Freedcamp Reviews: 4.5/5 — Highly Rated

I love being able to organize work by groups, which I am using to sort work I perform for each of my clients. Within each group, I can create multiple projects for each client, store documents (including multiple versions of documents), e-mail in documents and important information, track time and prepare invoices - all while having a daily calendar of work that needs to be accomplished on specific deadlines. The File Edit feature is amazing. I work in the legal services industry and tracking versions of documents is incredibly important. File Edit makes is remarkably simple. I have managed to replace my practice management software (which costs $720 a year) and give up my Box subscription (another $120 a year) for a tool that works just as well for less than a tenth of the price. I think the programmers have not only great programming skills but have taken the time to understand how people across different types of work environments work - and accounted for what they need. I'm just very impressed by how I have managed to improve my work process over the last three months by using Freedcamp. A really remarkable tool.

I wish there were more reporting options available. For instance, you can't really get a report that shows you a total of hours spent working on all projects by group with a subtotal listed for each project within the group. But that is not really a problem for me. It would just be a nice convenience. Other than this, the tool is absolutely great.

I am a solo practitioner and have found that I have sometimes needed to purchase several annual subscription services to meet my business needs. Annual subscription fees are becoming burdensome. Somehow, Freedcamp has managed to incorporate the most important tools I need into a single tool and made it available at a very reasonable price. But even more important, Freedcamp is a better product than Asana, Podio, Trello and Wrike - all of which I tried and found to be lacking in features. It's really incredible how well they have managed to bring together a complete practice tool so well.

Has been my go to tool for many years. I started using Freedcamp about 5 years ago. It's easy to use and has different levels of complexity that suit different users within a team.

Originally it was slow to get a mobile version but it now has one and it works exactly like the desktop version.

Freedcamp has shown the companies I work with how to "View" a project. A technical project involves not just technical problem-solving and implementation but also Finance, Legal, Admin, Logistics and Sales. All these different departments can now few and work on a single project.

I've been a user of Freedcamp for about 3.5 years. After using the free version for the first year, I still continue to use it daily after switching to the Business version. Some of the features I like: - To be able to activate only the ones we need from the tools such as Calendar, Discussions, Wiki, Milestone, Timer and Issue Tracker for each project. - Google Drive, Onedrive and Dropbox integration - Creating tasks directly by e-mail, easily sending the files in the e-mail to the files section of the project - Easily track all tasks with Google Calendar integration. - To be able to effectively manage important password and panel information thanks to the Passwords group application. - To enable customers to follow the project process with the "Public Projects" feature

Even though developers are constantly improving the mobile app and adding new features, it is still far behind the web version. I use the web version as PWA on my mobile phone and tablet. There is no integration between the CRM, Invoices, and Tasks modules. Each is successful as a separate tool, but it would be better to integrate them.

Finding the correct project management application is essential, as project management applications are indispensable parts of our daily routine. After trying many popular project management systems, I chose Freedcamp as my last stop in my search, thanks to its feature-generous free version. Due to its economical price and feature-rich add-ons, it was not a difficult decision to switch to the paid version. We are a small team in our agency, managing all projects with an easy and clean interface has increased our productivity by 100%.

I love the fact that you can mention people in the comment and assign people certain tasks that you layout. You can set up many projects, do tasks, and subtask to get the project done. I love how it notifies you by email the different updates that are done to the task itself.

What I do not like is how much it costs when you upgrade and make a project and if you add someone to it, you have to pay for that person also when they are just watching.

I work in Real Estate and it really helps with tasks for Maintenance to get done. They can also upload photos to show that the task has been completed.

Freedcamp enables our team to effectively and efficiently manage complex, multifaceted engineering projects, including sounding rockets. Being able to assign specific individuals and groups, deadlines, and priorities to individual tasks provides a high degree of authority and accountability over each task that contributes to their timely completion.

In my experience, the only feature of Freedcamp that can be difficult to understand is the calendar board. This is the case when there are a significant amount of tasks active at the same time.

Freedcamp is solving the problem of tasks not being done due to a lack of ownership and accountability. Since tasks can be assigned to specific people, with set due dates, tasks are much more likely to be performed at a higher quality, and more likely to adhere to deadlines.

So easy to use, and I love the visual aspects of it! Love the fact that you can use the KANBAN mode and easily track tasks!

Wish it would integrate better with Outlook

I have always had a challenge being organized and staying focused on projects. With Freedcamp, I am so much more focused, organized and productive!

It is the best way to keep the entire team organized and carry out projects and tasks in one place; it allows us to optimize the processes of each task, improving the work and keeping track of the progress of each job, from its beginning to its end, It provides us with adequate functions to create a kanban board, Gantt chart, among others.

In general, it is an excellent tool to improve collaboration with our entire work team, it helps us increase and maximize productivity no matter where we are, and it is an entirely free solution.

-In general, keeping the whole team together has been complicated; it helps us to manage and group all our objectives on established dates. -save events in our calendar -carry out conversations on various topics with each person from the platform -Be aware of how each task flows and see the time spent on each job.

I like the visualization of each project using the Kanban layout as it gives me a very quick indication of how my task list is looking for each project. I also really appreciate the alarm badge which shows how many tasks have been updated and are awaiting my contribution. This helps me avoid keeping clients waiting for a response during busy periods as I can home in on urgent tasks. There are many other features to like such as the notes, discussions, and widgets however my use case I don't have to dip into those very much. I also like that my clients find the system very easy to use. I have totally replaced by ticketing system with Freedcamp as my client appreciates the ease of use. Finally, with a product that has so many features it is important to have good support online to guide me through any areas I am unfamiliar with and Freedcamp is also strong in this area. I researched many project planners before settling on Freedcamp and I quickly came to realize that I made the right choice. I even upgraded my package, but the cost to entry is extremely low so I highly recommend anyone tries Freedcamp first.

There genuinely is not anything I dislike. I don't even have any feature requests for the developer. Everything works just like I need it to and if I am unsure of anything the support is first class.

Freedcamp lets me manage many web projects in one clear and efficient workspace. I genuinely do not know how I would manage with it. I use it for two things, project management and support tickets. For project management, I can clearly lay out tasks for many projects, and even group them into different areas (for example clients or web properties) and visualize progress. For client support tickets I can have simple efficient conversations with clients in the same layout as project management tasks so there is no learning required for different use cases. This is a real time saver for me.

As a web project manager I was already used to Basecamp. This made for a very short learning curve with Freedcamp when I set it up for my agency.

I haven't found any limitations or issues and I've used it for years! My main issue with other free solutions is the limited # of projects - not an issue here!

Freedcamp is great for collaborating with clients, who can start threads and tasks for us to follow up on. Serves internal and external PM needs.

Freedcamp is easy to use and a game changer for my company. It has amazing use cases and is very logical to use. My team was hesitant when we first started using it but now they would not give it up for anything. On the rare occasion we need help from support, they are professional and efficient.

Nothing. It is wonderful to use. No issues.

Effective management of all projects and tasks for the team. We have found fewer miscommunications because of using Freedcamp.

Free for small teams, and slow and adjustable price grow for bigger teams.

Lack of columns customization in Kanban columns and Milestones in Project Group. User managment is still confusing, specially if you have many users.

I manage about 20 research projects with my group. I can keep tracking many projects at time and be aware of deadlines using google calendar integration.

The fact that there's a free tier is great. Also, the fact that there are different levels of subscription is awesome. I use Freedcamp to manage my various TODO lists and keep track of my deadlines. I make extensive use of the email-in feature, which lets me add tasks directly into projects/lists, and Freedcamp is now my archive for everything relevant that happened in my various projects. I really like the Gantt feature of Freedcamp, which I use on some projects. For the others, I use lists, which lets me sort out all of my tasks and organizing them. The way the search feature is implemented is also awesome. It's extremely easy to find something fast.

I think the way billing works for collaborators in Freedcamp is a bit confusing. If I have a friend with his own subscription, and also have one, we can't just collaborate. One of us needs to hop on to the other's billing if we want to avoid paying extra.

Whenever I have something I know I may need to remember for work, I put it in Freedcamp. Whenever I have meetings or deadlines, I put them in Freedcamp. Whenever I have a thought about something important, I put it in Freedcamp. All of this has allowed me to reduce the stress I have because I'm scared of forgetting something important and let me focus on more important things.

I like the different type of listing of the task, with the separation of user and task status we can also add the sub task to the main task to divide a full task in sub task.

Reporting of the task is not good as compared to the other project management or task management tool, freedcamp can do it better.

I work with other task management or project management tools but we need to configure too much before start but in case of freedcamp we need to do minimal configuration. No need to train the users in case of other tool we need to train our users.

The best feature in Freedcamp is the dashboard. It is the best dashboard of any project manager I have used, such as GitHub and Kanban Board. It clearly shows current important tasks, general work, and overall projects. It has a very clear hierarchy of details needed to tackle a large project successfully.

The only drawback to Freedcamp is that the premium features cost money. These features are quite useful so it is sad to see they are not available to free users. This includes, most importantly, issue tracking, CRM, and insights. However, the premium features are not too expensive and can easily be funded by a large team.

I am solving the problem of managing medium-sized teams (3-12 members) in tackling large-scale projects (5-16 week software projects). The benefits include quickly modifying project scope, delegating tasks, and viewing essential duties. Timeline management in Freedcamp is also top-notch.

I like that you can collaborate with someone on tasks, and you can each see progress. I have been using the program as a task manager as I work from home. My supervisor is able to see my task goals, and we are able to discuss them through comments.

In creating a task, I wish the calendar function automatically popped up to add a goal date. Furthermore, I would like to connect freedcamp to my other calendars (google, outlook). I am also not sure if there is an app for the program.

Freedcamp is a way to collaborate while working from home. It also a program used to track progress on projects. It is beneficial because it can streamline the process of task work and communication. Instead of constantly emailing someone about task updates, they can find them in the program with the comments feature.

Freedcamp is simply a pleasure to use, bringing projects to life. Projects can be managed in one place, without having to jump between multiple disconnected programs. From Todo/Task lists, Milestones, Time Tracking, Invoicing, the ability to Invite other users into a project and so much more. It's constantly evolving too, with features regularly being added and updated. Customer support is super responsive, which is a standout feature in its own right.

It's difficult to find a negative to be honest but I guess it would be that that it's updated quite regularly (via regular scheduled slots), which creates an access issue for me personally sometimes. The developers do choose quiet times to do this however since I'm in the UK (and they aren't), due to the time difference I often find myself unable to use it on a Saturday morning whilst updates are being pushed. The slight inconvenience is still a small price to pay for what has become one of my favourite programs.

It streamlines project management from start to finish.

- good range of functionality without being overly complex - free version has more group functionality than other similar apps - they offer sponsored plans for non-profit organisations

- limited options for progress status (Not Started, In Progress, Completed) - would be good if can give a % - need to manually change your notification settings, as the default settings will bombard you with notification emails

We are a small non-profit organisation with most of the team working collaboratively on many concurrent project activities, each with many tasks. Using Freedcamp is helping us to keep on top of who is doing what, and what else needs to be done. Almost everyone in the team has never used a project management system before, but they have adapted to Freedcamp quite easily.

I've used so many project management / task trackers in the last 12 years but freedcamp is truly the best for internal and external input. You can easily assign access to clients and consultants and the user interface is really easy to understand.

I wish freedcamp would make some improvements to their kanban / milestone features. They're not fully fledged out. They work but it takes some time to figure out how to use them.

I'm using freedcamp for internal product development / task tracking and external client project management.

It organized well our fund's partners directory.

It needs to be optimized for a smooth interaction with each title located in the tasks.

We use a lot of the option tasks to find information related to every fund partner contact information and relate links.

Freedcamp is constantly improving. We've used the free version for ages and recently switched to a payed account. It is very feature rich, and I would recommend it to anyone in project management.

To be honest, we like most elements of freedcamp. The elements we were struggling with have been updated and fixed in the meantime.

We use it for project management in our business (software business)

Quick and easy setup to get started using immediately UI is clean, straightforward and uncluttered Entire layout of project overview, upcoming tasks, etc. is exactly what I've been looking 14 day business level trial was an ideal amount of time to see if it was worth purchasing Most important feature for me is to be able to create a project template from an existing project and set/adjust timeline - love this!

This is minor, but wish I could set a time in addition to a date deadline. Still learning their system so hope to provide an update down the line.

As my business grows, Freedcamp is helping me stay on top of my client projects, managing the myriad tasks involved and meet the various deadlines.

This app manage to provide the sweet balance between my learning curve in using the app effectively until go up and running, and all the necessary functionalities, without putting my self too much in configuring all the features with it's bells and whistles. The support alone is a solid and consistent 5 star performance, very prompt and spot-on showing a high level customer and solution oriented team. Roadmap and active development are heading towards my business needs which means this app is definitely a good long term investment for my team since Freedcamp has been around for quite some time now. More integrations are coming up as well, but for now, I'm satisfy with how the app being developed for the last 6 months or so.

The on-boarding is good but the learning curve a little bit steep the first time I test it. But recently they improved the UI big time, and it surely enhances other users in my team having a much better UX, and support is always within reach anyway.

This app manages to provide the sweet balance between the learning curve in using the app effectively to go up and running, and all the necessary functionalities without putting my self too much in configuring all the features with the bells and whistles. Definitely a good Value for Money compared to most similar apps, with all Necessary Features & Advantages for Team Collaboration available, and the company is having a Clear Roadmap & Active Development, combined with a Highly Effective & Prompt Support team.

There are so many things to like about Freedcamp. Ease of use is probably number one. It is very intuitive and straightforward to use, but it has a lot of features too. I use it just for my project management, and it does everything I need it to do. The API is also straightforward to set up and use. I built an interface from an application I wrote that creates tasks for me to review and sets the due date to remind me to get things done. Pricing is also great. The free version has a lot of features, but to move up a tier is very inexpensive. I signed up for the free version, then the minimalist level to set due dates.

Honestly, I don't have anything I dislike about Freedcamp. They are constantly improving the product and adding features. If I found anything to be annoying, I would not be a paying customer!

I built an app that creates tasks for me to review daily. It removed the requirement of me reviewing all data every day and highlights the significant changes for the day. Doing this saves me time knowing that out of 60 items, only three or four need any attention.

Freedcamp practically helped me organize every task and subtask in a well-visualized manner and with proper team involvement. After we used Freedcamp for our internal projects and tasks, we extended using it for our clients. We became very confident to onboard them on their specific project and we start communicating via Freedcamp.

The mobile application needs more attention. Otherwise, the desktop version satisfies our needs fully.

Pain: - Unorganized Tasks - Unorganized flow of process - Whom is doing what - Deadlines Value: - Tasks & Subtasks with deadlines and allocated team members - Very professional interface in front of our clients - Items are not limited only to tasks. Calendar Events, Milestones & Etc

I like it because I can work in a group and the kanban view is incredible.

maybe some more tools in the task and assignment person to do it

Group assignment for task and communication, so everyone knows when they have to work and what they have to do.

I use Freedcamps for some years due to the user-friendly and effectiveness of the system. The best thing apart of managing different projects with different teams and customers is the task management system, that helps us a lot to organize our day by day and our milestones. The option that allows living history comments in every single task is super useful to control the evolution deep in detail and also to optimize our reporting to customers and also internally. To know in real-time, the situation of a single task could seem simple, but for me is really important, because we avoid meetings, calls, emails and reporting. The Dashboard is also really useful to know in some seconds the priorities of the day. Exporting data also helps to present project evolution to clients.

The format of some widgets is not well integrated. But in general, I am satisfied. If I have to recommend something to improve the system, this could be to add the possibility to integrate wordpress as a pluggin, to match wordpress projects with freedcamp projects. Another good option that I would like to improve is the possibillity to recive via WhatsApp some up-dates not all, but it could be a really good option be in the business during travels, without using the APP mobile.

Our organization is based in different locations, with different profiles, and involved in different projects. Freedcamp help us to keep al the team updated, and provide us a lot of power in terms of time management. We do not need to make so many calls, emails, or videocalls, as before, so our time management has improved a lot. And also help to make our personal life quality better. Follow up, internally and providing access to the customers, they are really happy because they see step by step the evolution of their contracted projects.

I like how easy it is to use. I can navigate easily and it's not cumbersome. I like being able to set up multiple tasks and assinging them accordingly. Being able to also invite others outside of my organization to view a project is a plus.

I cannot add custom fields when creating a new project. I really wish I could! This is a huge drawback for me. I would like to be able to add a technician name as part of the Project when first creating the project but cannot do this. Currentlly I just have to assing the tech via tasks lists.

I am an active project manager and I use Freedcamp to run all my current projects. I am solving deliverables by being able to track my projects actively. I realize I the benefits are allowing outside stakeholders also to be a part of the project(s).

It is very intuitive. I use less than 50% of all features and, yet, I feel everything I need is attended. It is easy to add lists and tasks and also see the big picture. Also, I like that I can add as many people I want for a project, limitating their access. It gives me more secure.

When I need to assign a task to a team, I need to put only one person to do that. But sometimes the same task is for more than 1 person. Usually, I tag all crew on the description of the task, although assigning it to only 1. Also, although KanBan is a very good way to see how the project is going, I find some difficulties to navigate.

With Freedcamp, I can have all feedbacks and history of a project on a single platform. Although I don't use it to upload and archive files (I use GDrive), on Freedcamp, I can tell exactly what my team must do to deliver the entire project. Thanks to Freedcamp, I can deliver end-to-end projects to my clients. There are about 135 projects already delivered.

For an individual, one-man shop like me, Freedcamp's pricing model is by far the best of any online project management platform. And I really really like the lifecycle of projects.

The UI has its quirks, not gonna lie. The wiki feature is very primitive and lacking. It's not a show stopper, but something you have to learn to live with.

Freedcamp lets me implement "Getting Things Done" methodology and it lets me keep track of a thousand things at once from the tiniest errand reminder to the biggest life goals. I might not get everything done n a given day, but I have tremendous peace of mind knowing that nothing will fall through the cracks either. If I don't get something done, it's because there were too many other more important things that needed to get done.

I enjoy the various options to view and filter information: calendar, kanban, list, Gantt, or the new grid view.

Nothing major at the moment. I do wish you could favorite project colors. Personally, I would like to color-code certain types of jobs without copy and pasting hex codes. And when you're in full screen mode for a task I wish the followers toggle would be pinned to the top for when scrolling through longer exchanges you don't have to scroll to the top to add/remove someone.

I work in marketing for the casino industry. I use Freedcamp to traffic all the creative requests that come in from various departments (Hotel, Casino, Food & Beverage, Sales, HR and Entertainment) to make sure they get logged and completed on time. I enjoy the options Freedcamp gives me to visualize information when tasks are due so I can prioritze as needed. I like that you can enable/disable certain modules depending on project needs. It is robust in features and affordably priced.
