VERDICT

Should I use Client Portal?

Client Portal is designed for freelancers and agencies and gives your clients a branded space to view their project status and deliverables. - client-portal.io

Depends. Reasonable pick for freelancers wanting a simple branded portal — but only after confirming the 2026 CVEs are patched. Skip it if you handle sensitive client files or need a documented security posture.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 40+ public sources; most review snippets were truncated and no pricing figures were verifiable.
