Why John Brocas keeps coming back to Plutio after trying everything else

When you run a media business like Paranormal Daily News, you're constantly looking for ways to work more efficiently. John Brocas has tried nearly every tool out there - project managers, CRMs, invoicing apps, the works.

"Every few months I'd see some shiny new tool and think, maybe this one will be better. So I'd sign up, spend a week setting it up, and realize it was missing something critical."

The endless tool search

The problem with most business tools is they only solve one piece of the puzzle. You find a great project manager, but it doesn't handle invoicing. You find invoicing software, but it doesn't track projects. Before you know it, you're running five different apps that don't talk to each other.

"I've tried Asana, Trello, Monday, FreshBooks, HoneyBook - you name it. Each one does something well, but none of them do everything."

I keep trying other tools, but always come back to Plutio.

Why Plutio sticks

What keeps John coming back is simple: Plutio handles the whole workflow. Client management, project tracking, invoicing, contracts, time tracking - it's all connected in one place.

"With Plutio, I don't have to export data from one app and import it into another. When I track time on a project, those hours are already attached to the invoice. When a client signs a contract, their project is ready to go."

The test of time

After years of testing alternatives, John has stopped looking. The occasional experiment always leads to the same conclusion.

"At this point, when I try something new, I'm just confirming what I already know - Plutio does what I need, and nothing else comes close to having everything in one place."
