AND.CO Alternative for Freelancers: The Complete 2026 Migration Guide

If you're reading this, you probably already know the news: Fiverr Workspace (formerly AND.CO) shut down on March 1, 2026. No warning banner. No "thanks for 10 years." Just a cutoff date that caught thousands of freelancers off guard.

AND.CO — also known as Fiverr Workspace after the 2018 acquisition — was the go-to tool for freelancers who needed one place to send invoices, sign contracts, track time, and manage proposals. For many, it was the backbone of how they got paid. Now it's gone — and if you haven't exported your data yet, that clock is ticking too.

This guide covers three things:

1. How to export your AND.CO data before it's too late
2. What to look for in a replacement so you don't pick the wrong tool twice
3. The best AND.CO alternatives in 2026 with a full feature comparison

Export your AND.CO data right now

Before you think about alternatives, export everything. Here's the official process:

1. Log in to AND.CO / Fiverr Workspace
2. Click your profile picture (top right)
3. Go to Settings → Account and security
4. Scroll down to User info → Download your data
5. Click Export all data
6. Choose CSV format (most compatible with other tools)
7. Select email delivery — don't use the download link if you can avoid it (you have to stay on the page while it generates)

Full migration checklist:

• Export CSV of all invoices, contracts, proposals
• Download PDFs of your top 10 most important contracts
• Note your invoice numbering sequence — this is critical for tax compliance, you can't have gaps
• List all recurring invoices and their billing cycles
• Note any late fee terms you had set up
• Save your invoice templates as drafts or screenshots
• Copy any payment link URLs shared with ongoing clients
• Back up exports in two places (local drive + cloud)
• Sign up for your chosen replacement and import clients via CSV
• Set your invoice number to continue from your last AND.CO number
• Recreate recurring invoices and test one full flow (proposal → contract → invoice → payment)
• Send a quick note to active clients with your new payment link or billing email

Your invoice number sequence matters more than most people realize. Many countries require sequential invoice numbers without gaps. If you restart at INV-001 in a new tool, you create a compliance problem. Import your old sequence into whatever tool you pick next.

What made AND.CO good — and what was missing

Before choosing a replacement, it helps to be honest about what AND.CO actually did well and where it fell short. The gaps matter because they tell you what to prioritize in a replacement.

What AND.CO did well:

• Clean, simple invoicing UI
• Contract signing built in (no separate DocuSign account needed)
• Proposals that converted to contracts with one click
• Time tracking linked to invoices
• Recurring billing for retainer clients
• Free plan that actually worked for solo freelancers

Where AND.CO was limited:

• No multi-currency support at the free tier
• Limited client communication tools
• No client portal — clients couldn't log in to view project history
• Weak reporting and financial dashboards
• No task management or project workflows
• Fiverr acquisition froze development for 2+ years before the shutdown

If AND.CO was 90% perfect for you, find the closest match. If you were always frustrated by what it was missing, now's your chance to upgrade. The comparison below maps each alternative against these exact gaps.

The best AND.CO alternatives in 2026

Here's an honest comparison of the top tools freelancers are switching to. I'm the founder of Clienta, so this isn't a neutral teardown — but the comparison table is accurate and I've included where each competitor is stronger than Clienta.

1. Clienta — best overall AND.CO alternative

Best for: Freelancers who want AND.CO's simplicity with the features AND.CO never built.

Clienta is built specifically for freelancers and small agencies. Unlike AND.CO, it combines invoicing, proposals, contracts, and client management in one clean interface — without the learning curve of tools like HoneyBook or Dubsado.

What stands out:

• Invoice numbering you control — import your existing sequence, no gaps, tax-compliant
• Recurring billing — set it once, collect automatically
• Client consolidation — one profile per client with all their projects, invoices, and contracts in one place
• Proposal-to-invoice pipeline — accepted proposal → contract → invoice in 3 clicks
• Free plan that actually covers solo freelancer needs

Migration path from AND.CO:

1. Export CSV from AND.CO
2. Import clients with Clienta's CSV import
3. Set your invoice number to continue your existing sequence
4. Recreate your recurring invoices
5. You're live — same day

2. Bonsai — closest to AND.CO's workflow

Best for: Freelancers who loved AND.CO's clean UI and don't need project management.

Bonsai is the tool most commonly compared to AND.CO for good reason — it covers the same core: proposals, contracts, invoicing, time tracking. The UI is clean and approachable. If AND.CO's exact workflow was already perfect for you and you just need a like-for-like swap, Bonsai is the shortest path.

Price: Starting at $15/month Strengths over Clienta: More mature tax and accounting features, built-in expense tracking Watch out for: No free plan — even basic usage starts at $15/month. Client portal and task management are minimal. If you were on AND.CO's free tier, the jump to paid-only may sting.

3. HoneyBook — best for client experience

Best for: Creative freelancers (photographers, designers, event pros) who prioritize client intake flows.

HoneyBook goes deeper on the client experience — booking forms, scheduling, automated follow-ups. If your business is about managing the full client journey from inquiry to payment, HoneyBook does this better than AND.CO ever did.

Price: Starting at $29/month Strengths over Clienta: Stronger scheduling and intake automation, polished client-facing booking pages Watch out for: No time tracking at all — if you bill hourly, you'll need a separate tracker. The setup is heavier than AND.CO was, and the $29 entry point is steep for solo freelancers who were on AND.CO's free tier.

4. Dubsado — best for automation-heavy workflows

Best for: Freelancers with complex client workflows who want heavy automation.

Dubsado is powerful if you're willing to put in the setup time. Workflow automation, custom forms, CRM features. But the learning curve is steep.

Price: Starting at $20/month Strengths over Clienta: Deeper workflow automation, more customizable forms and client pipelines Watch out for: No time tracking. Setup can take days, not minutes — if AND.CO was already "too much" for you, Dubsado will be overwhelming. The UI is functional but not intuitive for quick invoicing.

5. FreshBooks — best for pure accounting

Best for: Freelancers whose main need is accounting, tax reports, and expense tracking.

FreshBooks is an accounting tool first, freelancer tool second. If AND.CO was how you invoiced but you want something more robust on the financial reporting side, FreshBooks fills that gap.

Price: Starting at $17/month Strengths over Clienta: Much deeper accounting and tax reporting, bank reconciliation, mileage tracking Watch out for: No contracts, no proposals, no client CRM. You're gaining accounting and losing the freelancer workflow AND.CO was known for. If you need contracts signed, you'll need a second tool.

What to look for when choosing your replacement

Don't just pick the first tool you see. Here are the five questions that matter:

1. Can you control your invoice numbering? Tax compliance in most countries requires sequential invoice numbers. Make sure your new tool lets you set a starting number (e.g., continue from INV-247 instead of restarting at INV-001).

2. Does it handle recurring billing? If you have monthly retainer clients, this is non-negotiable. Test it before you commit.

3. Can you consolidate clients? AND.CO let you keep all client history in one place. Make sure your replacement does too — not just a per-project view.

4. Is there a real free plan? AND.CO's free tier worked for many solo freelancers. Several "alternatives" list a free plan that caps at 1 active project. Check the actual limits before you assume you don't need to pay.

5. How painful is migration? The best tool is the one you'll actually use. If setup takes 3 hours, you'll resent it from day one. Prioritize tools with CSV import and a clean onboarding flow.

FAQ

Can I get my AND.CO data back after the shutdown? No. Once AND.CO shuts down, the data is gone. Export now if you haven't already.

Will my AND.CO invoice PDFs still be valid for taxes? Yes — if you have the PDFs saved locally or in cloud storage, they remain valid tax documents. The tool shutting down doesn't invalidate invoices you already sent and received.

What if I had contracts signed through AND.CO? Electronically signed contracts are valid regardless of the platform that hosted them. Save the signed PDFs — they're your legal record.

Is there a one-click AND.CO import? Most alternatives don't offer a direct AND.CO import wizard, but they accept CSV for client data. Invoice history usually requires manual recreation or CSV import depending on the tool.

Can I keep my invoice numbers? Yes — any good invoicing tool lets you set a custom starting invoice number. Set it to continue from your last AND.CO invoice number.

The bottom line

AND.CO shutting down is disruptive, but it's also an opportunity. Most freelancers who used AND.CO were putting up with its limitations because migration felt painful. Now that you have to move anyway, pick something better.

• Clienta — Best overall. Same simplicity, adds what AND.CO was missing (client portal, tasks, better CRM). Free plan available.
• Bonsai — Best if AND.CO's exact workflow was perfect for you. Closest like-for-like replacement.
• HoneyBook — Best if client experience and booking flows are your priority.
• FreshBooks — Best if you need proper accounting and tax reporting.

Whatever you pick, do the migration today. Don't let another week go by running your freelance business on screenshots and memory.
