Too small for enterprise software. Project management built for small agencies.
You went from one person to a small team, and the spreadsheets stopped keeping up. Ancor gives a small agency or studio one place to plan work, track time, see margin, look sharp to clients, and get paid, without enterprise weight or per-seat bills.
The best project management software for a small agency or studio is one connected workspace that handles planning, time, and profitability together, instead of three disconnected apps. Ancor is built for small teams of 2 to 10 people: shared projects, live margin per client, an AI Planner that drafts estimates from your finished work, a client Workroom where clients review and sign off through a link, and GST invoicing, all on flat per-team pricing.
Five tools for a team of five. Something has to give.
Stitched-together stack
A board here, a timer there, a spreadsheet for money. Nothing talks, so nothing adds up. The glue work falls on you.
No idea what pays
The work ships, the invoice goes out, and you still can't say which clients made money and which lost it.
Tools built for giants
Enterprise platforms are heavy and priced per seat, so growing your team turns into a tax instead of a win.
You don't need more software. You need one that fits a small agency.
- ✓Everything in one place from day one - planning, time, margin, clients, and invoicing, no stitching separate tools together.
- ✓A client Workroom that makes you look bigger - clients review and approve work through a link, no login, so a two-person studio feels like a proper agency.
- ✓Get paid on time - GST invoicing and retainers built in, so billing isn't the thing you keep putting off.
- ✓AI Planner that drafts estimates - it reads your finished projects, so a new quote starts from evidence, not a guess.
- ✓Flat per-team pricing - the Studio tier covers up to 10 people for one price, so growth is never punished.
- ✓Live margin per project - a small team can finally see which work pays and which work to stop taking.
Small studios ask us the same things. Here they are.
Is Ancor good for a small or growing agency?
Yes. Ancor is built for small agencies and studios, usually teams of 2 to 10 people. It puts planning, time tracking, profitability, client review, and invoicing in one workspace from day one, so a small team can run client work without stitching together five separate tools. See how it compares to general tools.
How much does Ancor cost for a small team?
The Studio plan is ₹9,999 a month for up to 10 people, and includes the AI Planner, time tracking, profitability, capacity planning, and the client portal. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial and no credit card. Larger teams move up to Practice at ₹14,999 for up to 20, or Atelier at ₹19,999 for up to 30.
Do you charge per seat?
No. Ancor uses flat per-team pricing, not per-seat pricing. The Studio plan covers your whole team of up to 10 people for one flat monthly price, so adding a person never raises your bill until you cross a tier. Growth isn't punished.
We just became an agency from freelancing - is this overkill?
No. Ancor is built for exactly that move, from freelancing into a small agency. When the work is no longer just yours to track, you need shared projects, real margin per client, a clean way for clients to approve work, and invoices that go out on time. Ancor does that without the weight of enterprise software.
