Key Takeaways

Generated from the text of customer reviews

17hats is an all-in-one CRM and business management platform used by solopreneurs, freelancers, and small service-based businesses. Its project pages keep client documents, communications, events, notes, and tasks together. While the client portal’s user interface could improve, the platform delivers strong client management capabilities including relative granular permissions. Recent updates include Zapier integration that supports two-way contact importing, updating, and syncing.

Our Verdict

17hats suits small service businesses that need CRM, scheduling, documents, invoicing, and client workflows together. Its project organization and workflow automation cover many routine client-management tasks without requiring several separate systems. Pricing is justified for the features the platform offers. We recommend 17hats to photographers and other solo service providers managing recurring client work.

17hats Features

Centralized Business Organization

17hats brings contacts, projects, tasks, events, notes, tags, pipelines, and dashboard activity into connected records. Users can also manage multiple users and separate business brands. Keeping related client and project information together helps businesses monitor ongoing work, locate details faster, and maintain clearer oversight of daily responsibilities across operations.

Document Management

This feature lets businesses create and manage quotes, contracts, invoices, questionnaires, and reusable document templates. Its 3-in-1 documents combine quoting, contracting, and invoicing, while If/Then logic adapts questionnaire questions. These tools help reduce repeated document preparation and keep client paperwork, responses, confirmations, and follow-up reminders connected to each project.

Lead Tracking And Management

The platform captures prospect details through lead forms and organizes leads as they move through different stages. Workflow triggers and auto-responders can start follow-up actions after submissions, while lead source reporting tracks where inquiries originate. This helps businesses respond consistently, monitor prospect activity, and identify which marketing sources generate leads.

Business Reporting

17hats features a reporting feature that automatically generates reports covering client sales, sales tax, profit and loss, product sales, and lead sources. These reports organize business activity into measurable financial and sales information. Reviewing this data helps owners compare revenue sources, track expenses, understand client spending, and monitor which products or services contribute to results.

Online Scheduling

It lets clients view available times and book appointments through an online scheduling page or embedded calendar. Businesses can collect booking questions, cross-check connected calendars, accept payments, and send reminders. This reduces back-and-forth scheduling conversations while helping clients book services, consultations, events, or meetings at suitable times.

“Reliable support for years”

Pros

After nearly seven years with this software it still feels easy to work in. The biggest plus for me is the team behind it: they're consistently helpful and always go the extra mile whenever I have a question or need support.

Cons

There really isn't much to complain about. The bookkeeping feature can be a little tricky to figure out at times but it connects smoothly with other accounting software which helps a lot.

“simple setup”

Pros

Getting started felt very easy and the customer service has been great. The platform was simple to learn and whenever something came up I could reach real people through online support and usually got a response within minutes.

Cons

The ability to text a client after they requested information used to be missing although that feature has since been added.

“all-in-one fit for freelancers”

Pros

Running a freelance business with just a small number of clients and this software has been a really good fit. It was simple to get started with easy to use and it kept everything together in one place (billing, invoices, client messages, workflows and more). Having all of that centralized helped me stay organized and keep up with my tasks.

Cons

As my business became more complex and I started offering products alongside one on one services I eventually outgrew this software. Some of the more basic features I needed in bookkeeping and contracts just weren't available.
