What actually pushes people off Scoro.
Two are on the pricing page.
Five seats, whether or not you have five people
Every Scoro plan carries a five-user minimum.
The suite is four plans, and the whole of it is the top one
Scoro sells its plans by job.
It is a system to implement, not a tool to open
Scoro sells onboarding as packages, sized by team and by how many apps you connect.
What a Spodus seat is instead.
Three seats, five products, and every product on every plan.
One floor, not four plans split by job
Every paid plan starts at a three-seat floor, two below Scoro's, and there is no plan split by job: every product is already in it.
Every product on every plan
CRM, invoicing, support, people and team chat are on every plan.
Nothing to implement
The five products arrive with their shapes already built.
What you would be giving up.
Scoro does project accounting in more depth than Spodus.

Scoro's pricing structure above was read from their own pricing page on 11 September 2026. Spodus is priced per seat, from a three-seat minimum; customers in the support portal are free.
Clients and tasks come over. The history does not.
Clients, contacts and tasks come over by CSV or Excel, with a column mapping step and duplicate detection; there is no Scoro preset, so you point columns at fields yourself.

Questions, answered
Accelo and Scoro both build billing and reporting on tracked time: retainers, utilisation, profitability per client. Accelo publishes no price list and sells with implementation; Scoro publishes plans with a five-seat floor. Spodus covers the same ground more lightly, with hours to invoice, retainers, utilisation and profit per client, and no Gantt or resource planning. If you need resource planning, Spodus is the wrong shortlist.
Both are agency operations tools built on tracked time. Scoro is the wider suite, with quoting, purchase orders and project accounting, sold in four plans with a five-user minimum. Productive is narrower and more focused on budgets, rate cards and profitability, with its deeper reporting a tier up. A team that needs resource planning picks between those two. A team that wants time billing next to its CRM, support and HR is who Spodus is for.
On paid plans, three seats — two fewer than Scoro's five. Free takes up to three people. Past it, one more person is one more seat at the same rate. Plans differ by records, storage, automation allowance, workspaces and admin controls, never by how many people you are required to pay for. Portal customers never hold an account and never count at all.
Clients, contacts and tasks come over by CSV or Excel, with a mapping step and duplicate detection. Quotes and invoices do not: the ones you have sent stay in Scoro, and new ones are raised here. Time entries, budgets and retainer balances do not import either; you set budgets and retainers up again here.
