Choose Vantage if...

  • You want powerful features without the complexity
  • You have fewer than 5 team members
  • You want to be productive in hours, not weeks
  • You don't want to pay for mandatory onboarding
  • You want encrypted credential storage
  • You want automated client health alerts
  • Performance matters to you

Choose Scoro if...

  • You need advanced resource planning now
  • You need built-in proposal generation now
  • You're already invested in their ecosystem
  • Your team is comfortable with complex software
TL;DR: Vantage vs Scoro

Scoro is powerful but complex. Users say it "needs a degree to use" and complain about slow load times and bugs. The 5-user minimum and $1,699+ onboarding fee create a steep barrier to entry.

Vantage gives you the core PSA features you need without the complexity. Most teams are productive in hours. And we have features Scoro doesn't: zero-knowledge credential vault, automated client health scoring, and Cmd+K navigation.

What Scoro does better: Resource planning and proposal generation. These are on our roadmap for Q2 2026.

Bottom line: If you need resource planning or proposals today, Scoro has it. If you want simplicity and speed, Vantage wins.
