Landing Platform vs Productive.io: operations plus marketing
Productive.io is agency operations: budgets, time, resourcing and profitability. Landing runs that same core, then adds the marketing that brings the work in, the HR that keeps the team, and the helpdesk that looks after clients.
Landing suits you if
- You want the pipeline, the delivery and the margin on one record
- You want marketing and HR without another two subscriptions
- You want timesheets that fill themselves overnight
Operations sorted. The rest still scattered.
Productive gives delivery a clear picture. Marketing, people and support stay in other tools.
Leads arrive from elsewhere
Campaigns, forms and landing pages run in a separate marketing tool, and the lead lands here by integration.
Deeper features, higher tier
Revenue forecasting, scenarios, SSO and webhooks sit on the custom-priced tier.
HR by integration
Leave and records live in an HR system you connect, rather than on the same record.
Landing Platform vs Productive.io, line by line.
On budgets, time and margin, Landing stands level. Then it runs marketing, HR and support too.

Switching is our job, not yours.
We move you over one tool a month, against success criteria we agree with you up front. You don't pay until we prove each one is ready.
We map your stack
Show us how you use Productive.io and the tools around it. We agree what moves where, and what "ready" means for each tool, before you commit to anything.
We move Productive.io across
We move your clients, projects, budgets, tasks and time history across as part of the switch, and reconcile hours and margin with you before you switch off.
You sign it off
Billing starts only when we have shown it works against the criteria you set. Then we move the next tool, one a month.
But we like Productive.
It does its job. Here is what agencies and teams ask before they move.
Is Landing's budgeting as detailed as Productive's?
Estimates are built from role lines at locked rates and pushed into the project as role budgets. Budget health shows what is over now apart from what is forecast to be, and profit per client, project and person is costed at each person's real rate.
Do we need a separate marketing tool?
No.
Can Landing replace our meeting notetaker?
On Growth, meeting notes file themselves into the CRM against the right client and deal.
Worried about unbilled time?
Use the free unbilled hours calculator to see what slips through.
“We were running PR, social scheduling and the rest of our marketing across half a dozen tools that never talked. Now we plan, schedule and measure from a single screen.”
