Why look for an alternative
Client portals from the United States offer complete spaces: tasks, files, contracts, billing, payments. Most give the client magic-link access, as Kolinea does. They differ in interface language, target markets, whether billing and payment are included, the size of the offering and its price in dollars.
The prices below were checked on 30 September 2026. Verify them before you compare. Other portals of the same kind exist, such as Clinked or FuseBase; we did not record their offers.
Assembly
Assembly, formerly Copilot, is a white-label portal: chat, files, forms, shared tasks, contracts with electronic signature, invoices payable by card or ACH transfer. The client logs in with Google or through a magic link. The Free plan includes 5 active contacts; the Starter plan is listed at $29 a month on annual billing and $49 on monthly billing.
According to a reply from the team on its community forum dated 26 May 2026, French is not available and is on the roadmap with no date. Assembly suits you if you want to take payments in the portal, or if instant chat is central to how you work: Kolinea's thread is asynchronous.
HoneyBook
HoneyBook targets creatives, consultants, marketers and events professionals in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia. It brings together proposals, signed contracts, invoices and payments, messages, files, prospect forms and a calendar, with an appointment scheduler from the Essentials plan. The client receives a temporary magic link, or logs in with a password if they created one. Starter is listed at $29 a month on annual billing, Essentials at $49.
It is built to sell, get contracts signed and collect payment in a single tool. Kolinea does not cover that path, and a Kolinea folder can sit alongside a billing tool.
Dubsado
Dubsado serves freelancers: proposals, signed contracts, invoices and payment schedules, scheduling, forms and a client portal. With the portal's public link, the professional has to create a password for each client; with the client-specific link sent from the project, the email address is enough. Starter is listed at $335 a year, Premier at $525 a year, with a 21-day trial.
If your contracts, invoices and scheduling already live in Dubsado and its portal is enough for you, keep it. Kolinea then works as a complement for long folders.
Moxo
Moxo is a workflow orchestration platform between humans and AI agents, for accounting, professional services, healthcare, real estate or legal. The client's actions (approvals, forms, file requests, signatures, payments, appointments) are triggered in a workflow defined by the company, with no login. The Team plan is listed at $5,000 a year for 100 workflows and unlimited seats; Scale and Enterprise are priced on request.
Moxo is aimed at repeated processes at scale, which Kolinea is not. Its Team plan covers 100 workflows and unlimited seats: weigh that against the number of folders you follow at the same time.
SuiteDash
SuiteDash is a white-label all-in-one suite: CRM, projects, billing, proposals, messaging, appointments, electronic signature, and 100 GB of storage from the Start plan. Its interface is in English by default, with a translation toolkit. Plans are listed "from $19 a month", with unlimited users and a 14-day trial.
If you want contacts, projects, invoices and appointments in one tool, SuiteDash offers it and Kolinea does not. Kolinea is limited to the shared folder and can be used alongside a suite you already have.
How Kolinea differs
Kolinea works in English and French and is built for professionals in the French-speaking market (prices in €, French hosting). It does no CRM, contracts, invoices or payments: it is limited to the shared folder. Messages, document requests, decisions, sign-offs, appointments and milestones run on a single timeline. The client comes in through a personal link, confirmed by a code received by email on each new device, with no password, and can post a document or send a request to the professional. A folder template is provided per trade (house builder, estate agent, mortgage broker, accountant, lawyer). Once closed, a folder stays readable as long as the professional's workspace exists. The Free plan allows two active folders and two team members; Premium costs €9 excl. VAT a month, or €84 excl. VAT a year, with a 14-day trial and no credit card.
When to stay with an English-language portal
If you want contracts, invoices and payments in the same tool as the tracking, these portals cover ground that Kolinea does not.
