Comparison

Tempough vs
Productive.io

A full agency PSA with sales pipeline + budgeting + resourcing.

Productive is an agency-focused PSA (Professional Services Automation) platform — meaning it's closer to "Mavenlink for SMBs" than "Harvest with extras." If you run a 30-person agency that needs CRM, sales pipeline, deal management, AND time + projects + invoicing in one system, Productive is the right scale. Tempough is the right scale if you want the project + time + billing + forecast layer without a CRM-flavored sales pipeline on top.

Where Productive.io wins

  • ●Sales pipeline / CRM is built in — opportunities flow into projects which flow into time tracking which flow into invoices.
  • ●Deeper "agency operations" features: utilization targets, sales-to-delivery handoff, scenario planning.
  • ●Better fit for established agencies that already have CRM workflows and need to consolidate.

Where Tempough wins

  • Pricing — Productive starts at ~$11/seat for the basic plan (no time tracking) and runs $40+/seat for the full PSA suite. Tempough Team Pro is $13/seat/mo (billed annually) with the full feature set.
  • Faster onboarding — you don't need to set up a sales pipeline, opportunity stages, or CRM-style fields just to log hours.
  • UX is polished for "I want to log time and bill" rather than "I want to manage an agency end to end."
  • Approvals + time off + cost rates + margin reporting are all standard at Team. Productive bundles these into higher tiers.
