Clinked vs Xpand Portal

Clinked provides branded client portals for organizations sharing files, coordinating tasks, handling approvals, exchanging messages, and posting project updates. Teams can use real-time group and one-to-one chat, discussions, file approvals, and task management. Document tools include version control, file requests, guest sharing, and watermarking. Businesses can customize workspaces with their branding, a custom domain, and a custom email domain. The service offers web, API, iOS, and Android access; its mobile app is included in every plan. Listed integrations include Adobe Acrobat Sign, DocuSign, Google Workspace, Microsoft OneDrive, Jotform, Typeform, Power BI, and Zoom. Clinked says Zapier can connect workflows to other apps. It also says customer information is encrypted in transit and at rest, and that it is ISO 27001 certified. The Start Up plan is $11 a month, billed monthly, with 200 GB storage and 1–25 users shown. The service has a free trial but no free plan. Enterprise options list Active Directory, SSO, and data-center location choices; the VDR plan lists tools including redaction and data room archiving.

Xpand Portal gives customers, vendors, and partners self-service access to ERP information and workflows. Its Business Central Connector synchronizes standard or custom tables and fields, supports multiple companies, and updates orders, invoices, and documents in real time. An API connects ERP, CRM, SharePoint, and other data sources. The platform includes dashboards, reports, alerts, configurable rules, calculations, actions, deployment tools, reusable page templates, and stand-alone data storage. Ready-to-use modules cover receivables, customer orders, and customer care, with additional licenses required for those modules. Xpand Portal is currently available as an on-premise solution, typically hosted on the customer's server, and requires some setup after installation. A 30-day free trial allows users to try two full modules. Paid plans start at €399 a month with a minimum one-year commitment; synchronization also requires a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central full-user license. The product page says a basic implementation can go live in 5–7 days.
