billing/invoicing abilities expanding. I work with small/growing businesses, sololreneurs, And non-profit orgs; some of my clients have full project builds that come with a larger price tag. Having the ability to automate invoices with a 50/50, 30/30/40 or other payment plan would benefit my team and Our clients greatly.

Pros Kitchen.co has been a game changer in our client relations, project management and project communication. Simple. Effective. Robust. They also have implemented some of the best improvements and feature updates in the past year. Cons It lacks an e-commerce system supported by the SA market like PayFast, Yoco etc for payment collection but that's not the end of the world - just bill your clients through the built in quote / invoice system.

Our integration with Google Docs, and spreadsheets has also worked perfectly. Pros So far, this client management system has exceeded our expectations. We are slowly applying it to all aspects of our workflow. All good so far. Cons Although the name may have been a clever and creative thought at the time, Kitchen.co may need to rebrand in the future.

For freelancers, agencies, or teams that want a cleaner workflow and better client communication, Kitchen.co is definitely worth exploring. Pros From my perspective as a user, the real strength of Kitchen.co is clarity in Navigation, security, taskmanagement, and project updates stay connected in the same space, so nothing gets lost in emails or scattered chats. For teams and clients working together, this makes collaboration more efficient and professional. Cons I don't have any dislike at the moment because the platform has been helpful and I can actually say that there are some of the features which the team are basically working on for better use.

" September 15, 2023 4.0 So far I have had a positive experience. I would like a longer free trial to really decide if this is the best tool for me and my business. Pros If you are a freelancer, this is a great budget friendly tool for project, client, and task management. And really gives your business/brand a professional polished look. I like portal feature that gives my clients secure access to project documents/files in one place. I also like the folder management that allow me to organize project and control access level. And the Kanban boards are great for task management. Cons I would like to have more customization features, more plugins/app integrations, desktop notifications/alerts, and the ability to embed more things like loom videos, weblinks and other apps that I use to run/manage my business. Right now you can only embed short links.

Freedom in terms of a communication with client.
