Both give clients a portal for requests. ManyRequests is built around billing productized services. Dora is built around the requests themselves, with an AI account manager who briefs them and gets them signed off.
Pay per client, not per seat
Bring your whole team and every contractor. Seats are unlimited; you pay for the clients you serve.
Briefs that write themselves
Dora asks clients what's missing and turns vague requests into clear briefs before work starts.
Free for your first client
No trial clock. Run a real client on Dora for as long as you like.
| What | Dora | ManyRequests |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | First client free, forever. Then $10 per client a month, with unlimited team seats and every feature included. | From $59 a month ($39 billed yearly) with one seat included; extra seats $20 to $30 a month. Unlimited clients. 14-day trial, no free plan. |
| AI | An AI account manager that briefs every request, asks clients for what's missing, answers in threads, nudges quiet clients, and writes summaries. | Lists AI-assisted comments and briefs; their pricing page doesn't say what they do. |
| Requests by email | Each client has an address. Dora reads every email, writes the brief, and asks for anything missing. | Registered clients can email requests: the subject becomes the title and the body the description. |
| Approvals | Clients approve or ask for changes in one click. Quiet clients' work approves itself after the days you set. | Proofing with comments on design and video files. |
| Billing clients | Not included. Dora bills you, not your clients; keep your invoicing tool. | Built in: Stripe invoices, subscriptions, retainers, credits, and checkout forms. |
| Your brand | Your logo and name on the portal and every email. Your own domain is part of a white-label setup. | Custom domain on every plan; removing their branding needs Pro. |
| Your own AI | An MCP server for your whole team and your clients, each with their own access, on every plan. | An MCP server for admins. |

What we say about ManyRequests comes from their public site, checked October 25, 2026. If something has changed, tell us and we'll fix it.
Billing in the same tool
If you want subscriptions, credits, checkout, and invoices next to the requests, ManyRequests has them built in.
Time tracking
ManyRequests tracks time and syncs with Hubstaff. Dora doesn't track time.
Proofing files
Comments pinned on design and video files are built into ManyRequests.
It is if your pain is the requests themselves: vague asks, chasing feedback, and getting sign-off. If you mainly need to bill clients for subscriptions in the same tool, ManyRequests covers that and Dora doesn't.
It depends on your team and client count. ManyRequests charges per team seat with unlimited clients. Dora charges $10 per client after your first, with unlimited seats, so a bigger team doesn't cost more.
There's no one-click import yet. Adding a client takes about a minute, since Dora sets them up from their website, and a connected AI like Claude can create their open requests through Dora's MCP.
