Timeliner vs Agency Handy
Agency Handy excels at client portals and subscription billing for service agencies. Timeliner is purpose-built for video teams - combining video review, project management, and financial tracking in one platform.
Why Video Teams Choose Timeliner Over Agency Handy
Agency Handy is great for generic agency billing and client portals, but it has zero video review capabilities - no timestamped comments, no annotations, no version comparison. Video agencies need a platform built for their workflow.
What Timeliner Adds
Timeliner provides frame-accurate video review, side-by-side version comparison, drawing annotations, custom task workflows, team KPI dashboards, and per-project financial tracking - all specifically designed for video production teams.

When Agency Handy Might Be Better
If your agency primarily sells non-video services and needs subscription billing, proposals, and a generic client portal, Agency Handy covers those workflows better. For video-focused agencies, Timeliner is the purpose-built choice.
