FAQ
Do clients ever need a password in AgencyQueue?
Never. Unlike Agency Handy, which requires clients to log into a portal account, both the priority queue portal and the deliverable proofing canvas in AgencyQueue use scoped, POST-guarded magic links.
Why is AgencyQueue Pro ($49/mo) cheaper than Agency Handy for a team?
Agency Handy's $29/mo Solopreneur tier is restricted to 1 user and lacks custom domain and Slack integration, pushing any multi-person or white-labeled studio to the $99/mo Team tier (capped at 10 users). AgencyQueue Pro includes custom domain, custom SMTP, badge removal, Slack, webhooks, API, and unlimited seats for $49/mo flat.
