Phloz vs Resource Guru

Resource Guru is resource scheduling — who's booked, who's free, across weeks. Phloz is the agency CRM + delivery + tracking layer; it knows the clients and the work, not the calendar.

What Phloz has that Resource Gurudoesn't

  • Typed tracking-infrastructure map (GA4/GTM/pixels/CAPI per client) with proactive tracking-health
  • Agency CRM — clients, contacts, message threads, client portals (Resource Guru schedules people, it doesn't hold the client relationship)
  • Task delivery with client-visible deliverables + approval
  • Note: Resource Guru does true capacity planning — availability, leave, clash detection, utilization; Phloz has departments but no booking/capacity layer

When Resource Guru is the right choice

If you're not running a digital marketing agency, Resource Guru is likely a fine fit. Resource Guruis 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 Resource Guru 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. Most agencies that switch from Resource Guru cut their monthly tooling cost by 30-60% — see /pricing for the math at your tier.
Can Phloz replace Resource Guru entirely, or is it a complement?
For digital marketing agencies running CRM + work management + tracking infrastructure on Resource Guru (or trying to), Phloz is a full replacement. For agencies using Resource Guru 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 Resource Guru take?
Most teams move in 1-3 days: a few hours of structural mapping, a CSV import (Phloz has a workspace-import flow), and a parallel-running week to verify nothing slipped. The main lift is mental — accepting the agency-shaped defaults instead of recreating your Resource Guru setup verbatim.
Does Phloz integrate with Resource Guru?
Not natively in V1. Most agencies switching off Resource Guru export their data and import to Phloz once, then leave Resource Guru behind. If you need bidirectional sync — for instance, Resource Guru 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 Resource Guru 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 Resource Guru 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.
