Yes! While Podio is a collaborative tool, sometimes work is confidential and should not be seen by everyone in an organization. A private workspace is invite only – users that are not a member of the workspace cannot access it or even see that it exists.

You can use workflows to automate your processes in Podio. Workflows are triggered using a "when/then" format. For example, you can set up a workflow that functions like this: when you change the status of an item to "complete", then a task is automatically assigned to the person who needs to review the item.

You get to create unlimited items in any of the paid plans. On the free plan, you have a limit of 100 items per organisation. This limit on item count is at an organisation level, so the total items created across all your apps and workspaces in the organisation should not exceed 100. You could either have a single app in the organisation with 100 items or have multiple apps that all combined do not exceed the 100 limit. Learn more about the Item Limit.

On a Premium annual plan, you have access to Podio's advanced integrations, like extension vouchers and sales dashboards from our partners. Using the annual plan you will pay for 1 year up front and receive a discount. Your plan will automatically renew at the next annual billing cycle.

Employees are identified based on their permission they pay. For all plans, you pay for each employee, but all the clients (contractors, freelancers, etc.) are free. Read more about the permissions here. Paid employee users have access to advanced collaboration in workspaces, and the ability to create and manage apps and workflows. Free client users can participate in workspaces, read, add comments, and upload files.

User management gives administrators control over members in your organization. This includes an overview of all members from the entire organization and provides a seamless way to convert a client to employee and vice versa. Find out more

Podio allows you to collaborate with external users like clients, partners, and freelancers. The light role limits what these users can do. Light users can't edit, add, or delete apps, nor can they invite people to your workspaces. Find out more
