ManyRequests

What it is

ManyRequests is a client portal platform for agencies and other service businesses. Its site frames the product as a way to "Run Your Entire Agency from One Place", and the entry-level Core plan is labeled "For small agencies". It is aimed at the founder or operations lead of a small agency who wants clients and team members working in one branded space instead of across email threads, a separate invoicing tool and a spreadsheet of hours.

It is not a general app builder. You do not design a database or a screen layout from scratch. You switch on a set of ready-made modules (the portal itself, requests, time tracking, billing, CRM and reporting), put them under your own domain, and invite clients in. For a team that wants a portal for its clients without building one, that trade is the point: less freedom than a builder, a lot less setup.

What you build and how

The thing you end up with is a client portal that carries your agency's name. The pricing page lists a custom domain on every plan, and the FAQ confirms the format: clients can reach the portal at an address such as app.youragency.com. The home page adds your own colors and CSS on top of the domain, onboarding flows with self-signup, and multi-language support for client access. The pricing grid also lists an option to remove the "Powered by ManyRequests" link from the workspace and to customize email notifications, so the client sees your brand and not the vendor's.

Inside the portal, the work is organized into modules, each described on the home page.

Client requests are the core of the product's name. Clients submit requests through customizable request forms. Forms can carry conditional rules, requests can be auto-assigned to team members, and the team filters them by priority, due date and tag in Kanban, list and queue views, with push notifications. The client reviews and approves finished work in the same place. For an agency that sells design or content work by request, this replaces the inbox as the intake point.

Design and video proofing sits on top of that. Clients leave comments directly on design and video assets, so feedback is attached to the file instead of buried in a reply chain.

Time tracking lets the team log hours, generate timesheets and see team and client reports and team utilization. The site says it is fully integrated with project and billing workflows, and retainers and invoices can be created from the time tracked.

Billing covers recurring retainers or subscriptions, branded checkout forms and branded invoices, and services can be sold as custom, hourly or credit-based offers. The FAQ states there are no transaction fees from ManyRequests and that you only pay Stripe fees, which tells you Stripe is the payment processor behind it.

CRM keeps client profiles, notes, tags, custom properties and organizations in one view, with clients grouped into teams and segments. Reporting covers project and task analytics, client satisfaction over time, average response and resolution times, and financial and billing stats. A workload management feature, marked new on the pricing page, lets you plan team capacity, track workloads per assignee and avoid overbooking.

Extensions let you embed external tools, links or apps directly inside the client portal, and the home page names embeds for Calendly, Loom and Airtable. That is the closest thing the product has to composing your own portal. A Slack integration, also marked new, creates a custom Slack app that sends real-time notifications to your team and to clients. Zapier is listed among the base features of every plan, and the integrations menu promises "1,000s of Integrations". Webhooks send real-time events to your own tools for custom automations, and an additional integrations entry names Rewardful for tracking affiliates, referrals and commissions.

On the permissions side, the seat model is simple. A seat is a team member in your organization, and invited clients do not count as seats. Every plan includes unlimited clients, so adding the fortieth client changes nothing on the bill.

What you configure is the portal, the forms and the workflow around requests, not the underlying data model. A post on the company's blog describes ManyRequests as a "Customizable client portal for members and subscribers", so the company also positions it for membership-style portals, and the home page lists use cases for design, Webflow, video and 3D agencies.

What the pages state

The pricing page offers a monthly and an annual toggle, with annual billing labeled "Save 20%". The Core plan is $59 per month billed monthly, or $39 per month when paid annually. Core includes 1 seat, and each extra seat is $20 per month on monthly billing or $15 per month on annual billing.

The Pro plan is $99 per month billed monthly, or $79 per month when paid annually. It also includes 1 seat, and each extra seat costs $30 per seat per month on monthly billing or $25 per seat per month on annual billing. The pricing grid lists the following features beyond the base set: Slack integration, customizable email notifications, removal of the "Powered by" link, additional integrations such as Rewardful, webhooks and workload management.

The Enterprise plan is listed as "Everything in Pro Plan" with custom price per seat, API access, a branded mobile app and concierge onboarding, with the line "Starts at $1,000/m" and a "Contact Us for Pricing" button.

The base features included in all plans are the client portal, time tracking, requests, billing, CRM, reporting, unlimited clients, a custom domain, design and video proofing, and the Zapier integration.

There is a 14-day free trial, and the site adds "No card required". It also promises "Free Full Migration Support" and "Live Chat & Email Guidance", which matters if you are moving over from another portal tool. This is a trial, not a free plan: the pages show no free tier.

Support runs Monday to Friday between 8am and 6pm in the EST timezone. The FAQ says there are 3 teams, covering Asia, Europe and US-EST, reachable by email and live chat. A demo can be booked on request.

The home page says ManyRequests "is trusted by 1800+ agencies". Walter Llanos of Prontto is quoted there praising the support team as extremely responsive, and James Alberts of DesignGuru says "Within 12 months we’ve scaled our design subscription service from 5 to 45 team members thanks to ManyRequests".

Who it suits and who it does not

ManyRequests fits a small agency, studio or consultancy that sells work through requests and approvals and wants one login for clients. A designer or content shop that sends files for sign-off will use proofing every day. A team that bills on retainers will value recurring payments, branded invoices and Stripe handling in the same place as the project record. Because invited clients do not count as seats, an agency with many clients and a small team pays for the team only.

It also suits an operations lead who wants a white-labeled client experience on its own domain without hiring anyone to build it. The migration support and live chat help if you are leaving another tool.

Caveats are worth stating plainly. Seats are charged per team member beyond the first, so a larger agency will watch that line grow. The pages describe configuration of ready-made modules, not a custom data layer, so a business whose client workflow does not look like requests, proofing, time and billing will find less room to reshape it than in a true app builder. The API and branded mobile app appear only on Enterprise, which starts at $1,000 a month, so a team that needs those should price that tier before committing.
