Run your agency, or exchange files with clients

Taskip is an all-in-one agency management platform - CRM, projects, tasks, invoicing, proposals, forms, support tickets, and a client portal module, all in one system. Droplana does one thing: a focused, passwordless client document portal, EU-hosted in Germany. If you want to replace your whole stack, Taskip is built for that. If you already have tools you like and just want a clean way to exchange files with clients, Droplana is built for that instead.

A whole agency system vs one focused job

Taskip's own positioning is "run your agency" - it bundles CRM, project and task management, invoicing, proposals, forms, support tickets, meeting scheduling, and workflow automation, with a client portal as one piece of that larger system.

Droplana doesn't compete on that ground. It's the client document portal, on its own - a private, isolated place for each client to send and receive files, comment, and approve, with nothing else attached. For the full picture on what a client portal is and how to evaluate one, see our client portal guide.

The decision comes down to one question:

Do you want to replace your CRM, project tool, and invoicing system with one platform - or do you already have tools you like, and just want a cleaner, more secure way to exchange files with clients?

If the first - Taskip is worth a serious look. If the second - Droplana is built for exactly that.

When Droplana wins

You don't want to replace your whole stack

You already have a CRM, a project tool, and an invoicing system you're happy with. Adopting an all-in-one platform means migrating all of it at once, or running two systems in parallel. Droplana sits alongside what you already use - it only replaces the file-exchange part.

You want clients to skip the login entirely

Droplana clients never create an account. They open one private link. No password to reset, no app to install, no dashboard to learn - the friction that causes clients to stall on a portal is removed at the source.

You need EU data residency

Files, comments, and metadata stay exclusively on Hetzner infrastructure in Germany, with a Data Processing Agreement available on every plan, including Free. Agencies working with EU or privacy-conscious clients get a one-line answer instead of a follow-up email thread.

You want signing built in, not bolted on

In-browser PDF signing - type, draw, or upload a signature - is included on every Droplana plan, with a QR code on the signed file linking to a public verification page. No separate e-signature subscription to add.

When Taskip makes sense

Taskip is the right pick if:

  • You want to consolidate your CRM, project management, invoicing, and client portal into one system.
  • You're comfortable migrating your existing tools and learning a broader platform.
  • The client portal is one feature you need, not the whole reason you're buying.
  • The all-in-one pricing pencils out against running several separate tools.

If that's you, Taskip is a strong option.

If you came to this page because you don't want another system to run your agency - you just want a better way to exchange files with clients - Droplana is what you came looking for.

How it works (3 steps)

  1. Add a client. Each gets their own isolated portal.
  2. Upload files, add per-file comments. From a clean dashboard.
  3. Share the link. Your client opens it - no account, no password, no setup.
