Start today, not next week.
Parallax is a solid tool for capacity planning. But you need a sales call to try it, a 15-user minimum to buy it, and additional tools for ticketing and CRM. Vantage is the complete platform you can start using in 5 minutes.
What's the real difference?
Parallax is capacity-focused. Vantage is everything-connected.
Parallax does capacity planning well. If that's all you need, it's a fine choice. But most agencies need more: ticketing for client requests, CRM for relationship tracking, invoicing for getting paid, and a credential vault for storing client passwords.
With Parallax, you're buying capacity planning and then bolting on other tools. With Vantage, it's one platform where everything talks to everything else.
Time logged on a ticket automatically updates project budget. Client health scores factor in support volume. Retainer hours draw down as work gets done. No integrations to maintain. No data silos.
Sales wall vs. self-serve
Parallax requires a sales call before you can try the product. Vantage lets you sign up and start working in 5 minutes. We're confident enough in the product to let you evaluate it yourself.
15 users vs. 1 user
Parallax starts at $9,000/year for 15 users. Great if you have 15+ people. Not great if you're a team of 6. Vantage scales from 1 user up, so you pay for what you use.

The Real Differences
Capacity planning is table stakes. What happens next?
You know Sarah's overbooked. Great. Now what? With Parallax, you see the problem. With Vantage, you see the problem and you can reassign tickets, adjust project scope, notify the client,
Visibility is step one. Action is step two. Most tools stop at step one.
No sales theater. No demo song and dance.
Parallax makes you book a call before you can see the product. We get it. Higher ACV, qualified leads, controlled narrative. But it's 2026, not 2010.
If the product is good, let people try it. We're confident enough in Vantage that we don't need to pre-sell you. Sign up, poke around, decide for yourself.
Scale from 3 people, not 15.
Parallax's minimum is 15 users at $9,000/year. If you're a 6-person shop, you're paying for 9 phantom users. Or you're priced out entirely.
Vantage starts at 1 user. Pay for what you use, scale when you grow. Your first 5 users are $49/each, then volume discounts kick in automatically.
