Where Tideoo shines
Seats included, no five-seat minimum
Tideoo plans include 1, 3 or 10 seats, and extra seats cost a flat per-seat rate only when you need them. A two-person studio pays for two people's software, not five.
The money side, done deeply
Invoices, payment confirmations with proof, client conversations, partial payments and client credit — the whole journey from "work done" to "money in the bank" lives in one place.
Learn it in an afternoon
Scoro rewards a proper rollout. Tideoo is deliberately small: add a client, start a timer, send an invoice — you can be billing the same day you sign up.
Start free, stay calm
A free plan for your first 3 clients, a 14-day trial for $3, and seats included so your bill tracks the team you actually have.
Pricing, side by side
Seats included. Extra only when you grow.
Every Tideoo plan bundles seats for your team, and you add more only when you need them — no per-seat minimums, no revenue share, and a 14-day trial for $3 on paid plans.

Common questions
For freelancers, consultants and small studios, yes. Scoro is a powerful PSA built around five-plus-person firms; Tideoo gives a smaller business everything it needs to bill, collect and manage client credit — at a fraction of the cost and complexity.
Tideoo plans bundle seats — 1 on Solo, 3 on Pro and 10 on Business — and extra seats cost a flat per-seat rate only when you outgrow them, from $5/seat/month. Per-user suites multiply by every person from day one and often carry a seat minimum, so a small team pays for more people than it has.
Not today — Tideoo focuses on the client money workflow. If your priority is utilization charts and revenue forecasting, a PSA is the right category; if your priority is getting invoiced work paid, Tideoo is the right tool.
Yes. Export your clients and projects, add them to Tideoo, and rebuild your invoices from tracked time or from scratch. Most users send their first invoice the same day.
