Clinked

Clinked is one of the older players in the client portal space — founded in 2008 and headquartered in Cambridge, UK — and that longevity shows in both its feature depth and its enterprise credibility. Over 3,000 businesses across 40 countries use it for branded client collaboration, with particular strength in regulated industries that can't afford to treat security as an afterthought.

White-label branding

The white-label story is central to Clinked's pitch. Every client workspace can carry your branding — logo, colors, custom domain — so clients never see a Clinked interface. This per-workspace branding goes deeper than what many competitors offer, where white-labeling often just means swapping a logo on a shared subdomain. For agencies and professional services firms where brand perception matters, this is a genuine differentiator.

Core features

The platform covers the core collaboration stack: file sharing with version control, task management, group discussions, and granular access permissions. Files are organized in a searchable, structured library — not just a folder dump — and clients can access everything from a dedicated mobile app (iOS and Android) with offline access for documents they need on the road.

Audit trails log all activity across workspaces, which matters for accounting firms and law practices that need to demonstrate what was shared with whom and when. Two-factor authentication and data encryption are standard across plans, not add-ons.

Integrations

Clinked connects natively to Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, covering the two productivity ecosystems most teams already live in. DocuSign and JotForm integrations handle e-signatures and form collection without sending clients to third-party sites. For everything else, Zapier unlocks 7,000+ additional connections — though complex automations will require a Zapier subscription on top of your Clinked plan.

Compliance and security

Clinked holds ISO 27001 certification, which is a meaningful signal for enterprise procurement and regulated verticals. The platform explicitly targets accounting, legal, finance, insurance, government, and healthcare — industries where compliance requirements are non-negotiable. A separate virtual data room product is available for M&A and investment use cases requiring stricter access controls.

Pricing

Plans start at $95/month for up to 100 members. There is no free tier, and Clinked doesn't publish a full pricing breakdown publicly — you'll need to contact sales for larger team or enterprise pricing. The entry price is higher than newer SaaS competitors, but reflects the platform's security certifications and maturity rather than just feature count.

Limitations

The interface hasn't kept pace with newer no-code tools. Clinked works well, but it looks like a 2015-era enterprise SaaS product — functional without being delightful. Teams expecting the polish of Notion or the flexibility of Softr will find it feels heavy. There's also no native spreadsheet or Airtable backend, so it won't work as a lightweight app builder. For straightforward file sharing and client communication in a compliant, branded environment, though, it's hard to fault the core offering.
