“Before LaunchBay, we would spend over four hours per client tracking down onboarding information. Now, that entire process takes just 15 minutes—freeing up our team to focus on delivering value instead of chasing clients.”
Rocketlane customers are switching to LaunchBay — here’s why
Client portals confuse clients and create extra work
Teams report broken portal elements, limited client permissions, and no easy way to re-send invites. Clients often face too many redundant views—creating unnecessary friction and increasing support workload.
Automations can’t adapt to existing workflows
Rocketlane automations must be configured globally, not per project or template. Users also note missing logs and poor visibility, making it hard to trust whether workflows ran or emails were sent.
Setup and management drains time and resources
Rocketlane’s highly configurable backend often means 2+ months of setup, and ongoing maintenance can require dedicated, hands-on support. Smaller teams can’t justify the time or staffing demands.
Tasks slow clients down instead of moving onboarding forward
Rocketlane tasks rely on simple text fields and attachments, lacking integrated actions like signing contracts, proofing designs, or embedding tools. This forces clients into external tools and creates missed to-dos and onboarding delays.

Build action-ready onboarding checklists in minutes

4 areas where LaunchBay dominates Rocketlane
Show value sooner and prevent churn before it starts
Eliminate confusion by giving clients a single, branded portal to complete tasks, view progress, and communicate with your team. Loginless portals automate the collection of forms, files, and contracts—helping you launch customers dramatically faster with less back-and-forth.
With an overwhelming number of views, boards, and custom elements, Rocketlane’s portals make it hard for clients to understand what’s done, what’s next, and where their project stands—creating friction, slowing launches, and increasing delays.
Build a scalable onboarding process in minutes, not months
Whether you’re switching from spreadsheets or another tool, LaunchBay makes setup painless. Use AI-powered builders to create automated onboarding workflows in minutes, then test them with simulated clients so you can launch in days—not months. Fast setup means faster time-to-value with zero technical lift.
Setup often requires two months or more to get fully configured and typically requires hands-on support from the Rocketlane team. This slows implementation, delays customer launches, and makes rapid iteration difficult.
Show clients exactly where they stand—no guesswork, no follow-up emails
In LaunchBay, every project includes a real-time progress tracker clients can access directly from their portal. As tasks are completed, the tracker updates automatically—eliminating guesswork and manual status checks. Both your team and your clients always know exactly what’s done, what’s next, and what’s blocking progress.
To support large enterprise teams, Rocketlane’s views and dashboards are highly configurable—but that complexity means even setting up basic client-facing progress tracking requires significant backend setup. This makes it harder for clients and teams to get the clear visibility they need.
Grow your customer base without adding operational overhead
LaunchBay sets up in hours—not months—and workflow updates or customization take just minutes. LaunchBay eliminates manual tasks, follow-ups, and busywork, and scales effortlessly as your customer base grows, so your team can support more clients without adding headcount.
Rocketlane’s templates work well—until a client needs something different. Adjustments can be slow and difficult, creating frustration, delaying delivery, and increasing churn risk. This complexity becomes especially painful for teams managing high-touch onboarding workflows.
"LaunchBay has helped us automate our onboarding process, simplify our deal-closing process, and keep our client projects more organized. My team also loves LaunchBay, as it allows them to do more in fewer hours by eliminating client follow-ups and tedious project management tasks."
