Best AND.CO alternatives for freelancers in 2026

AND.CO did contracts, invoices, and time tracking well

AND.CO (Fiverr Workspace) was a solid tool for the paperwork side of freelancing. Clean contracts. Simple invoices. Basic time tracking. It handled those things without overcomplicating the interface.

Then Fiverr acquired it in 2018, rebranded it as Fiverr Workspace in 2021, and announced the shutdown for March 1, 2026. If you relied on AND.CO, you need a replacement.

This guide compares the alternatives that cover what AND.CO did, plus what it never offered.

What AND.CO did well

• Clean contract templates with e-signatures
• Professional invoices with online payment
• Basic time tracking tied to clients
• Expense tracking for taxes

What AND.CO was missing

AND.CO handled the paperwork. But once a client signed, you still needed another tool to manage the actual work.

• No real project management with tasks, deadlines, and file organization
• No client visibility into project progress
• No proposals that turn into projects automatically when approved
• No automation beyond basic payment reminders
• No branded client portal for updates and communication

The alternative you choose should cover both lists.

Plutio: the complete AND.CO replacement

Plutio covers contracts, invoices, time tracking, and proposals, just like AND.CO. The difference is what happens after a client approves.

When a proposal is accepted, a project appears with tasks already created from the scope. Time tracking ties to tasks and invoices. Clients get a branded portal where they see progress, upload files, and communicate without email chains. Invoices match the work because they are connected to the same project.

What Plutio adds over AND.CO

• Proposals that convert into projects automatically
• Full project management with tasks, boards, and timelines
• Client portals with progress visibility, file sharing, and messaging
• Automation for forms, reminders, and follow-ups
• Team support with role-based permissions
• Custom branding across the entire client experience

Real customer outcomes

YazMarketing boosted their sales pipeline by 80% after connecting proposals and projects in one system. West 7th Design Studio reduced client support calls by 90% using dashboards and client portals. Cheri Lasota halved her admin workload by keeping everything in one place instead of scattered across multiple tools.

Bonsai: closest to AND.CO in scope

Bonsai covers the same territory AND.CO did: contracts, invoices, time tracking, and proposals.

Where Bonsai works well

• Clean contract and proposal templates
• Solid invoicing with payment reminders
• Basic time tracking
• Accounting features like expense tracking and tax estimates

Where Bonsai falls short

• No real project management for tasks and deadlines
• Limited client visibility into project progress
• Proposals do not convert into projects automatically

Bonsai works well if paperwork is your main need and you manage projects elsewhere.

HoneyBook: strong for client intake

HoneyBook focuses on the onboarding flow: intake forms, proposals, contracts, scheduling, and payments in one sequence.

Where HoneyBook works well

• Visual proposals and invoices
• Integrated scheduling
• Strong mobile app
• Pipeline view for tracking leads

Where HoneyBook falls short

• Project management is minimal after the deal closes
• Ongoing client delivery and collaboration live outside the system
• Exporting data is more difficult than most platforms

HoneyBook works well for high-volume, short-term projects where intake and payment are the primary needs. Less suited for ongoing delivery work.

Dubsado: maximum customization

Dubsado offers deep workflow customization. Forms, triggers, approval sequences, and rule-based automation can be shaped exactly how you want.

Where Dubsado works well

• Highly customizable intake forms
• Complex automation workflows
• Detailed conditional logic

Where Dubsado falls short

• Setup takes weeks instead of hours
• Changes in one workflow can break others
• Project management is an afterthought

Dubsado works well if you enjoy building systems and have time to invest in configuration. Less suited if you want to start working immediately.

17hats: simple and aging

17hats covers contracts, invoices, scheduling, and basic workflows for solo freelancers.

Where 17hats works well

• Covers basic freelancer needs in one tool
• Affordable pricing

Where 17hats falls short

• Interface feels dated
• Customization is limited
• Client experience is less polished than modern alternatives
• Team features are minimal

17hats works for budget-conscious freelancers with simple needs. Less suited for growth or professional client presentation.

Our recommendation

If AND.CO's biggest problem was what happened after the contract was signed, you still had to manage the actual project somewhere else. Invoices felt disconnected from work. Clients had no visibility into progress.

Plutio fixes those gaps while keeping everything AND.CO did right. The proposal you send becomes the project you run. The invoice matches the work. The client sees progress without asking.

If you want contracts, invoices, and time tracking without real project management, Bonsai feels like AND.CO. If you want everything connected so the paperwork and the work live in the same place, Plutio is the upgrade AND.CO never became.
