Polylane for a small studio or agency

Polylane works solo on Free and Solo, and as a shared team matrix on Studio — one set of projects and one calendar the whole team edits, priced per seat.

This page still walks the solo path first — a solo operator, a founder who still owns delivery, or a studio lead who plans the week and hands out the work elsewhere, on Free or Solo. If several people need to edit one plan together, that is what Studio is for; see "The shared workspace" below for what it costs today.

Agency work is two-dimensional and most planners are one-dimensional. You are not running a list of tasks, you are running six clients against five kinds of deliverable, and the thing you need to see is where those two collide this week.

In Polylane, every client is a project: a retainer account, a one-off build, an internal rebrand of your own site. Every deliverable type is a channel: design, copy, build, review, handover. The grid gives you one cell per client per deliverable, so a client with nothing in the build column is visible at a glance rather than discovered on Thursday.

A campaign is rarely one task. Copy, design, and build ship as a batch, and when the client pushes the launch date, the whole batch moves.

Link those tasks once and they move together after that. Reschedule the batch and every linked piece follows, so a slipped date costs you one drag instead of an afternoon of rework across three lists.

Drag work from the grid onto a day. That is where an agency week stops being a wish: five clients each wanting "something small" adds up to a real number of hours, and the calendar shows it before you promise it.

Matrix, link, calendar. That is the whole loop, and it is the same loop whether you are planning one client or nine.

Overview is the working grid — clients against deliverables. Flow shows the sequence, which is what you want when a client asks why handover cannot happen before review. The Graph view shows the linked batches as a network, which is the fastest way to spot a client whose work all depends on one blocked piece.

Free gives you 2 projects, the default channels plus 2 custom ones, calendar scheduling, and task linking. That is two clients, on one device, with no cloud sync and no calendar export. It is enough to test whether the grid matches how you think.

Client work usually breaks past that quickly. Solo removes the caps — unlimited projects and channels, so every client and every deliverable type gets its own lane — and adds the two things a working studio leans on: cloud sync across devices, and .ics export so the schedule reaches the calendar you already live in. Solo is $19/mo or $180/yr (₹499/mo incl. GST), with a 14-day trial. A founding rate may be open — the pricing page shows the current one.

Studio is one set of projects and one calendar your whole team edits, priced per seat — $12/seat/mo (₹349/seat/mo incl. GST), from 2 seats up to 20. Buy the seats the studio needs today and change the count as it grows; there is no bundle size to outgrow.

See current pricing and pick your seat count on the pricing page.

Google Calendar sync is push only, from Polylane to Google. Events you create in Google do not come back. If your studio runs on shared Google calendars, plan around one-way traffic.

There is no mobile app, so scheduling happens at a desk. There are no integrations or importers, so moving an existing client board in is manual. There are no AI features. If any of those is the deciding factor, this is the wrong tool for you this quarter, and we would rather say so than take the first month.

Put your two busiest clients in first, link one campaign, and schedule a week. You will know inside an hour whether the grid matches how you run the studio. Start free — no credit card required.

Paid plans carry a 14-day money-back guarantee and you can cancel any time. Questions about client work specifically? Email kreativish.ai@gmail.com and a person who works on Polylane answers.
