GoCons.eu Reviews and Details

Questions & Answers

1. What makes GoCons.eu unique?

   The contract is the centre of the workspace. Most tools start from tasks or from a portal. GoCons starts from the signed contract: its tasks, milestones, documents, billing schedule and invoices all hang off it. In Automated mode its status follows its dates by itself (Scheduled, Active, Renewed, Terminated), renewals included, and every change is written to the contract history.

   • Your client sees the same contract you do. The client portal is in every plan, and client users are unlimited and free.
   • Priced per consultancy, not per user. Free, Silver (EUR 29/month) or Gold (EUR 69/month).
   • Works with AI assistants on every plan, Free included. A built-in MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT and other assistants read and update GoCons within each user's role.
   • No lock-in. On every plan, the Admin can download all of the consultancy's data and documents as one zip file, without asking support.
   • International from day one. 21 languages and 11 currencies, built and run by a Portuguese company under EU data protection law (GDPR).

2. Why should a person choose GoCons.eu over its competitors?

   GoCons gives a consultancy what it needs to run client work, without the cost and setup of an enterprise system.

   • Compared with PSA suites: those usually mean an implementation project and per-seat pricing. GoCons has neither: start on the Free plan and have your first contract and client portal running the same day.
   • Compared with general project management tools and spreadsheets: GoCons knows what a contract is. Contract types, start and end dates, renewals, the billing schedule and overdue invoices are built in, not rebuilt with custom fields.
   • Compared with client portal tools: those usually share files and messages. In GoCons your client follows the contract itself, with its milestones, tasks, documents and billing, updated as your team works.
   • Your clients cost nothing. Client users are unlimited on every plan, so inviting a client's whole team never changes your bill.
   • It fits the tools you already use. GoCons does not replace your invoicing software: it tracks the invoices you issue against each contract's billing schedule and, on Silver and Gold, exports them for QuickBooks Online or Xero. The REST API (Silver and Gold) and the MCP server (every plan) connect it to the rest of your stack.
   • Fair terms. Start free, upgrade only when you need more, and take all your data with you whenever you want.

3. How would you describe the primary audience of GoCons.eu?

   Independent consultants and small consultancies, up to about 30 people, who sell their work as contracts: retainers, fixed-fee projects, time and material, success fees and similar engagements, in any field of consulting.

   What they have in common:

   • several clients at once, with contracts, plans and invoices spread across folders, spreadsheets and email;
   • clients who want to see progress without waiting for the next status meeting;
   • renewals and billing dates that must not slip;
   • no appetite for a long software implementation.

   The second audience is their clients: the companies that hire consultants and want to follow the contracted work in real time. They use the client portal for free.

4. What's the story behind GoCons.eu?

   GoCons was built by Mourinho Solutions, the company I founded in 2025 in Bragança, Portugal, and it started as a tool for our own consulting work.

   My background is in engineering, innovation and digital transformation: a PhD in Industrial Engineering and Management and eight years lecturing at FEUP (University of Porto), six years as Director of Innovation at the software company SISTRADE, and two years as Chief Coordinator of UNICEF's Digital Transformation Ecosystem.

   When I started consulting on my own, I wanted to run each engagement from its contract: the agreed scope, the milestones, the plan, the documents and the billing in one place, which the client could follow as well as my team. Generic task managers knew nothing about contracts, and the platforms built for consulting firms were heavy and priced per seat.

   So we built GoCons for our own projects. It worked well enough that we opened it to other consultancies, with a free plan so any consultant can start without talking to sales. Today it is available in 21 languages and 11 currencies.
