17hats is a deep all-in-one for the back office, but its client portal is built for signing and paying, not delivering work: clients can't upload files, there's no in-portal messaging, and it doesn't show deliverable status. Delivvo is a deliverables-first portal at a flat $15/mo, versus 17hats' single $60/mo plan. Both are payment-neutral, so this is about the portal and the price, not fees.

Yes. Delivvo is a flat $15/mo. 17hats is a single $60/mo plan, with some features as paid add-ons on top.
Neither does. Both connect your own gateway and take 0%. The difference is the portal and gateway choice: Delivvo also supports regional gateways like Tap, Telr, and PayTabs.
No. 17hats' portal doesn't support client uploads, file delivery, or in-portal messaging. That's the main reason people look for an alternative, and what Delivvo's portal is built around.
If you want a deep back office with CRM, scheduling, automations, and built-in bookkeeping, 17hats does more than Delivvo's focused portal.
