Moxie — strengths
- Pipeline, proposals, contracts, invoices, and time tracker bundled
- Beautiful client portal with branding
- Active community of solo freelancers
Moxie — limits for VAs
- $24/mo is steep for VAs charging $5–$15/hr
- Steep learning curve — feature set is bigger than most VAs use
- No native multi-currency invoicing on starter tier
Our honest take
Moxie is excellent if you're an established freelancer billing $40+/hr in USD. VA Growth Suite is built for the scrappier reality of VAs juggling 5 clients at a time.
When Moxie is the right choice
If you're already on Moxie 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 Moxie 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
What you actually use Moxie for
Moxie is what established freelancers graduate to once they're billing real money and want a single dashboard for pipeline, proposals, contracts, time, invoices, and client portal. The community around it is one of the better ones online, and the product team ships meaningfully. It works well if you're charging $40+/hr in USD and your average engagement runs four figures. For a VA charging $8/hr juggling six small clients, you're paying $24/mo for a CRM whose pipeline view tracks deals you don't really run — VAs sell themselves once and stay; they don't manage a pipeline of cold leads.
Moving from Moxie to VA Growth Suite
Moxie exports clients, projects, time, and invoices via the Settings → Export area (CSV). The portal content (shared files, messages) doesn't export cleanly — if you've used the portal heavily, give clients a heads-up and download anything you'll want a record of. To move: import clients, then time, then download invoice PDFs. Recreate any active proposals manually since the proposal builder has no direct equivalent — VA Growth Suite's static PDF approach handles this differently and is faster for most VA-scale engagements.
Frequently asked questions
Is Moxie free?
Moxie doesn't offer a free plan. The cheapest paid tier starts at $24/mo. VA Growth Suite, by contrast, is free for up to 2 clients with no time limit and no credit card.
Can I import my data from Moxie into VA Growth Suite?
Yes. Moxie supports CSV exports per data type, which covers the migration cleanly. Most VAs move clients and the last 90 days of time entries in under an hour. Older records can stay in Moxie as a read-only archive.
What does VA Growth Suite do that Moxie doesn't?
VA Growth Suite bundles time tracking, multi-client invoicing in multiple currencies, a branded client portal, and a per-client kanban task board into one app — at a flat $19/mo for 50 clients, with no per-user pricing. Moxie typically requires you to combine it with at least one other tool to cover that workflow.
Why does VA Growth Suite charge $19/mo instead of per-user pricing like Moxie?
Per-user pricing punishes VAs the moment they add a subcontractor or VA partner. Flat pricing means a two-person VA team pays the same as a solo VA — $19/mo for up to 50 clients. It's the model that makes sense for the way VAs actually grow.
