kloudboard vsFunction Point
switching off Function Point because you're tired of paying $53+ per seat for time-tracking and QuickBooks features your creative team never opens? kloudboard gives you frame-accurate review, real chat, freelancer payouts, and social analytics — with a free tier and free clients.
Start free — no card required
IncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedIncludedFree forever for 5Function Point's proofing supports timestamped video and image/PDF comments (no spatial draw-on-frame); external clients can review via the client portal, but there's no published free-guest tier — pricing is per paid seat. File handling is project/proofing attachments, and scheduling is resource/work-planning rather than a synced events calendar.
start free instead of $53 a seat with no trial
Function Point has no free plan and no public free trial — pricing starts at $53/user/month on the annual Standardize plan ($58 monthly), climbing to $62 for Optimize. kloudboard is free forever for up to 5 members, 3 projects, and 10GB, with 1,000 AI credits a month included. When you're ready to scale, Pro is $20/member/month — roughly a third of Optimize's per-seat cost.
your clients review for free, not as billable seats
Function Point lets external clients into Proofing to comment and approve, but its model is built around paid per-user agency seats with no published free-guest tier. On kloudboard, guests and clients are always $0 — they review video and image proofs, comment, and approve without ever consuming a seat.
talk to your team where the work lives
Function Point is built around proofing comments and task threads — there's no built-in real-time team chat. kloudboard ships a real Messages inbox and even bridges Slack, Discord, and WhatsApp into one unified view, so feedback and conversation sit next to the boards and proofs instead of in a separate app.
pay your freelancers without leaving the platform
Function Point handles invoicing and QuickBooks Online sync, but it doesn't actually send money to your freelancers. kloudboard pays out directly via Dots — PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, ACH, Payoneer, AirTM, crypto, and international bank transfer — at roughly $1 flat plus a small percentage, so the brief, the review, and the payout all happen in one place.
see how your content actually performs
Function Point reports on agency financials, utilization, and ROI — it doesn't track how your published content does. kloudboard connects YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, and Facebook via OAuth and pulls social analytics in alongside your projects, something no agency-ops tool in this category offers.
a real AI assistant, included — not a separate tool
Function Point's proofing and project workflows have no built-in AI assistant. kloudboard includes Kloudie (powered by Claude Haiku 4.5) on every plan — 1,000 credits a month free, plus 10,000 more per seat on Pro — so drafting, summarizing, and triaging is built in rather than bolted on or paid extra.

kloudboard
Free forever for up to 5 members, 3 projects, 10GB and unlimited free guests. Pro is a flat $20/member/mo ($180/yr) — video review, freelancer payments, and a free AI assistant all included.
Function Point
Function Point starts at $53/user/month (Standardize, billed annually; $58 monthly) and tops out at $62/user/month (Optimize, with QuickBooks Online + BI reporting); there is no free plan and no public free trial, so every person you add — internal staff and most collaborators — is a paid seat.
Function Point wins for full agency finance and operations
If your core need is running the business side of an agency — estimating, invoicing, deep QuickBooks Online sync, resource forecasting, utilization, and ROI/BI reporting across billable hours — Function Point is purpose-built for that and far more mature there. kloudboard is built for the creative production loop (boards, review, chat, payouts, social) and doesn't try to be your accounting and agency-financials system of record.
