4 pay-once tools

Manage clients and leads without a per-seat CRM

CRMs and client portals price by the seat, so growth literally costs you money. These pay-once tools track clients, jobs and field teams for a flat fee.

Three steps, no subscription

How to manage clients and leads with Clientdesk

STEP 01

Buy once on Whop

STEP 02

Deploy or run desktop

FAQ

Honest answers

Is there a free option?

Yes. Clientdesk — like every app in the suite — has a free, MIT-licensed MVP on GitHub (https://github.com/bensblueprints/customer-portal-billing-mvp). Buying gets you the signed installer, one-click setup and updates; the source is free forever.

Which one should I pick?

Pick by where you want the software to live. Door Tracker, Bookslot are desktop apps — everything runs locally on your machine, so your files stay private and the app works offline; Clientdesk, Deskly are self-hosted web apps — you run them on your own server or VPS, so your team can log in from anywhere while the data stays yours. Either way, every option here is a one-time purchase with MIT-licensed source on GitHub.

Are these really one-time?

Yes. Every app on this page is a single payment — Clientdesk is $39, Door Tracker is $129, Deskly is $49, Bookslot is $99. No renewal, no seats, no usage meter. The apps keep working even if you never pay again.
