Flat — onboard every client you want, no per-seat tax.
Wait for their roadmap, or accept the portal they hand you.
Ask the AI in plain language and the portal changes in minutes.
Your clients live on their subdomain, on their brand.

Frequently asked questions
What is a client portal for freelancers?
A client portal for freelancers is one branded space where clients find deliverables, project status, and invoices — instead of digging through email. Kleap builds one around how you work.
Is there a per-client fee?
No. Unlike per-seat SaaS, you build the portal once and add as many clients as you want. You own the code and data, hosted on your own domain.
Will it look professional on my brand?
Yes. It uses your logo, colors, and custom domain, so a solo business looks as established as a full agency.
How is it different from Dubsado or HoneyBook?
Dubsado and HoneyBook are fixed all-in-one suites with monthly fees. A custom portal gives clients exactly what you deliver — files, status, invoices — on your domain, and you own it with no per-client cost.
Can I collect a deposit before starting work?
Yes. Send the agreement and collect a deposit in the same flow before kickoff — wire in Stripe so the client signs and pays in one place.
Can Kleap really build a client portal for freelancers?
Yes. A Client Portal for Freelancers That Makes You Look Pro works by turning a plain-language description of how you work into a secure, branded client portal — logins, document sharing, project status, and invoices that fit freelancers, not a generic template.
