Questions
Is there a free version of SuiteDash?
No. SuiteDash has no free plan: it offers a 14-day trial, then a monthly or yearly plan. Drive Workflows has a free version on WordPress.org with no time limit: your Google Drive connected, a private folder and space for each client, and the GDPR tools. You move to a paid plan when clients need to upload and send requests. See prices
What is a good SuiteDash alternative for WordPress?
If your business runs on a WordPress site and keeps its files in Google Drive, Drive Workflows gives each client a private space on that site, with every file in their folder of your Drive and requests that follow your own steps. SuiteDash remains the broader choice if you need CRM, projects and invoicing in one hosted tool.
Can I move my clients from SuiteDash to Drive Workflows?
Yes. Copy each client's files into their folder in your Google Drive, and create their accounts on your WordPress site. Drive Workflows then shows each client their own folder. We can do the move for you, on a free estimate. See setup and services
Does Drive Workflows do invoicing or CRM?
No. It focuses on client documents and requests. You can sell access to the client space with WooCommerce, and keep your invoicing and CRM in the tools you already use.
Do my clients need a Google account?
No. Clients sign in with an ordinary account on your WordPress site. One company Google account connects the Drive, once, for the whole site.
