Software for a 10-person consultancy
Lyto is business software for a 10-person consultancy: one login covering a client pipeline, engagement tracking, time tracking, invoicing, a support inbox and reporting for the whole team. Ten seats on the Grow plan cost €190 per month billed annually (€19 per seat), all seven apps included — the whole back office on one bill, instead of paying ten people's worth of licences across four separate tools.

|---|---|---|
| Whole team on one login | All ten people, one account, all seven apps | Ten licences × four tools to provision and offboard |
| Per-seat maths | €19 / seat / mo on Grow, billed annually — everything | Four separate per-seat bills that stack up fast |
| Engagement to invoice | The client, the tracked hours and the invoice share one record | Re-entered at each hand-off between tools |
| Utilisation across the team | Pulse reads billable hours and margin in one place | Consolidated by hand from separate exports |
| Onboarding an eleventh person | Add a seat on Grow (up to 20) — same suite | Provision them in four systems, one at a time |

The problem a ten-person consultancy runs into
At ten people, a consultancy is past the point where spreadsheets and goodwill hold things together, but well short of needing enterprise software. That middle is where the tool stack quietly multiplies. Everyone needs the CRM, the project or engagement tracker, the time tool and the invoicing app — so every new hire means provisioning four accounts, and every leaver means remembering to close four. Four per-seat bills, times ten people, add up to a number nobody chose on purpose.
The deeper cost is coordination. A consultancy’s value is billable time against client engagements. When the client lives in one tool, the engagement in another, the hours in a third and the invoice in a fourth, tying them together — who was utilised, which engagement made money — becomes a monthly reconciliation job instead of a glance.
One login for the whole team
Lyto runs the whole practice from a single account:
- Pipeline holds the client relationships and new business.
- Workstream tracks engagements and delivery across the ten people.
- Tally captures billable hours per person, per engagement.
- Sum bills retainers and time-and-materials from those hours.
- Solve keeps client questions next to their work.
- Pulse reads utilisation and margin across all of it.
Ten seats, one login, one shared client record. The engagement you staff is the time you track is the invoice you send — no re-keying between four systems, and onboarding an eleventh person is adding a seat, not standing up four more accounts.
Being honest about the ceiling
Grow tops out at twenty seats, so this is software for a consultancy that is ten people and growing, not one heading for fifty. If you are scaling toward a large firm with dedicated resource managers and heavy custom integrations, you will eventually want more specialised tools. Up to twenty people, one connected suite is usually less to run and less to reconcile.
What ten seats cost
Ten seats on Grow are €190 per month billed annually — €19 each — for all seven apps on one bill. The 14-day trial takes a card up front and cancels in one click inside the app.
Questions people ask
What is the best software setup for a 10-person consultancy?
A ten-person consultancy needs to manage relationships, track engagements, capture billable time and invoice — usually across four tools with four sets of logins to provision. Lyto puts all of that behind one login on the Grow plan at €19 per seat per month billed annually, so the whole team works from one account and one bill, and a client's engagement, hours and invoice all reference the same record.
Does Lyto scale to a growing consultancy?
Grow covers 6–20 seats, so a ten-person consultancy has room to nearly double before hitting the ceiling. Adding a person is adding a seat — the apps, the login and the shared data stay the same, with no migration to a different product. Beyond twenty seats we ask you to email us rather than pushing you onto a fake "Enterprise" tier.
How much does Lyto cost for ten people?
Ten seats on Grow are €19 per seat per month billed annually, which is €190 per month for the whole team — or €250 per month billed monthly. That one price covers all seven apps: the CRM, engagement tracking, time, invoicing, support and reporting, on one login and one bill.
