# The Scoro alternative built for agencies that bill by the hour

Scoro is end-to-end work management — comprehensive, but complex, per-seat, and with a steep learning curve. Rinkta captures billable work automatically from the tools you already use and invoices in one click, live in a coffee break with flat pricing.

Scoro is an all-in-one work OS — quotes, projects, billing, reporting — but it’s complex, per-seat with a 5-user minimum, and takes real time to learn. Rinkta plugs into Asana, GitHub, Linear, and Slack, captures billable work automatically, and invoices in one click. Flat price, coffee-break setup.

## What is Scoro?

Scoro is an end-to-end work-management platform for agencies and consultancies — quotes, CRM, projects, time tracking, billing, and reporting in one "work OS".

Its strength is consolidation: quote to project to invoice to report, all under one roof.

## Why agencies look for a Scoro alternative

- Broad feature set means a steep learning curve and real onboarding time.
- Per-seat pricing with a five-user minimum, so small teams pay for seats they don’t use.
- Your team has to move work into Scoro and log time there; nothing is auto-captured.
- Powerful, but often more tool than a focused billing workflow requires.

## What to look for in a Scoro alternative

- Automatic capture — the best alternative pulls billable work from the tools you already use, with no manual timers or end-of-month reconstruction.
- One-click invoicing — invoices should generate straight from completed work, with your per-client rates, currencies, and taxes already applied.
- Real profitability — you want margins per client, project, and team member in real time, not just a report of the hours that were logged.
- Works with your stack — it should connect to Asana, GitHub, Linear, Slack, and the rest, not force your team into a brand-new system.
- Predictable pricing — flat, transparent pricing beats a per-seat bill that climbs every time you hire someone new.

## Rinkta: the Scoro alternative built for agencies

Scoro is end-to-end work management — comprehensive, but complex, per-seat, and with a steep learning curve. Rinkta captures billable work automatically from the tools you already use and invoices in one click, live in a coffee break with flat pricing.

### No work OS to adopt. Your tools feed Rinkta.

Scoro asks your team to move their work into one platform and log time there. Rinkta connects to Asana, GitHub, Linear, and Slack and captures completed work automatically — your team keeps the tools they like, and the billable record builds itself.

### Live in a coffee break, with nothing to learn.

Scoro’s breadth means real onboarding and training before it pays off. Rinkta does one thing — turn completed work into invoices and profitability — so there’s almost nothing to learn. Connect, set rates, send.

### Flat pricing with no 5-seat minimum.

Scoro is per seat with a five-user minimum, so small teams pay for seats they don’t use. Rinkta is flat per workspace — one price whether you’re three people or thirty.

## Frequently asked questions

### How is Rinkta different from Scoro?

Scoro is an all-in-one work-management platform — quotes, CRM, projects, time, billing, and reporting in one place, with your team working inside it. Rinkta is focused and automatic: it connects to the tools your team already uses (Asana, GitHub, Linear, Slack), captures billable work, estimates hours with AI, and invoices in one click. Both bill and report profitability, but Scoro is broad and needs adoption; Rinkta is narrow and runs in the background.

### Is Rinkta cheaper than Scoro for an agency?

For most small agencies, yes. Scoro is per seat with a five-user minimum, so even a small team pays for at least five seats. Rinkta is flat per workspace — $99/mo Team, $199/mo Studio, $399/mo Agency — regardless of team size, with no minimum.

### Can I switch from Scoro to Rinkta without a big migration?

Yes. There’s no work OS to migrate into. Rinkta connects to your existing PM tools via OAuth and captures new work automatically; you set your client rates once. Most agencies are live within a coffee break, with no team retraining.

### What is Scoro better at?

Scoro is stronger if you want a single system for everything — quoting, CRM, project management, billing, and reporting in one platform — and you’re willing to invest in onboarding to get there. Rinkta deliberately stays focused on capturing billable work and invoicing.

### Who shouldn’t use Rinkta?

Teams that genuinely want one platform for quoting, CRM, project management, and billing are better served by Scoro. Solo freelancers and 2–4 person teams may find the $99/mo entry point more than their admin pain justifies.
