For agencies

Every client gets their own hub. You get one bill

Agency work breaks most documentation tools in the same place: the tools assume one company documenting one design system. You have six clients, each with their own brand, their own Figma files, and their own idea of confidential. Hubs are our answer - separate documentation sites under one account, with one subscription and no per-site sales call.

Is this you?

Is this you?

Two honest columns, because a page for agencies that fits every agency fits none.

Built for you if…

The multi-client shape is the whole point of hubs.

  • You serve several clients and each needs their own documentation site - own address, own look, own content
  • Client A must never see client B: hubs are separated down to the database queries, and a team member can be limited to just their client's hub
  • Each client site needs its own password - access is per hub, not per account
  • Your clients should read along for free: readers are unlimited on every plan, and only your own people need editor seats
  • Shared foundations pay off: the same Figma file can feed several hubs without syncing twice
  • You want the bill to be boring: €99 flat for unlimited hubs, €8 per editor beyond ten

Not for you if…

Read this column first. It is cheaper than a trial that goes nowhere.

  • Your clients demand SSO on their documentation portal - we do not offer SAML, and an enterprise client's security team may not budge
  • You hand off everything at project end and keep nothing running - a subscription serves ongoing systems, not deliverables
  • Your work is marketing sites and campaigns rather than design systems - there is nothing here for you to document
  • Your clients do not work in Figma; without the file there is nothing for us to stay current with
  • You want the client to take the documentation home into their own account afterwards - moving a hub between accounts is not something we support today

That last point is the one agencies ask about most, so it is in the list on purpose. If hand-off to the client's own account is essential to your model, tell us - it shapes what we build next.

What the agency shape costs

Priced against Zeroheight, the tool agencies most often come from. Monthly, excluding VAT, at list price.

2 clients, 3 people documenting

Pentrical €39 Starter - 2 hubs and 3 editors included
Zeroheight $147 3 × $49 per editor, 2 styleguides on Starter

At two clients both tools still fit their entry plans. The price gap is already real.

4 clients, 5 people documenting

Pentrical €99 Team - unlimited hubs, 10 editors included
Zeroheight on request More than 2 styleguides means Enterprise, and a sales conversation

This is the agency wall at Zeroheight: the third client pushes you off the public price list entirely.

8 clients, 12 people documenting

Pentrical €115 Team - €99 + 2 × €8
Zeroheight on request Enterprise pricing, per editor, negotiated

Unlimited hubs is not a luxury feature for an agency. It is the difference between a subscription and a procurement project.

A client whose security team requires SSO

Pentrical not possible We do not offer SAML
Zeroheight on request Zeroheight Enterprise has SSO

For that one client, Zeroheight Enterprise is the honest recommendation - even on this page.

Zeroheight prices verified against zeroheight.com/pricing on the date above. Yearly billing discounts both tools; it does not change who wins any row.

Separation that holds up when the client asks about it

Sooner or later a client asks the awkward question: who else can see this? With hubs the answer is short. Every hub has its own content, its own look, its own address and its own optional password. Your team members can be limited to the hubs they work on, so the freelancer on client A does not even see that client B exists. And the separation is not a display filter - it is enforced where the data is fetched, which is the difference between hidden and absent.

Clients read for free, and that changes the conversation

Per-editor pricing quietly punishes the best thing an agency can do: getting the client to actually use the documentation. Every developer on the client's side, every product manager, every stakeholder who checks the brand rules - with us they are readers, readers are unlimited, and unlimited is free. You pay for your own people who write. The invoice does not grow when the documentation succeeds, which is the correct direction.

One design foundation, six client flavours

Most agencies build on a shared foundation: one grid, one component logic, each client with their own tokens on top. Hubs support that shape without double work - the same Figma file can feed several hubs, synced once, counted once against your quota. The shared parts stay shared, the client-specific parts stay separate, and nobody maintains six copies of the same button documentation.

What we would fix about ourselves first

Two things, said plainly. There is no SAML, and for enterprise clients that can be a dealbreaker their security team will not negotiate on - our Zeroheight comparison tells you where to go in that case. And a hub cannot yet move out of your account into the client's own, so a full hand-off means the client starts their own account and the content is recreated. If your model ends every engagement with a hand-off, weigh that before you commit.

Questions agencies actually ask

Can a client edit their own hub?

Yes. Invite them as an editor and limit them to their hub - they see nothing else. Their editors count toward your seats like anyone's, which on Team means €8 per month per person beyond the included ten.

Can each client site have its own look and address?

Yes - theme, homepage and password are all per hub, and each hub lives on its own address. Put your agency's name on it or keep it neutral; the client sees their brand, not a shared portal.

What happens to a client's hub when the engagement ends?

Honestly, this is our weakest answer today: the hub lives in your account and cannot be transferred to theirs. You can keep hosting it as part of a retainer, or the client starts their own account and takes the content across manually. If transfer matters to your model, tell us - demand shapes the roadmap.

Do my clients need Figma access?

No. You connect the Figma files; clients read the published documentation. They never need a Figma seat, a login to your files, or any tool beyond a browser.

Is there really no limit on hubs?

On Team, none. The practical limit is your Figma file quota - 200 files on Team - which for most agencies is a lot of clients. If you get anywhere near it, we would genuinely like to meet you.

Fourteen days, no credit card. Connect two clients' Figma files, give each their own hub, and send both a link - that is the whole test. If it does not land with your clients, it did not cost you anything to find out.
