Comparison
AlphaI+ vs HaloPSA
Per-client professional services from $19/mo vs MSP ticketing per-agent.
HaloPSA is a powerful PSA built for Managed Service Providers (MSPs). It excels at ticketing, SLA management, and ITSM workflows. But for firms that sell retainer-based engagements (consulting, law, accounting, agency) — not help desk tickets — it brings complexity you don't need, with a 3-agent minimum starting at ~£135/mo (~$170). AlphaI+ starts at $19/mo solo and stays sized to your client count, not your headcount.

Why firms switch to AlphaI+
Where HaloPSA may be better
The bottom line
HaloPSA is the right choice if you run an MSP and need ticketing, SLA management, and asset tracking. But if you're a firm selling retainer-based professional services (consulting, law, accounting, agency), HaloPSA's 3-agent minimum locks you out of the freelancer/solo market entirely — and even at small-team scale you're paying $170-$455+/mo for ITSM features you'll never use. AlphaI+ gives PS firms exactly what they need from $19/mo Solo upward, with all 17 AI features at every paid tier and WhatsApp/mobile add-ons that go beyond HaloPSA's AI ticket triage.
