Function Point is built around the agency workflow. Every plan includes creative briefs, estimates and proposals, a sales pipeline, change order tracking, Gantt charts, retainer management, resource forecasting by role and staff, and batch invoicing. PLYNTUM vs Function Point covers the head-to-head. Teams that look elsewhere usually give one of these reasons.

If estimates and proposals win your work, PLYNTUM is a step down: its quotes, proposals and sales CRM are planned, not available.

"},{"heading":"How to choose a Function Point alternative","html":"

Start from what your agency actually uses Function Point for.

  1. Estimates and proposals. If every job starts with one, Workamajig estimates, Scoro and Streamtime quote, and Productive runs a sales pipeline. PLYNTUM does not estimate yet.
  2. Where the books live. Workamajig includes full accounting with a general ledger. Ravetree syncs invoices with QuickBooks and Xero, and Streamtime also with MYOB. PLYNTUM has no accounting; its QuickBooks and Xero integrations are coming soon.
  3. Retainers. Function Point manages retainers. PLYNTUM turns a monthly fee into an expected payment and monthly deliverables into tasks, but does not track included hours or rollover.
  4. Resource forecasting. Function Point forecasts by role and staff, and Productive plans resources on every plan. In PLYNTUM the workload and capacity view starts on Scale.

Prices are the vendors’ own, checked 25 September 2026, excluding tax, on annual billing unless stated; 10-person costs are arithmetic, not quotes. Nothing is ranked, and PLYNTUM, which we make, has its own section.

What it covers

PLYNTUM is business management software for service companies. Projects, clients and retainers, people, time, invoices, expenses and receivables share one workspace. See how it works for creative agencies.

The price, worked through

PLYNTUM prices a workspace with members included: Launch is $55 a month for 5 members, Core $150 for 10 and Scale $450 for 25, or $44, $120 and $360 billed annually. Signing up starts a 7-day Launch trial with no card. See PLYNTUM pricing.

An example, using Function Point’s published prices (checked 25 September 2026). It is arithmetic, not a quote, and Function Point’s onboarding fee comes on top:

Function Point’s price includes estimates, proposals, a pipeline and resource forecasting on every plan. In PLYNTUM the first three are planned, and workload planning needs Scale.

What PLYNTUM does not do

"},{"heading":"When to stay with Function Point","html":""},{"heading":"Moving from Function Point","html":"

There is no Function Point importer. PLYNTUM’s CSV import covers clients, employees and expenses, with a preview and an undo within 24 hours; the rest is set up by hand.

  1. Export before the term ends. Clients, active jobs with budgets, time entries, rates, retainer terms and unpaid invoices. Save accepted estimates and proposals as files.
  2. Import clients, people and expenses. Paste the CSV exports into PLYNTUM’s import, check the preview and commit.
  3. Set up projects and retainers. Add each project’s value and estimated hours, each person’s salary and working hours, and each retainer’s monthly fee and deliverables.
  4. Enter unpaid invoices. Add open invoices by hand so receivables stay whole.
  5. Run both for one billing cycle. Invoice from PLYNTUM once its hours match Function Point’s for the same month.

Try one real client on Launch’s 7-day trial first; timesheet approval, profitability and recurring invoices need Core. If you want help planning the move, write to us.
