Phloz vs Insightly

Insightly combines a generic CRM with project management. Phloz is the same combination but agency-shaped — with the tracking infrastructure map Insightly doesn't have.

What Phloz has that Insightly doesn't

  • Tracking infrastructure map (typed GA4 / GTM / Meta / Google Ads nodes per client)
  • Agency-shaped defaults — departments, retainers, per-client delivery (Insightly's CRM+PM is cross-industry generic)
  • Per-active-client pricing (Insightly is per-seat)
  • Free client portals with magic-link access

When Insightly is the right choice

If you're not running a digital marketing agency, Insightly is likely a fine fit. Insightly is a mature, capable product — it just isn't shaped for our specific use case. Phloz exists because we couldn't find a platform that treated agency ops and tracking infrastructure as first-class.

Frequently asked questions

Is Phloz really cheaper than Insightly for an agency?
It depends on your team size and client count. Phloz charges per active client, not per seat or per contact, and viewer seats for client stakeholders are free — so the comparison turns on how many clients you run versus how many people and contacts you have. Run your own numbers on /pricing; we would rather you check than take our word for it.
Can Phloz replace Insightly entirely, or is it a complement?
For digital marketing agencies running CRM + work management + tracking infrastructure on Insightly (or trying to), Phloz is a full replacement. For agencies using Insightly for non-agency-shaped work (sales pipelines for product companies, generic team PM unrelated to client work), Phloz isn't trying to replace those use cases.
How long does migrating from Insightly take?
Most teams move in 1-3 days: a few hours of structural mapping, re-creating clients and open work in Phloz (the workspace-import flow takes a Phloz JSON export, not a CSV), and a parallel-running week to verify nothing slipped. The main lift is mental — accepting the agency-shaped defaults instead of recreating your Insightly setup verbatim.
Does Phloz integrate with Insightly?
Not natively in V1. Most agencies switching off Insightly export their data and import to Phloz once, then leave Insightly behind. If you need bidirectional sync — for instance, Insightly stays as the company-wide CRM and Phloz handles agency ops only — V2 will add API-based integration. Talk to us about your specific case at contact@phloz.com.
Why doesn't Insightly have a tracking infrastructure map?
Tracking infrastructure as a typed graph (every GA4 property, GTM container, ad pixel, conversion action, audience per client, with health state and verification cadence) isn't a feature Insightly positions for. Phloz built it because every agency we talked to was tracking this in a Google Sheet. It's the moat — no other tool ships it.
