AgencyQueue vs ManyRequests
AgencyQueue vs ManyRequests (2026): Flat $49 Unlimited Seats vs $219/mo for 5 Seats
TL;DR verdict
ManyRequests has no free tier, charges $59/mo Core (+$20/seat, keeps badge, no Queue view, no Slack/webhooks/custom SMTP) or $99/mo Pro (+$30/seat = $219/mo for 5 seats; required for badge removal and Queue view), and locks API access behind a $1,000/mo Enterprise plan. Although ManyRequests added email-to-request in April 2026, it still forces clients into an existing portal account and login to view proofs, pin comments, or approve deliverables. AgencyQueue gives you a $0/mo Free tier (3 active clients, 2 seats) and a $49/mo flat Pro plan with unlimited seats, accountless magic-link proofing, POST-guarded approvals, and full white-label + API.
