The questions studios ask before they move in. Something missing? Write us at contact@studiohaus.app.
What is Studiohaus?
Studiohaus is a practice-management CRM built specifically for boutique interior design studios. It runs projects, clients, mood boards, invoicing, client communication, and site visits in one place, with a branded client portal for every client.
Who is Studiohaus for?
Solo principals through multi-designer studios. It is not built for contractors or general construction — the workflows are interior-design-native: mood boards, product sourcing, room-by-room specs, client approvals.
How much does it cost?
$69 per month. One plan, every feature, one seat included. Additional users are $20 per month each, added or removed at any time, and clients never count as users. Monthly billing only, 14-day free trial with no card, no annual contracts. Full details are on the pricing page.
Do my clients need an account?
No. Each client gets one branded portal on a secure link, with all of that client's projects inside it and a switcher to move between them — they review mood boards, approve items, see invoices, and message the studio there. Client access is unlimited and free, and never counts toward your seats.
Does Studiohaus integrate with QuickBooks?
Yes. Invoices push to QuickBooks Online in one click, and payments mirror automatically once the invoice is paid. Tax is not pushed — your bookkeeper adds it in QuickBooks.
Can clients pay invoices online?
Yes. Clients pay invoices by card directly from the client portal via Stripe, once your studio has connected its own Stripe account — a short onboarding you do once.
How do mood boards work?
Design Boards is a full mood-board editor inside Studiohaus: clip products from any retailer's site with the Chrome clipper, arrange them on boards with one-click background removal, fonts and annotation marks, then present to clients for item-by-item approval. The first background removal in a browser downloads the cutout model (about 60 MB); after that it is instant.
Can I import my existing client and product data?
Yes. Clients and products import from CSV (including exports from other tools), and the Chrome clipper captures product details and images as you source.
Does Studiohaus track time and site visits?
Yes. A built-in time tracker logs billable hours, and the Route Planner logs site-visit drives, computes the distance, applies the IRS standard mileage rate, and books the result as a project expense so it shows in the project's margin. Drives in a company vehicle are logged without the expense.
Can I connect Claude or another AI assistant to my projects?
Yes. Studiohaus has a read-only MCP server. Add it as a custom connector in Claude, or with a personal token in Claude Code or Cursor, and your assistant can list projects, read overviews and pull a week's activity to draft client updates. It cannot change anything. See the MCP server page for setup.
How is Studiohaus different from Houzz Pro or DesignFiles?
Scope and focus. General platforms serve contractors, remodelers, and designers at once; Studiohaus is built only for interior design studios, so the defaults fit without configuration. See the comparison pages for a feature-by-feature breakdown.
