The pattern

What the category promises, what small firms report

Across thirteen client-portal and practice-management sites, the same claims repeat — and the same complaints follow them in reviews.

The category saysSmall firms reportCohesio
“Your AI coworker handles it.”Portals already feel clunky and overbuilt; another autonomous layer is not the ask.CohesioAI reads and flags with a page reference. A named person accepts, corrects or waives. Nothing moves on its own.
“Clients love the portal.”Clients don't log in. Emails from the vendor's domain get ignored or land in spam.CohesioNo client account. A short checklist opens from one link, and the ask reads as coming from your firm.
“All-in-one practice management.”Paying per seat, per year, for a suite the firm uses a quarter of.CohesioNarrow on purpose: onboarding, monthly document packs, evidence review, handoff. Your ledger, tax and payroll tools stay where they are.
“Unlimited clients” — priced per user, billed annually.Per-seat pricing punishes 2–5 person teams; monthly billing often needs 4–5 seats.CohesioFlat monthly price for the whole team. Capacity is named in plain numbers on the pricing page.
“Automated reminders end the chase.”Ten nudges overwhelm clients; active-request caps bottleneck busy season.CohesioOne batched ask per month. Reminders stop the moment the pack is complete.
