Key takeaways
- A client portal is a narrower, specific feature — not the same as branded reports.
- A guest approval link is a lighter-weight alternative to a full portal.
- Check explicitly whether a persistent portal exists before assuming "white-label" includes one.
Portal vs. one-off branded output
A portal implies a persistent place a client returns to and logs into. Many "white-label" features instead deliver a one-off branded output — a report, an approval link — without a portal the client logs into repeatedly.
The guest-link alternative
For approvals specifically, a guest link achieves a similar outcome to a portal without the overhead of a persistent login: the client opens a scoped link, reviews, and approves.
What to check before assuming
SkedCast's white-label is branded client-facing reports from the Agency plan up, plus guest approval links — not a persistent client-login portal. See what white-label includes for the exact scope before assuming a tool offers a full portal.

FAQ
- Is a white-label client portal the same as branded reports?
- No — a portal implies a persistent, client-logged-in place. Branded reports and guest approval links are lighter-weight and more common than a full portal.
- Do I need a full client portal, or is a guest link enough?
- For most approval workflows, a guest link achieves the same outcome without the overhead of managing client logins to a persistent portal.
