ClickUp is built for planning your team's work. Clients can join as guests, but they land in your workspace. Dora gives them a portal made for them, and an AI account manager who handles their side.
A portal, not your back office
Clients see what needs them, their requests, and their files. Never your internal views.
Real sign-off
Approve or ask for changes in one click, with auto-approval for quiet clients.
Briefs, not tickets
Dora asks clients what's missing and writes the brief your team works from.
| What | Dora | ClickUp |
|---|---|---|
| Client access | A portal made for clients: what needs them, their requests, and their files. They sign in with an email link. | Clients join as guests. View-only guests are free; guests who comment or edit use a limited pool before each costs a paid seat. |
| Pricing | First client free, forever. Then $10 per client a month, with unlimited team seats and every feature included. | Free plan, then $9 to $100 per member a month, billed yearly, on their new plans. |
| Requests | Each client has an address. Dora reads every email, writes the brief, and asks for anything missing. | Forms on every plan, and an email address per list: the subject becomes the task name. |
| Approvals | Clients approve or ask for changes in one click. Quiet clients' work approves itself after the days you set. | No client sign-off built in. ClickUp suggests assigning a comment to the client to resolve. |
| Your brand | Your logo and name on the portal and every email. Your own domain is part of a white-label setup. | Custom branding and URL on Enterprise. |
| AI | An AI account manager that briefs every request, asks clients for what's missing, answers in threads, nudges quiet clients, and writes summaries. | ClickUp Brain and AI agents for members; guests don't get them. An official MCP server. |

Planning your team's work
Gantt charts, sprints, workload, time tracking, and dashboards. Dora doesn't do internal planning.
Docs and automations
Docs, chat, and automations live next to your tasks in ClickUp.
Clients who live in it
If your clients already work inside your ClickUp, sharing a space can be enough.
Yes. Use Dora for the client side and ClickUp for your team's planning. There's no built-in sync, but an AI connected to both over MCP can carry work between them.
You can, but they land in your workspace as guests, with their own permissions to manage. Dora gives each client a portal built for them, with briefs, approvals, and updates by email.
