TLDR (Summary)
AND CO was acquired by Fiverr, rebranded to Fiverr Workspace, and shut down on March 1, 2026. The platform no longer exists, and all data stored on the service is permanently gone. AND CO handled invoicing, contracts, time tracking, and proposals but never had project management, Kanban boards, Gantt charts, or branded client portals. Plutio is a fully branded platform where invoicing, projects, time tracking, proposals, contracts, and client portals are all connected. When a proposal gets signed, the project creates itself, tracked hours flow into invoices, and clients check progress and pay from a branded portal.
Project management that AND CO never had
AND CO had no project management at all. There were no Kanban boards, no Gantt timelines, no task dependencies, and no milestone tracking. Plutio has all four built in.
AND CO was a billing tool. The workflow covered invoicing, contracts, and time tracking, but once the contract was signed, the actual project work lived somewhere else. Freelancers managed tasks in Asana, Trello, or a spreadsheet, then switched back to AND CO to log hours and send invoices. Every status update, every file, and every client question lived in a different app.
Plutio's project management starts with Kanban boards and adds what AND CO never offered: Gantt timelines that show dependencies between tasks, milestones that mark phase transitions, and templates that create entire project structures from a single click. A website project can have design, development, and launch phases with tasks that automatically unlock when the previous phase finishes.
The real difference is how the project work and the billing connect. In Plutio, time tracked on a task feeds into an invoice line item, a completed milestone triggers a client notification, and project status updates in the client portal without sending a single email.
Plutio's project management connects tasks to time tracking, invoicing, and client portals, so the work and the billing run from the same place.
Invoicing that connects to projects, not just contracts
AND CO had invoicing, but the invoices lived in isolation. There was no project context, no automatic line items from tracked hours, and no connection between the invoice and the work being delivered. Plutio's invoicing pulls tracked hours into invoices automatically.
In AND CO, invoicing meant creating a new invoice, manually typing line items, and sending the PDF. Hourly billing required copying numbers from the time tracker into the invoice, a process that happened every billing cycle for every client. Recurring invoices existed but lacked late payment reminders or automated follow-ups.
In Plutio, invoices populate from a date range with every tracked hour, task name, and rate already filled in, so there's no copying from a separate tracker or reconciling from memory at the end of the month.
Recurring invoices auto-send on schedule with late payment reminders built in. Payment processing through Stripe, PayPal, or bank transfer happens inside the same platform. Multi-currency support lets international freelancers bill clients in local currencies without workarounds.
Plutio's invoicing turns tracked hours into paid invoices without copying numbers between apps.
Proposals and contracts that create projects automatically
AND CO had proposals and contracts, but the workflow ended at the signed document. Nothing happened after the signature. In Plutio, a signed proposal creates the project, attaches the contract, and activates the client portal in one step.
In AND CO, proposals converted to contracts, but the project setup was manual. After the client signed, the freelancer still needed to create tasks somewhere else, set up file sharing in another tool, and manually track hours against the project. The signed document and the actual work lived in separate systems.
Plutio's proposal builder includes drag-and-drop sections, pricing tables, and built-in e-signatures. Clients review and sign from any device. When the signature goes through, Plutio creates the project with pre-configured tasks and deadlines based on the proposal scope.
Contracts attach to proposals and projects, so the signed scope stays connected to the actual work. The client portal activates with branded access, and the first invoice can generate directly from the approved pricing in the proposal.
In Plutio, a signed proposal becomes a live project with contracts, tasks, and client portal access, all from one signed document.
Time tracking that feeds into invoices and projects
AND CO had time tracking, but the timer was disconnected from project context. Hours logged on tasks didn't feed into invoices automatically, so every billing cycle meant manual reconciliation between the tracker and the invoice.
AND CO's time tracking worked as a standalone timer. Start the clock, stop the clock, log the hours. But creating an invoice from those hours required manually selecting entries and building the line items by hand. For freelancers billing multiple clients with different rates, the end-of-month invoice process took hours instead of minutes.
Plutio's time tracking runs inside every project. A built-in timer starts from any task with one click, or hours get logged manually with notes and rates attached. Billable and non-billable hours stay separated so only client-facing work hits the invoice.
At invoice time, tracked hours convert to line items with the task name, duration, and hourly rate already filled in, so there's no guesswork when the invoice goes out.
Every hour tracked in Plutio turns into an invoice line item without manual entry or app switching.
Client portals that AND CO never offered
AND CO had no client portal. Clients received invoices and contracts by email but had no way to check project progress, upload files, or track milestones. Plutio's portals give clients a branded workspace for the entire project.
In AND CO, every client interaction happened through email. Status updates, file requests, invoice reminders, and contract reviews all went through the inbox. The freelancer served as the middleman between the work happening in project management tools and the client waiting for updates.
Plutio's client portals are branded with a custom logo, colors, and domain. Clients log in and see project progress alongside milestones, shared files, outstanding invoices, and messages.
Files upload directly to the project instead of arriving as email attachments. Messages attach to specific tasks so conversations stay in context. Clients approve deliverables and pay invoices from the portal without downloading separate apps or juggling multiple logins.
Plutio's client portals replace status update emails with a branded space where clients track progress, share files, and pay invoices.
With Plutio we don't jump between apps anymore! Everything from projects to invoicing is finally connected in one fully-branded app.
How to switch from AND CO to Plutio
AND CO is already shut down. The migration is no longer optional, it's a matter of where the next invoice gets sent from.
- Start a free trial: Plutio offers 14 days of full access with no credit card required. Every feature, including projects, invoicing, proposals, time tracking, and client portals, works from day one.
- Import client contacts: If client data was exported from AND CO before the March 1 deadline, import the CSV into Plutio. Client names, emails, and details carry over in minutes. If the data wasn't exported, rebuild the client list from email records and past invoices saved locally.
- Set up a project template: Create one project template with the standard task list, milestones, and deliverable structure. Every new project starts from the template instead of manual setup.
- Recreate invoice and contract templates: Build invoice templates with branding, payment terms, and rate structures. Set up contract templates for the most common engagement types. Both connect to proposals so the workflow runs in sequence.
- Send the next proposal from Plutio: When the client signs, the project creates automatically with the template structure, portal access, and contract attached. Time tracking starts inside the project from day one.
- Connect payment processing: Link Stripe, PayPal, or bank transfer so clients can pay invoices directly from the platform. Recurring invoices auto-send on schedule with late payment reminders built in.
AND CO users who exported data before the shutdown have CSV files and PDF records to reference. The historical records stay as backup. Every new client, invoice, and project starts fresh on Plutio with the project management, time tracking, and client portals that AND CO never had.
The platform is gone. The switch isn't between projects, it's immediate. New clients start on Plutio today while historical AND CO records stay in exported files.
