The simplest client portal
built for solo freelancers.
Built specifically for writers, designers, developers, and copywriters. Give clients one branded login for projects, files, and payments. Launch in 15 minutes on your custom domain.
One login for the client experience and the work behind it.
Pinna replaces the portal you wish you had, the project tool you outgrew, and the invoicing app you bolted on. Clients get a polished experience, you keep delivery under control, and payments land faster.
Win enterprise RFPs by appearing as an established firm
Enterprise buyers choose agencies over freelancers because of perceived risk. Pinna eliminates that bias. Your portal makes $50/hr freelancers competitive with $500/hr agencies.
- Win bigger deals: Custom domains make you unforgettable in procurement reviews
- Close faster: Executives see professional dashboards, not your Gmail signature
- Charge more: Clients expect to pay premium rates for enterprise-grade experiences
Never send "just checking in" emails again
Clients check your portal instead of flooding your inbox. Automated status updates, real-time dashboards, and self-service file access mean you focus on delivery, not hand-holding.
- Save 10+ hours/week: Clients check progress themselves without asking for updates
- Reduce churn: Real-time visibility builds trust and prevents "ghosting"
- Scale effortlessly: Manage 10 clients as easily as 2 with automated workflows
Get paid 40% faster and win renewals before projects end
Automated invoicing with branded payment portals means clients pay on time. Client-facing impact dashboards sell the next phase while you're still delivering the current one.
- Faster cash flow: Automated reminders and one-click payments cut payment time from 45 to 14 days
- Higher renewals: ROI dashboards prove value and prompt expansion conversations
- Bigger deals: Usage analytics show exactly which services to upsell next
The Freelancer OS for sophisticated client delivery.
Pinna unifies the tools you rely on to win, deliver and scale. Every module was built for independent professionals, so nothing about the journey feels bolted on or generic.

Common questions
Quick answers to what most people ask before trying Pinna.
Will clients actually use the portal, or just email me?
Branded portals on your domain feel like logging into your platform, not a generic tool. Real-time dashboards mean clients check progress themselves instead of asking for updates.
How long does setup take?
Most people launch their first portal in 15 minutes. Import your project, invite the client, and you're live. The time savings start immediately.
Does this work for my type of consulting?
Yes—strategy, marketing, product, design, development, fractional work. If you manage projects and invoice clients, Pinna works for you.
My clients already use Slack and email. Why add another tool?
They're not switching tools—they're getting one place to see progress, approve files, and pay invoices. It's an upgrade, not a replacement.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel whenever you want. You keep access to your client data even after canceling.
Do you offer support?
Professional plan gets email support. Agency plan gets priority support with live onboarding and quarterly success reviews.
