Comparison

Tempough vs
Mavenlink / Kantata

Enterprise PSA for large services organizations.

Mavenlink (now Kantata, after merging with Replicon's Polaris in 2022) is enterprise PSA — designed for services organizations with hundreds or thousands of consultants, multi-business-unit consolidation, professional services automation across the full sales-to-delivery-to-invoicing lifecycle. Tempough is not in this market and isn't trying to be. If you're evaluating Kantata, you're probably running a 200+ person consultancy with revenue recognition, project finance, and a dedicated PSA admin role. If you're running a 5–50 person team and Kantata feels like overkill, it is.

Where Mavenlink / Kantata wins

  • Enterprise PSA depth — utilization analytics, resource allocation across business units, revenue recognition, advanced project finance.
  • Salesforce + workday integrations, enterprise SSO, audit / compliance feature set.
  • Designed for the org chart of a 200+ person consultancy.

Where Tempough wins

  • Pricing — Kantata is six-figure-annual at scale. Tempough Team Pro is $13/seat/mo (billed annually), self-serve.
  • No "implementation partner" or 6-month onboarding required.
  • Modern UX, self-serve setup, sensible defaults.
  • Right-sized for service businesses under ~50 people who don't need PSA-grade admin tooling.
