Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Queue (usequeue.com) is a software platform positioned as an operating system for productized service agencies, combining billing, project management, and client feedback in a single product. Core modules include invoicing (credit, debit, and bank transfer) with paywalled file delivery, in which final deliverables become downloadable only once payments are received; a white-labeled client portal hosted on the agency's own domain and branding; and configurable service packaging supporting subscriptions, one-off purchases, and credit-based services, including client-managed pause/unpause and upgrade/downgrade of subscriptions.

The product also provides click-to-comment feedback on deliverables such as live websites, videos (timestamped comments with drawings), images, and PDFs, plus a project board that can be gated by client subscription status and credit usage, private internal team comments, and custom request forms assignable to specific services. Integrations and embeds cover Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Drive, Airtable, Notion, Calendly, and Agency Analytics, with Slack notifications for new tasks and comments. A mobile app allows both agency teams and their clients to view notifications, requests, and comments. The company advertises 99.99% uptime and enterprise-grade security, and publishes a system status page and a blog covering agency growth topics.

Business model

Queue is sold as a software subscription to agencies and freelancers, with a free tier advertised as free until the user's first client. Payments collected from the agency's own clients run through Stripe or PayPal, and Queue states it charges $0.00 fees on those transactions, so revenue derives from platform access rather than payment take rate.

Software platform access for agencies; client payments are processed via Stripe and PayPal with the company stating it takes no fees on agency earnings.

Traction

Queue states it powers over 1,500 businesses worldwide and describes customers ranging from freelancers to large enterprises, with named user testimonials from MG Graphics, 397digital, and epikx.fr.

Queue combines task and project management with integrated payment and subscription handling, including paywalled delivery of final files and board controls tied to a client's subscription status or credit balance.
