Plutio

Podcast production agencies

Plutio's flat-rate model — every feature on every plan, no upsell — is increasingly rare. Core at $19/mo covers up to 9 active clients, which fits a small podcast production agency. Less polished than HoneyBook, deeper than Bonsai, cheaper than both.

Plutio is an all-in-one platform for freelancers and small agencies that bundles projects, proposals, contracts, invoicing, time tracking, task boards, and client portals — and unusually, every feature is included on every plan rather than gated by tier. Pricing scales by active client count: Core at $19/month for up to 9 active clients, Studio at $39/month for 30 active clients, Pro at $49/month for unlimited clients. Annual billing saves roughly two months. For podcast production agencies juggling multiple ongoing client shows (editing retainers, monthly content, sponsor coordination), Plutio's project depth and client portal feature beat the lighter-weight options. Each client gets their own branded space to see project status, files, and invoices — useful for both keeping clients informed and reducing 'where's that file?' Slack messages. Where it shines is depth-per-dollar. A studio managing 10 client shows running Plutio Studio at $39/month does in one tool what would cost $100+ across Bonsai, Honeybook, and a separate PM tool. Where it falls short is polish and ecosystem. The interface is functional rather than premium, integrations are thinner than ClickUp or Asana, and the community-driven documentation is patchier than the bigger names. For podcast producers handling actual client work, the math usually favors Plutio. For solo creators with one or two clients, Bonsai or even a paper trail works.
