Indy vs VA Growth Suite
Indy is a clean freelance OS that bundles invoicing, contracts, and time tracking — but its task and portal features lag behind dedicated tools.
| Feature | Indy | VA Growth Suite |
|---|---|---|
| Time tracking with running timer | ||
| Multi-client dashboard | ||
| PDF invoice generation | ||
| Branded client portal | ||
| Kanban task board per client | ||
| Starts at $0 (free plan) | ||
| No per-user pricing | ||
| Built for VAs specifically | ||
| Starting price | $12/mo | $0 free, $19/mo paid |
Indy — strengths
- Simple invoicing, contracts, and proposals in one app
- Time tracking and basic CRM included
- Friendly free tier for very small workloads
Indy — limits for VAs
- Task board is rudimentary
- No real client portal — clients receive emails, not a shared workspace
- Mobile app gets noticeably less love than the web app
Our honest take
Indy is a fine pick if you need contracts more than a portal. VA Growth Suite trades contracts (which most VAs handle once via PandaDoc) for a real client portal you actually share.
When Indy is the right choice
If you're already on Indy and it's working, don't switch just to save a few dollars. But if you're just starting out as a VA — or you're paying for Indy plus a second tool for invoicing or a client portal — we built VA Growth Suite to replace that stack.
When VA Growth Suite wins
- You're a solo VA or small agency (not a 20-person design studio)
- You need time tracking and invoicing and a client portal
- Flat pricing matters more than deep workflow automation
- You want to get set up in 5 minutes, not 5 days
