Where Tideoo shines
One flat price for the whole business
Tideoo Pro is $12/mo ($10 annual) and Agency covers up to 10 members for $29/mo — no per-user fees and no seat minimums. 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 with no credit card, and flat pricing that does not grow with every seat you add.
Pricing, side by side
One flat price, whatever your month looks like
Tideoo is priced per business — not per person — so your bill never multiplies with your team, your clients or your invoices.

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 Pro is $12/mo ($10/mo billed annually) and Agency is $29/mo for up to 10 members — one flat price. Per-seat tools multiply by every person, so a five-person team often pays several times a Tideoo subscription before any usage fees.
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.
