Project management for the small agency.
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, and keep clients in the loop - 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 exactly for small teams of 2 to 10 people: shared projects, live margin per client, an AI Planner that drafts estimates from your finished work, and a client portal, all under flat per-team pricing.
Small teams drown in scattered tools.
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 cannot say which clients made money and which quietly 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.
One workspace, built for small agencies.
- ✓Everything in one place from day one - planning, time, profitability, and clients, no stitching separate tools together.
- ✓Flat per-team pricing - the Studio tier covers up to 10 people for one price, so growth is never punished.
- ✓AI Planner that drafts estimates - it reads your finished projects so a new quote starts from evidence, not a guess.
- ✓Client portal with no client login - share progress and gather approvals without making clients sign up.
- ✓Live margin per project - a small team can finally see which work pays and which work to stop taking.
Questions small studios ask.
Is Ancor good for a small or growing agency?
Yes. Ancor is built for small agencies and studios, typically teams of 2 to 10 people. It puts planning, time tracking, profitability, and a client portal 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 $99 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 $149 for up to 20, or Atelier at $199 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 is not punished.
We just became an agency from freelancing - is this overkill?
No. Ancor is designed for the move from freelancing into a small agency. When work is no longer just yours to track, you need shared projects, real margin per client, and a way to keep clients in the loop. Ancor handles that without the weight of enterprise software.
