Upbase vs. SmartSuite

Upbase is project management software built specifically for small agencies running client work. Most project management tools are built for internal teams. They treat clients as an afterthought: invite a client to a project and they see everything or nothing. Work for one client is scattered across projects, with no single place to see it all. And you don't find out if a project was profitable until it's too late. Upbase is built around the client, not the project.

SmartSuite is the connected GRC platform for the enterprise. Governance, risk, compliance, audit, IT service and business operations run on one AI-native platform, with frameworks, controls, policies and evidence in one place. Teams automate workflows without code, connect the systems they already use, and let AI agents handle the routine work. Founded by the team that built Archer, SmartSuite is used by more than 2,000 organizations in more than 100 countries and is available in 16 languages. Teams in eight countries across every US time zone, headquartered in Irvine, California.
