Spodus vs Accelo
Five products, not five modules to buy.

Accelo will not tell you the price without a call.
Accelo's pricing page lists no plans and no rates, only a form for a custom quote. Every Spodus rate is on the pricing page, and you can work out a year without speaking to anyone.
Accelo
PSA, quoted pricing
- No published pricing. The pricing page is a quote request, not a price list.
- No plans or rates listed, so a budget needs a sales call first.
- Sold with implementation and onboarding, on a timeline of weeks.
- Built around tracked time, which is the centre of how it bills and reports.
Spodus
The whole suite, one seat
- Every self-serve rate published. The pricing page carries the figure you will be charged.
- Three plans and one free one, so a budget is arithmetic, not a meeting.
- One rate per seat, with all five products in it, at any team size.
- Built around the client record, with the deal, the invoice and the ticket in one place.
The first number arrives after the call.
Accelo prices by module and by tier, so the cost of a year depends on which pieces you end up needing.
Accelo's published pricing
- Published pricing
- No, quote only
Accelo figures are their own published prices as of August 2026.
A Spodus bill has one meter.
- Seats, and only seats: the people you give a login.
- Not contacts, not the customers in your portal, not payroll headcount.
- No packs, no bands. The eleventh person is one more seat.
- One rate covers all five products. A plan sets limits and controls, never which products you get.
Why teams switch.
Three arguments for moving off Accelo, the row-by-row table behind them, and one argument against.
- 01
One bill, not one per module
Accelo sells its modules separately and prices them separately, so the bill grows every time you need another part of the job. Spodus is one workspace with all five products in it, on one bill.
- 02
You can see the whole product
Accelo prices by module, so what you get depends on what you bought, and its own pricing page routes to a quote and a demo with implementation measured in weeks. Every Spodus plan carries all five products.
- 03
The inbox and the people side are included
A shared team inbox, an org chart and time off are in the same seat, and neither is part of what Accelo sells.
Side by side.

Being fair about it.
Where Accelo fits better: it is a mature professional services platform with deeper resource scheduling, and it comes with hands-on implementation.

Questions, answered
Yes. A contract holds the fee per period, the included hours and the overage, and Auto-invoice drafts the fee invoice each period. Approved billable hours turn into invoice lines by task, person or project. Accelo goes further on resource scheduling.
The rates are on the pricing page. Up to three people use Spodus free. Paid plans are per seat from three seats, one rate covers all five products, and it is the same from the third seat to the fiftieth. Only people who sign in count — portal customers never do. Above fifty seats, we build the plan with you.
Yes. A REST API reads and writes records in any object, with a key made in Settings. Workflows also take an inbound webhook and call out over HTTP on Starter and up.
