Flowlu
Chose Flowlu
Just super easy to use in comparison to most
Chose Flowlu
For me, Plutio has a lot of functions and it is hard to understand in the short time. In the other hand, Flowlu has a great U.I and I spend less time learning, understand and process it. Also, I choose Flowlu because it supports to create multi company departments in one account.
Chose Flowlu
We have used other finance tools like Quicken. Flowlu may not have all the features as the others and is still maturing, it has all the basics we need. These other tools also do not have task/project management or HR tools which we can also use. This is the big plus. The …
Chose Flowlu
We previously used Bitrix24 and decided to switch to Flowlu because it offers a CRM with better features.
Another reason was the possibility of financial integration that allows setting up the invoice system and payment gateways, making it easier for our clients to order and …
Chose Flowlu
Essentially, Pipedrive is just a CRM system. On the other hand, Flowlu is a platform that combines CRM, Project management, and invoicing in one place.
Chose Flowlu
In the past, we used Asana and SuiteDash for a brief time and finally moved to Flowlu. Flowlu has a cleaner interface and is much more affordable compared to Asana
Chose Flowlu
Flowlu is all in one platform. Other platforms we being using are limited in features. Some of the software we have been using have strong CRM but very limited feature on project management, similarly tool we have been using for project management is limited in CRM, financing …
Chose Flowlu
ClickUp is an established project management tool we used and Flowlu just has so many more relevant features to actually run a company.
Chose Flowlu
Flowlu is a platform that helps you manage all of your operations with a single, central dashboard. Not only does Flowlu help with tasks like billing and inventory but it also provides workers with the ability to capture all their important data for later reference. It helps us …
Chose Flowlu
I just like it better, it is more logical, and feature-rich of course. CNAME is a big plus also.
Chose Flowlu
Although Omnifocus is a great software. It has reached a saturation point where there is little improvement happening in the last few years whereas flowlu is so open to new ideas and implements them quickly since being a web app.
Chose Flowlu
Flowlu was better than every alternative I explored. Flowlu is the above-average "jack of all trades" which covers most business aspects.

On the other hand, be it Wrike, MindMeister, Airtable or Trello boards, they serve well-defined use cases and primarily cover one business …
Chose Flowlu
I would like to say that although they are all great software, I prefer that I get a complete solution that covers my business needs for a fair price. The support that I have received from Flowlu is top of the line. The onboarding is great too. All in all a great software that …
Chose Flowlu
Ease of use wins every time. This was easy to learn and easy to use.
Chose Flowlu
Flowlu has a lot of great features that are especially helpful with project management and team/client communication. The mind maps in Flowlu are a particularly unique feature that's really awesome to use with projects. I like to use mind maps when creating sitemaps of planned …
Chose Flowlu
Flowlu offers an integrated solution that combines the power of CRM automation and project workflow templates, making all the difference when you want to manage customers journey from the moment they are still a cold lead until when they become a loyal customer. And the good …
Chose Flowlu
Flowlu is quick and easy to use, making it simple to configure and set up automations without a steep learning curve. To properly set up workflow automations in Dubsado and other CRMs, you'll need to devote a significant amount of time to tutorials and/or webinars, and even …
Chose Flowlu
SUITEDASH, DESKERA etc… can be a competitor… But Flowlu can stand on its own. With its generous stacking options, this will be a good alternative to the current apps in the market now.
Chose Flowlu
It is really difficult to find the right fit as far as automation because many solutions are not true automation and rather are semi automation wherein a human still needs to push buttons. It is our goal to remove as much of the button pushing as possible. We are still …
Chose Flowlu
Compared to Suitedash and Swell Flowlu is the more mature product, less buggy, more progressive and a team we are trusting on the long run. First of all we are impressed by the transparent positive communication of the Flowlu team, when confronted with critics. Trust is besides …
Chose Flowlu
Tried a few other CRM and one stop project/ client management solutions. Didn't use them more due to the following reasons:
1) Cost Involved - in using it for a long time
2) Technical Knowledge Required - to make use of newer features
Chose Flowlu
Plutio felt a bit disjointed and the UI had some issues, when reported it kind of went nowhere.
Chose Flowlu
Flowlu is easier to use and has more features, with more coming. Clickup feels like it's more 'open' for any type of business with a lot of customization, whereas Flowlu feels like it was created for niches like my own, yet it can easily and quickly be customized for any type …

It's great if you want to set up all of your client management so that you don't have to keep manually going through every step. It's so nice for me and my clients to have all of their forms streamlined and automated.

To manage the workflows of our business, we used a number of tools before we began using Flowlu. It combines CRM, project & task management, team communication, invoicing, and account management into a single tool. We are able to save a lot of time and effort by using this all-in-one solution.

Pros
  • Invoicing
  • Creating online questionnaire
Read full review
  • The system of adding only the features you need by installing as separated modules makes it easy to learn without being overwhelmed by the lots of features.
  • I really like its structure and clear interface. Not wasting much time by searching for the right buttons and settings. Looks like the developers use their own tool for everyday work
  • Flowlu offers a custom domain option to fully integrate fully it into our company toolbox. This helps offering a seamless experience for our clients.
  • The elaborated invoice module was the final argument for us to switch to Flowlu.

Cons
  • Prior to this I was using only Stripe for my invoices and I loved that I could see all of my recurring client payments under "subscriptions." There might be a way to do this in 17Hats, but I'm just not sure. I like to be able to quickly see all of my current clients at a glance.

  • Flowlu should allow user to import their own invoice into app
  • Fellow should have their own email marketing system
  • It should integrate woo-commerce, a big e-commerce platform on WordPress. This will support users will in managing and sending emails to their customers.

I have found Flowlu while searching [for] a collaborative tool for a friend's non-profit organization. As I read the description and made a trial test, I fell in love with the tool. So we are definitely going to renew. Not only because the delivered solutions are great but also because Flowlu's roadmap seems very [promising].

Usability
It's been really great to use with my clients, but I cannot speak to setting it up as my VA handled all of that for me. I anticipate using it for a long time.
Read full review
It is full of features, there are many ways to perform a single tasks. Overall the experience is great [up to] now, support is also good. We normally get support in a few hours. The best is that everything is very easy and self explanatory so we did not find any issue in onboarding and daily usability.

Support Rating
It's chat based so you have to wait a bit to hear back from them but they have gotten quicker with their responses which I appreciate.
Read full review
Support is highly responsive and receptive to feedback. There is an integrated live chat script which allows for intuitive and accessible communication. Beyond the official support channels, they also actively manage a Facebook group for other Flowlu users to share ideas and answer questions. Another big pro in my book is having a public roadmap.

Return on Investment
  • ROI - Saves me time on creating invoices and questionnaires.
Read full review
  • It's helped making hiring extremely easy. Onboarding new clients is a snap.
  • Creating new projects takes minutes rather than nearly an hour on some other apps.
  • I am probably saving 10+ hours per week on work these days because of how easy everything is to set up. Once I get all my training set up in the Knowledgebase I will save even more time.
