Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to get Scoro into production?
Scoro's own guidance is that getting fully up and running takes from a few days up to a few weeks or months, depending on team size, setup complexity and how much data and integration work is involved. Importing contacts, invoices and other records is part of onboarding. Simple self-onboarding is realistic for smaller teams; larger or multi-app deployments should plan for weeks.
What does Scoro cost and is there a minimum number of seats?
Pricing is per user per month and depends on which of the eight core apps you combine. Popular combinations start at $17/user/month, with a popular three-app Projects & Resources bundle at $29 and the full End-to-end combination at $57/user/month. Every plan has a 5-seat minimum, the platform fee already includes two core apps, and annual billing earns a 13–17% discount.
Does Scoro connect to ChatGPT, Claude or other AI tools?
Yes. Scoro ships a native MCP server, available on all packages, that connects the workspace to MCP-capable assistants including ChatGPT, Claude and Copilot Studio. Users can pull data and take actions such as creating projects, scheduling meetings and logging time from the AI chat, with access tied to each user's existing Scoro permissions. Scoro's own in-product assistant is called ELI.
Is Scoro secure and compliant enough for our data?
Scoro states that it is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR-compliant, is hosted in AWS data centers with per-client region choice, backs up data nightly, and pen tests annually against the OWASP ASVS standard. Each client gets a separate database, two-step verification and SSO are supported, and every user and admin action is recorded in an Activity Log. A vulnerability disclosure program is published.
Can we start with only some of the modules and add more later?
Yes. Scoro is deliberately modular: you pick from eight core apps and platform capabilities, with a platform fee that already covers two apps. Most customers begin with one work app and one sales or finance app, then add apps, extras or entities as they grow. Data stays interlinked automatically across whichever combination you run, and you can add or remove apps on an ongoing subscription.
