A simpler, cheaper way to run client work than Kitchen.co.
Porch and Kitchen.co both give agencies, coaches, and consultants a shared workspace for client folders, tasks, files, and communication. The clearest difference is price: Porch starts at $9 per internal seat per month, Kitchen.co starts at $29.

Porch doesn't yet have built-in invoicing or a lifetime pricing option. If either of those is what you need most, Kitchen.co may be the better fit today.
Why teams look at switching
The single biggest difference between the two platforms is straightforward: at five internal seats, Porch runs $45 a month, Kitchen.co runs $145 a month for the same core workflow of client workspaces, tasks, files, and portals. That gap only grows as a team adds people.
Storage works differently too. Kitchen.co's paid plan gives a flat 500 GB regardless of team size, whether you're a two-person studio or a twenty-person agency. Porch's storage pool grows with the team instead, 50 GB to start, plus 25 GB for every additional seat, so a small team isn't paying for headroom it doesn't need, and a growing team doesn't hit a hard ceiling.
Both platforms give clients their own simplified portal view without exposing internal operations, and both include white-label branding on their paid tier. If invoicing and payment collection inside the platform itself is a requirement, Kitchen.co currently covers that and Porch does not, worth weighing honestly against the price difference.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a cheaper alternative to Kitchen.co?
Yes. Porch starts at $9 per active internal team member per month, compared to Kitchen.co's $29 per internal user per month, while covering the same core workflow: nested workspaces, client-facing portals, tasks, files, and notes.
Does Porch charge extra for client accounts, like Kitchen.co?
No. Neither Porch nor Kitchen.co charges separately for client accounts. Both price by internal team seats only, and clients you invite in don't count toward your bill on either platform.
Can I switch from Kitchen.co to Porch?
Yes. You can start a free Porch workspace, recreate your folder structure, and invite your clients over at your own pace. Porch's free plan includes 2 team members, 2 workspaces, 5 clients, and 5 GB of storage, so you can test the switch before committing to a paid seat.
