All your questions, answered
What's the main difference between Magnetic and Scoro?
Magnetic is a purpose-built PSA with CRM, project management, resource planning, time tracking, invoicing, and reporting included from the Essentials plan. Scoro takes a similar all-in-one approach, but gates core PSA functionality — resource planning, sales pipeline, and revenue recognition — behind its higher-priced Performance plan. For firms that want full financial and resourcing depth without moving up multiple price tiers, Magnetic includes more of that functionality earlier in its plan structure.
Does Scoro have a built-in CRM?
Yes, Scoro's sales and CRM module is native, with contact management from the Core plan and pipeline tracking, deal alerts, and revenue forecasting from the Performance plan ($49.90/user/month). Magnetic includes native CRM with deal pipelines, weighted forecasting, and deal-level margin insight from the Essentials plan (£9/user/month), so pipeline data is connected to project and financial data from day one, without needing to reach a top-tier plan.
How do the financial features compare?
Both tools offer project budgets and profitability reporting. Scoro adds revenue recognition, cost/profit forecasting, and supplier management from its Performance plan, with WIP reporting reserved for its custom-priced Enterprise plan. Magnetic includes WIP management with three revenue recognition methods, purchase order management with supplier invoicing, and baseline budget tracking with variance reporting from the Essentials and Pro plans. For firms that need accounting-grade financial controls without an enterprise-tier contract, Magnetic covers more ground earlier.
How do the pricing models compare?
Magnetic's Essentials plan starts at £9/user/month (min. 5 users) and includes CRM, project management, resource planning, and time tracking. The Pro plan at £17/user/month adds invoicing, expense claims, and accounting integrations. Scoro's Core plan starts at $19.90/user/month (min. 5 users, billed monthly), but resource planning, sales pipeline, and revenue recognition require the Performance plan at $49.90/user/month. Both offer 14-day free trials with no credit card required; Scoro has no permanently free plan, while Magnetic offers a free single-user Solo plan.
Which tool is better for resource planning?
Magnetic includes resource planning from the Essentials plan, with AI-assisted resource suggestions based on skills, role, capacity, and availability, plus full leave management with balances, approvals, and public holidays that deduct from capacity. Scoro's dedicated resource planner is only available on the Performance plan and above ($49.90/user/month); its Core and Growth plans focus on task and budget management without a resourcing view. For firms that need resource visibility without upgrading to Scoro's top tier, Magnetic includes it from the start.
Which tool offers better customer support?
Both tools provide onboarding support, a knowledge base, and live chat. Scoro offers guided onboarding with account management on its higher-tier plans. Magnetic provides personalised onboarding on all paid plans, monthly live training sessions for new and existing team members, and a hands-on customer success approach rather than tiering support access by plan.
