Handl vs Fiverr
Workspace (AND CO): Which Is Right for You?
AND CO started life as a beloved freelancer tool — clean, simple, well-designed. Then Fiverr acquired it and rebranded it as Fiverr Workspace. The core promise is still the same: handle your contracts, invoices, and time tracking in one place. Handl takes a different angle. It's built for agencies and freelancers running project-based work — milestone billing, AI-driven payment reminders, change order management, and tight PM tool integrations. Same problem space, very different philosophy. This page breaks it down honestly so you can figure out which one actually fits your workflow.

When to choose each tool
Choose the right tool based on how your agency bills and what problems you're solving.
When to choose
Handl
If you're running project-based work — fixed-scope projects with milestones, retainers with deliverables, the kind of work where scope creep is a real thing — Handl is built for that. The automated payment reminders aren't just "send an email on day 14" — they're adaptive and they take the awkwardness out of chasing. The PM integrations mean your billing isn't living in a separate universe from where the actual work is tracked. And the change order workflow means that when a client asks for "just one more thing", you've got a process for it that doesn't involve an awkward conversation over email. If you've got more than a couple of active projects at a time and you've ever found yourself manually tracking what's been invoiced against what's been delivered, that's the signal.
When to choose
AND CO / Fiverr Workspace
Fiverr Workspace makes a lot of sense if you're a solo freelancer doing relatively straightforward project work — fixed price or hourly, not too many active clients at once, clients who generally pay without too much chasing. The free plan removes any pricing barrier to getting your admin sorted, and the built-in time tracking and expense tracking cover the basics without needing to bolt anything on. It's also a natural fit if you source clients through Fiverr itself — the ecosystem integration makes sense in that context.
