Kalo Reviews in April 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

"Great product"

What do you like best? I love how easy the platform's interface is to use for anyone. As an entry-level employee at my company, this was a great first system to use for someone entering the workplace and learning about invoicing. What do you dislike? There's nothing that I don't like about Kalo. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? It's been great for organising freelancer invoices. It's also easy to catch and fix mistakes made by users.

"Really easy to pay freelancers."

What do you like best? Easy to look through and see who I've paid for documentation, easy to communicate. What do you dislike? Sometimes I won't be able to look at invoices -- a slight glitch. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Paying freelancers easily!

"Kalo makes freelancer management hassle-free"

What do you like best? Kalo makes it so much easier to store our freelancer information and even helps with the payouts so it's one less thing we have to do. We can log each freelancer's specialty, assign tasks, etc all within the program. For onboarding, we can have the freelancers review terms & conditions, sign contracts, and more so we have all the necessary paperwork on our end. Kalo also helps with end-of-year tax documents. It handled the communication with freelancers for the ...

"Very efficient and a useful tool to see all our freelancers in one place"

What do you like best? The availability feature, the individual profile element images that everyone has, the message board function. I also like the rating element and seeing how has completed our onboarding process. The interface is lovely and a pleasure to look at every day. What do you dislike? That you're aren't notified if a message has been sent to you. A colleague has to tell you that they've sent you a message which is annoying (unless I'm doing it wrong). The review feature is ...

"I've used Kalo as a contractor and employee. It's user-friendly and intuitive. Great platform!"

What do you like best? I think it's searching abilities are fantastic. I can search by project/contractor, etc. if I'm on the employee end. As a contractor, it's easy to navigate to find what I need, or who to ask if I'm lost. What do you dislike? As a contractor, I had trouble finding projects for if I needed to take action on something/status of things. I think I figured it out, but maybe prompts could be more obvious. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you ...

"Kalo has the right pieces in place, but it could use more"

What do you like best? I like that I can see my contractor and freelance pool in an overview. It does a good job of tracking attributes, but this could be better. It helps onboard (administratively) and view availability dates, but this could be better. What do you dislike? It's not the best solution for signing documents in onboarding—there are premium integrations that both require a service that is only offered at Enterprise level. I would look for systems that are a little more open for ...

"Great Concept But Needs Some Work"

What do you like best? Kalo's concept makes invoicing easy. I love that freelancers are able to sign contracts, submit tax information, receipts, and invoices into one system. What do you dislike? They system can be buggy. Most of my freelancers are confused by it. Often they tell me they are unable to reach anyone at Kalo with questions/concerns. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? It's a great alternative to paper invoicing.

"Basic Scam"

What do you like best? We can find our freelancers names in our database What do you dislike? Our freelancers can be stolen by any company that pays to search, reporting is terrible and we need multiple calls to setup one report, UI is not good Recommendations to others considering the product: Don't be swindled by their salesteam; make sure you don't need reporting or any more data than simply locating freelancers What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you ...

"Editor in chief"

What do you like best? I like the seeming simplicity of the workflow once it all gets setup, however I never got to test in practice, because ultimately we never finished setting it up. Casey was also great about showing us how to navigate Kalo and was always available for questions What do you dislike? We were told that we would be able to pay our freelancers through Kalo. After signing up and being told that it was not only possible, but ideal, to pay invoices through Kalo, we were told ...

"Kalo is a pretty good way to track freelancers"

What do you like best? I like the ability to quickly and easily assign projects, get updates on when they're complete and send/receive attachments all in an organized way What do you dislike? I would love more project management features and automation. For example, sending the same type of task (rate, title, etc.) to the same asignee several times per week could be more automatic and less manual with better templates. Recommendations to others considering the product: It's a learning curve ...
