Foyer

Foyer is a white-label client portal platform built around three core workflows: secure file sharing, real-time messaging, and document signatures. It positions itself as a fully branded experience — clients interact with your colors and logo from login through signing, rather than landing on a generic vendor interface. All files and messages are secured with encryption both in transit and end-to-end.

Core Features

The file-sharing side is straightforward: drag-and-drop uploads, folder organization, in-browser preview, and end-to-end encryption. Foyer also handles secure file requests, letting you collect documents from clients without relying on email attachments. Alongside file sharing, you get a built-in real-time messenger, e-signature collection, and web forms — all within the same portal environment rather than bolted-on third-party tools. A secure email feature is also included, providing an encrypted alternative to standard email for sensitive communications.

Two features stand out as differentiators. First, HIPAA-compliant file sharing and web forms, making Foyer a viable option for healthcare-adjacent businesses that need covered-entity-grade security without building it themselves. Second, a built-in website builder with pre-made templates, which is unusual for portal software — it lets you publish a public-facing site alongside your private client portal from the same platform. For firms that don't already have a web presence, this consolidates two separate tools into one.

The platform supports unlimited external users on all plans, meaning you can invite as many clients as you need without hitting a seat-based cost ceiling. This is a meaningful distinction from competitors that charge per client user, especially for businesses with large client rosters.

Developer and Customization Capabilities

Foyer has invested in extensibility. A JavaScript API allows automation and custom integrations, and "Foyer Apps" lets admins control which apps are visible and how they're arranged per portal — useful if different client segments need different experiences. A notable 2025 addition is Power BI Embedded integration, which lets you surface dashboards directly inside the portal rather than sharing exported reports. This makes Foyer more relevant for data-heavy client relationships where clients expect to see analytics alongside their documents.

The platform also works across devices, with a responsive design that gives clients access to their portal from desktop, tablet, or mobile. Internal teams can use the portal for intra-company communication as well, not just client-facing workflows.

Pricing

Foyer offers a 14-day free trial with no lengthy setup required. Pricing starts at $19 per user per month. Specific tier details beyond the starting price aren't prominently listed — the site directs storage inquiries and custom requirements to the sales team. This suggests a sales-assisted model for larger deployments, though a self-serve path exists for smaller teams through the trial.

Limitations and Considerations

The platform covers the major collaboration primitives well, but businesses needing deep CRM integration, project management workflows, or complex approval chains may find the feature set focused rather than comprehensive. The website builder, while distinctive, may add complexity for teams that already have a web presence and just need a portal. There's no free tier — only the 14-day trial.

Who It's For

Foyer suits service businesses — particularly in healthcare, finance, or professional services — that need a secure, fully branded client-facing environment without stitching together separate tools for file sharing, messaging, and signatures. The HIPAA compliance features are a real draw for anyone in regulated industries. The JavaScript API and Power BI integration make it worth considering for teams with technical resources who want to automate workflows or surface analytics for clients.
