[Overview](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/freedcamp-profile/) Reviews [Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/freedcamp-profile/alternatives/) # Freedcamp User Reviews ## Reviews summary - Overall rating: 4.7/5 - Total reviews: 503 ### Secondary ratings - Ease of use: 4.5/5 - Customer support: 4.7/5 - Value for money: 4.7/5 - Functionality: 4.4/5 ### Rating distribution - 5 stars: 359 reviews (71%) - 4 stars: 121 reviews (24%) - 3 stars: 19 reviews (4%) - 2 stars: 3 reviews (1%) - 1 star: 1 reviews (0%) ### Most mentioned pros - This year, I configured our entire Home Show planning process within Freedcamp, running it parallel to our traditional methods to facilitate a smooth transition for next year's event. - Hyannis Rotary Club's Experience with Freedcamp As Webmaster and IT Coordinator for the Hyannis Rotary Club, a service organization with over 100 years of community impact ( [sensitive content hidden]), I am pleased to share our experience implementing Freedcamp project management software. - I found Freedcamp to be very intuitive and I love the outlook integration that allows me to save emails as comments to easily find my zoom links or info needed for a project without having to scour my inbox! ### Most mentioned cons - Hard to think of much, it's hard to view a Gant chart on my mobile but that's really a limitation of my mobile size than Freedcamp. - The notification feature is annoying, by default it emails you about EVERYTHING (but you can shut it off), the homepage view is overwhelming, there's a bit of a learning curve and the password management doesn't feel like a safe space for passwords. - Perfect value for money, but unfortunately there's no French version, so the interface is difficult for French-speaking users. ## Freedcamp customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 503 (page 1). ### Freedcamp is amazing and a life saver overall - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Michael P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food & Beverages - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It is an amazing amount of software for the free tier and I highly recommend it for those with large teams, and those with small minimal teams the premium version is well worth it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Freedcamp is an amazing tool on the free version. For a company like mine, where I have a lot of different clients, and they have a lot of different marketers, designers, etc. that often need to be included on their tasks and conversations, it makes all the sense in the world for me to use this free tool... It organizes each client into its own project and we are able to create different types of task lists etc. #### Cons There are features in the pro/paid version that I would LOVE to have... The problem here is that if you have 30 - 50 clients, with 2 - 5 persons on each team, all with varying degrees of involvement on their website but all need to be kept in the loop on what tasks are open and what arent... It becomes impossible to upgrade, because I would have to upgrade for each user license... This kept me from an awesome appsumo deal that I really wanted to buy, but didnt make sense. My suggestion to them would be able to find a way to have just a few users, or even just one, that has the capabilities to upgrade the plan, and create subtasks, etc. while still keeping the same functionality for the free tier users. I NEED the clients to be able to create, edit, etc. their own tasks. I would literally lose functionality and the ability to use the platform for upgrading. My 2 cents. #### Reasons for switching to Freedcamp Basecamp, while overall a little better than Freedcamp, was far too expensive for my use case. --- ### Reliable, easy and affordable, meeting nonprofit needs - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Maggie J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: August 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered As a leader of digital marketing for the World Ethics Organization, leading the task of finding and setting up a project management tool for our nonprofit, and being able to present it and transfer over to Freedcamp, the rest of the team is satisfied and happy with the overall functionality of the tool as it meets our needs, as well as very prompt customer service, which is crucial for us. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Having been comparing many project management tools that are affordable for a nonprofit startup, Freedcamp is the only one we could start with due to it's affordability and functionality. It is relatively easy to use, especially for a nonprofit variety of people with different levels of technical skill sets. I have also been reaching out to customer support regarding some functions and use, and I was very satisfied with the outcome, because of prompt and clear replies, which for us is crucial. #### Cons The only thing that we are missing in the PRO version is not having the Gantt chart, which is available in the next level pricing, which unfortunately for our nonprofit is not affordable at this stage. #### Reasons for choosing Freedcamp Functionality and affordability, it has met all our needs. #### Reasons for switching to Freedcamp price affordability, we couldn't use the free version for the capacity we needed, and we couldn't afford the paid version for the capacity we do need it. --- ### It was struggle, struggle and struggle again - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Olga F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. See above Switching to another tool (basecamp) was something I lobbied and asked and could support myself through my organisation but the project coordinator who liked the tool was not in favour of any changes. The project is almost over, I will be happy to forget this nightmare. Please do more usability testing and make software user friendly! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros The only thing I liked it that the person who implemented it seemed to enjoy all the intricacies of the tool . I can imagine that computer science background was of help to this person. Otherwise, as a user I found this the worst software package I had to use in my entire professional life. #### Cons 3 years of struggle with each functionality of the tool - discussion threads, status, notifications etc. make it impossible to name one thing. I wonder whether there was any form of usability testing with new users ? I doubt it. I conquered the tool each time I needed some response from colleagues badly however it was never easy and I gave up doing an additional e-mail round to be sure the message reached the addressee. #### Vendor response Hi! I'm sorry you had a bad experience. We rarely get complaints like these, but we will consider implementing more usability testing. I would also like to add that we have no record of you ever being in contact with our support team, so I think the 1/5 rating in that category is a bit unfair. Replied August 2020 --- ### Beating your Monday Blues with Freedcamp - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: John H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Excellent. The team has always responded in the early days when we hit a snag, today I rarely need to talk to them if I do they respond almost instantly. I've had to use other programs over the years at various other companies I've worked at, I always return to Freedcamp, by far the best. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It keeps us focused on the tasks across a range of projects we run simultaneously. We run Fortitude Boxing Gym, one of Australia's largest Boxing Gym that has projects across Queensland in Australia supporting remote gyms and First Nations Communities. We also run fundraising events for the Veterans Community. With more than 8 projects in a year and many fight nights, that's a lot of work to keep track of. Freedcamp keeps us focused, on time, and because of that on budget. One feature that stands out is the ability of different users to view a project in different views, I love a Gant chats, whereas my boss loves the Koban view, so we both use our own preferred view of the same project. #### Cons Hard to think of much, it's hard to view a Gant chart on my mobile but that's really a limitation of my mobile size than Freedcamp. #### Reasons for choosing Freedcamp I trialed both Monday and Basecamp, both trials were very limiting and the team behind them showed no interest in my projects or programs. #### Reasons for switching to Freedcamp I moved from Asana as Freedcamp was easier, had more features for the budget, had a far better responsive team behind it, and gave better value for money. It was easier to teach people to use which is a key factor --- ### All In One Business Management @ Amazing Prices - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Christopher J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I think what impresses me about Freedcamp the most is the level of support. I asked about an automation feature I needed to maximize my workflow, and they rolled it out across the whole platform not long after! I have tons of experience with SaaS but this is next level. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love how accessible the team here has made Freedcamp to just about anyone. At first this devalued the whole thing in my mind, until I started trying out the premium features. I love how responsive the team is, and how customizable the software is. Between the combination of these two things, you can achieve pretty much anything you can imagine as far as project management software goes. The enterprise features are super cool too. The custom domain is almost unheard of in this space, tie that in with the branding and wow my mind is blown. #### Cons The learning curve. There is SO many features that figuring out how to prioritize and train on the ones you want to use can be overwhelming. I think this is a good problem to have, but it must be taken into consideration especially with larger organizations #### Reasons for choosing Freedcamp I loved the customizability, but it wasn't unified enough to scale. #### Reasons for switching to Freedcamp Wasnt happy with the support and constant price increases. I was also looking for something where I could customize domain and branding which Asana cannot do. --- ### Freedcamp is an Amazing Project Management Software that is insanely affordable! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Shawngela P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Professional Training & Coaching - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Freedcamp solved a desperate need for me to have an affordable project management software that fit my needs. Freedcamp fits that and more. I upgraded to the business plan and couldn't be more happy. The business plan for 5+ years, is far cheaper than what I was paying for a competitor for one year. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Freedcamp helps me easily see my upcoming tasks, tasks that are past due and comments on projects that need my attention. #### Cons As much as I love Freedcamp, I would say that setting it up, although not hard, did require some attention to detail. Figuring out how to add individual people and how to turn on specific apps for each project wasn't as intuitive as I would have liked. Having said this, after a few videos, I was up and going. #### Reasons for choosing Freedcamp Freedcamp offered more features and at the best price! I am still amazed and grateful for how much it offers. Thank you Freedcamp! #### Reasons for switching to Freedcamp Smartsheet was way too expensive for my company. I did like the features, but there were also some downfalls to using the spreadsheet model. I do prefer the setup of Freedcamp better. --- ### Best Nonprofit Project Management System - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Noel K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: November 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Freedcamp is an easy to use software and for us as a nonprofit, we really are small and need something affordable. Freedcamp checks all the boxes of a project management platform anyone can use. #### Cons I would love Freedcamp to have a strong chat feature, such as a Slack or a Discord so that most of the communication can occur in the project management system. Having that feature would really put it over the top. --- ### Freedcamp Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sarah R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: July 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered The application makes tracking tasks, and productivity a breeze!The ease of customization, and collaboration amongst our team has been amazing. The daily email prompts make it impossible to miss out on any deadlines. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Love how easy it is to stay organized with the project files. Task assignment amongst team members has been a great way to passively communicate and delegate. #### Cons Can take a little bit to get used to the application and learn about all the customization pieces there are. --- ### Efficient Project Management for Nonprofit Teams - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ghasali Muhammad E. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for free trial - Reviewed: September 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Freedcamp has helped Respek Indonesia Siaga manage multiple community projects with clear workflows, task assignments, and deadlines. It’s an excellent solution for nonprofit collaboration and team productivity. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Freedcamp’s simple interface and task features make it easy for our nonprofit team to stay organized and efficient. #### Cons The mobile app works well, but sometimes feels a little less smooth compared to the desktop version. --- ### Exactly What We Needed for Team Coordination - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Panagiota S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Sports - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Our overall experience with Freedcamp has been extremely positive. It brought clarity to our communication and allowed us to centralize project planning, task tracking, and documentation in one place. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Freedcamp allows us to manage multiple projects and team members in one centralized workspace without feeling overwhelmed. It offers structure without sacrificing flexibility, which is ideal for dynamic teams like ours. #### Cons Although the permissions and role settings are very useful, it took us a bit of time to fully understand how to configure them properly for our team’s structure. --- ### Freedcamp rocks! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jenn J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We like how easy it is to set up projects, tasks, time tracking, Slack integration, comments, and more. It's really got everything our small nonprofit needs. We used Asana for a while and it was good, but some staff found it clunky. Freedcamp is not clunky at all! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Freedcamp is so easy to use, as an administrator and as a user! #### Cons Can't find anything yet to complain about! #### Reasons for switching to Freedcamp Some staff felt like Asana was too overwhelming and clunky --- ### Extraordinary Value, Flexibility, Features, Support, UI/UX that keeps improving - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Tom H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Management Consulting - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. My consulting, ops and support support teams (from 3 to 20) have been using Freedcamp since 2017. Started with the free version which was met earlier requirements and quickly upgraded to the Business Plan. The platform has consistently met/exceeded my requirements for the wide range of use cases that my company encounters as we help internal and external clients with all aspects of business and product launches, turn-arounds, and M&As. The Freedcamp leadership, dev and support teams have always been responsive, they listen closely to the users, meet promised release dates and quickly roll out fixes and improvements that match or are better than competing platforms and customer feedback/requests #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Features and Functions that match or greatly improve upon other all the popular platforms I've used Clean, customizable, well designed and easy to learn and use UI / UX Very easy to deploy, onboard new users (internal teams, distributed workgroups, and contractors and clients) Powerful and flexible for both experienced users & project managers (agile and waterfall) and for people with limited to no tech skills Helpful and intuitive dashboard, reporting, tracking, drill downs, integrations with popular workgroup and collaboration platforms including Microsoft, Google, Dropbox, etc Fast and continuous platform improvements Cost/Benefit/Feature set offers a much better value than other platform I've used or vetted #### Cons The CRM module is functional and usable, and may meet the needs of organizations that are seeking a single platform for project management, support, and customer contact management - but it's not as mature or feature-rich as many popular stand-alone 3rd party CRMs. #### Reasons for choosing Freedcamp Cost/Benefit/Feature set offered a much better value than other platform I've used or vetted #### Reasons for switching to Freedcamp My teams typically work across Project Management platforms with a wide variety of complex external business situations, cultures, users, skills and competencies, etc - and subsequently need to manage and adapt internal workflows with external customer. Freedcamp has been the easiest to use and adapt to every situation and user as we work simultaneously in customer deployments of Asana, Basecamp, Excel spreadsheets, Slack, Teams, or the freemium platform de jour. I have often heard my team say "why can't I do [insert function, use case or feature] in XYZ Platform like I can do in Freedcamp? --- ### A fantastic product for freelancers -- the software equivalent of a virtual assistant - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Tracey W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Writing and Editing - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. For a free product that I deployed with a minimal learning curve, I am blown away by the number of features offered, and the flexibility that lets me match the software to my business needs. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros As a freelance editor, it's up to me to manage all aspects of my business for numerous clients. It is essential that I set deadlines and track my time per task in an orderly and centralized manner so nothing slips through the cracks. Freedcamp gives me these capabilities and more, plus peace of mind. #### Cons As a one-person business, I don't use all the bells and whistles. But the features I do deploy are user-friendly. The cons are few for me. The only quibble that might be worth mentioning relates to the time tracking feature. I can sort the time records that I create in many ways (e.g., status, alphabetical, amount of time). I like to sort by the date of the time record. But what I'd really love to do—and can't—is have a second-level sort feature so that, within a given date, I can sort the record alphabetically. It's a tiny quibble that I hesitate even to mention here. #### Reasons for switching to Freedcamp I switched jobs. I liked Basecamp when I worked for a large company. But I preferred the cost of Freedcamp (free) when I started my own freelancing business. --- ### Freedcamp is a great project management tool that allows teams to collaborate. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Graphic Design - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall Freedcamp is great tool for project management. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Using the entry-level (free) set up covers a lot of needs for most uses. This allows you to use the software and learn what works and doesn't for your team and fully gauge the need for paid services. #### Cons Expanding their add-ons to a variety of applications is probably the biggest issue. Though not a huge blocker, it opens up the application to be used by more companies already mid-stride in their business decisions. For example, Freshbooks integrates with the invoicing application but it takes some work to get Quickbooks to do so. #### Reasons for choosing Freedcamp It fit our needs better. #### Reasons for switching to Freedcamp For the money, Basecamp didn't deliver anything particularly special that many less expensive applications offer. --- ### Almost perfect, but not quite - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros When you get down to it, it is pretty simple. I've had to spend more time than i prefer on setup. Wish there was a service for that piece. #### Cons It has been a beast to implement and drive users to the tool. The lag in updates hurts us as times when new things are added, we have to wait a solid 2-3 min before they show up for the team. This lag is just enough time for "i don't see it on my freedcamp" emails. I also wish there was a better way to limit view to team members. This is what is on your plate today, period. #### Reasons for choosing Freedcamp My project managers chose this tool based on their research for what they needed. #### Reasons for switching to Freedcamp I prefer the gaant or list view, tiles don't give me a good overview of everything moving. --- ### Freedcamp a great project management tool - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Mustafa R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. A great product and fits all budgets with basic functionality kept free. And the power users can purchase advanced functionality as paid plugins #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Freed camps Task management is very powerful. The free version doesn't have sub tasks option but it can be bought as a paid plugin. Also has time logging for developers and milestones which are very critical in project managements. The best part is these also are available in free version. #### Cons The time log export is a bit clumsy and needs some updates. The filters don't always work. At least on my Mac. #### Reasons for switching to Freedcamp The trello is also a good product but its flexibility in kan ban is a bit too complex. While the basic kan ban structure of freedcamp appealed me. --- ### Freedcamp - best free and easy to use tool for project management - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Internet - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered To summarize, Freedcamp is the optimal tool for the small distributed teams who don't want to complicate their processes. It helps a lot to organize your work and tasks among the people. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros 1. Simple to use in comparison to other tools like Jira or Rally. 2. Free license to use for the small teams. 3. Ability to use plugins like TimeTracker. #### Cons Couple of years ago I used mobile version of Freedcamp, it had bugs and reduced functionality. Don't know what's up now with the application. I expect it to be improved as well as I noticed it for the Desktop/Browser version. #### Reasons for choosing Freedcamp Free license and time tracker, simplicity. --- ### A good old friend - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jose Miguel V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Suppose you want a simple task and project manager with affordable price options, with a free tier that will surely be enough to try and get to know the application. In that case, Freedcamp is undoubtedly an excellent option. Once you are sure that this product is for you, and you want to manage your business projects with this tool, I suggest you opt for the Business plan. In this plan you will see that the functionalities to which you will have access give you everything you need to manage your projects and tasks in the best way, whether alone or as a team. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It's almost been seven years since I first used Freedcamp. From the first moment, it became one of my favorite applications for task and project management, especially when I started a project in collaboration with a partner. Among its hooks was its attractive value per user and its kind free tier. It stood out for being one of the first applications that did not cut the wings of any user who wanted to try practically all its functions for nothing in return, without the odious need to include credit card information. Being 2023, Freedcamp has included new features, improved its user interface, and continues to offer prices that are affordable to any user. The option to have “collaborators” who can view and comment on your projects is one of the best free features a company can have available when managing projects. #### Cons Freedcamp is an application for task and project management that will surely be useful and easy for any user, especially those just getting to know these types of applications. However, in my case, Freedcamp is my secondary project manager, which I use weekly for side projects to my main job. This is mainly due to its add-on system. While this system works very well to keep the application simple and only show the functions you want to use, activating and deactivating modules is something I prefer not to do in these types of applications. --- ### Freedcamp for NGOs - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Urša Š. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered During the several years of use we've had different users of Freedcamp and we realized that a project management platform can do a lot for you if the initial data you enter is of a good enough quality. We had very good and very bad users, so we would summarize that a platform is only as good as the user is. We also need to admit that we have not yet exploited all of the possibilities that Freedcamp offers. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros We carry out several and very different projects and Freedcamp enables us to track the progress of these projects through several years of their execution. It is very valuable to us that we can split a single task into several tasks and allocate these subtasks to different users and set different deadlines, but at the same time we have everything in one place. It also gives us a good and quick overview on project's progress. We very much like the filtering option in calendar view, because we can get a good monthly overview of tasks in one or several projects and/or people assigned to them. The platform has also showed us its value when HR changes occurred, because it has been a good tool during the onboarding processes and enabled us to introduce our ongoing projects to new employees faster. We also like the automated notifications about the approaching deadlines (very useful!) and that each user can edit their notifications' settings and adjust them for their specific use (for example, a user can have full notifications in one project and almost none in another). #### Cons Some of our employees stated that for them Freedcamp is not intuitive and user-friendly enough. As we have many different projects, we cannot use project templates, therefore the initial set up of a project and its tasks requires quite some time investment. As with any other new tool, it takes some time to learn how to use it. It would be great if we could set up different font sizes and colors for tasks and subtasks, in order to divide them better and make the project overview more appealing to a profile of people with more artistic and creative tendencies. #### Vendor response Hi Urša Thanks for the review! Let me address some cons: - you should still be able to create projects (keep them archived) and create task lists that you can copy from there to new projects to workaround feature. - You can use emojis in task and task list tiles - many of our customers do use them Replied July 2024 --- ### I use this application to monitor my task and complete timesheets. Very useful. Very efficient. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Uriah G. - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: July 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered This software saves me time when doing my monthly timesheets and reports. It has helped me to better organize my work life, and my home life. I am looking forward to seeing this as a phone app, so that I can have access to it quickly, and on the go. Thank you to the freedcamp team. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Each project can be divided into task groups, which allows for a better separation of goals. The tool is probably designed for groups and teams to work together. But I am still in the midst of encouraging my team to use it officially. Currently, the Tasks page works well for self management. I am able to write as many notes as I like, set due dates which will show red when I am approaching the deadline. I love organization, and this page is by far the most useful for me. As a developer at a small company, I am responsible for many different tasks concerning several different projects at any given time. All of these tasks have deadlines and sometimes highly time sensitive. Coming into the task page and seeing things labeled in red, and due dates visible makes my job a little easier to manage. Before this, I was using Google Spreadsheets with the rest of my team to track tasks and deadlines. They still use Google, but I have been using this more and more. Even for my personal task and goals outside of work. #### Cons I like the time tracker. But I feel it could be better organized. It would be useful to store a collection of time records in an archived folder somewhere. I use the time records to keep track of my time each month, in order to bill my client. But after the bill is sent out, I no longer need to see the previous months records. However I would like to access them quickly without playing with the current filter setting. It would also be nice to have a MAX TIME option for a time record. Sometimes I get distracted and forget to hit the stop button. When I return to the time record, it may have 100+ hours and counting. Then I have to guess when I actually stopped working on the task. A selected many feature would be nice as well, in order to delete multiple records at once. I love the Tasks page, but I probably spend more time in the Time tracker page. #### Vendor response Hi Uriah, Thank you for a great review! Later this year you will see more new cool things related to Time/Tasks/Invoices - set estimate hours on a task - track time on Tasks - tasks will be exposed to Time app - time will be tracked for each manual entry or each timer run separately so we can tell how many exactly hours/min you spent this week or this month - Invoices app will allow to bill client by completed tasks or time period you select. Billed entries will be clearly marked and easily filtered out. You will also be able to pull a combination of completed only and, for example, last month. - if you worked on a long task and spent 40 hours (billed) last week and 25 hours (not billed) this week - time entry will be marked as partially billed. And yes - we will definitely add an email and pop-up reminder when timer is running more than 8 hours. As always - I am happy to chat 1:1 directly to better understand requirements.

No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Freedcamp is so easy to use right from the start. It is simple where it needs to be, making project management intuitive and clear. But it also has features for deeper and more complex collaborative needs. I'm using it with student interns at my university and it has helped us stay productive and organized. #### Cons I can't really find any cons as everything meets my needs. --- ### Excellent project management features and customer support. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Mark B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros 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. #### Cons 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. #### Reasons for switching to Freedcamp I searched for Project Management software - came across FreedCamp and haven't looked back. --- ### Very good task manager for entrepreneurs - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ernesto Enrique F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Human Resources - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. In general it is the best application to handle tasks, work teams and projects if you are an entrepreneur. I stopped using it because I needed some features like custom statuses and custom labels. Unfortunately they added them when I had already moved to another application #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I used this software for more than 4 years and was in love since its first use. If you are looking for a simple task manager to keep track of all your pending tasks, Freedcamp is undoubtedly your best option. You can manage your tasks by lists and projects, have as many projects as you want, even in its free version, manage users at your whim, filters, export tasks or entire projects. Freedcamp has instant synchronization with Google Calendar and now they added the integration feature with Zapier or you can develop your own API connection. #### Cons Something I do not like is the invoice manager, missing features that do have others, there is no continuity in the user interface, some features were added over time and look different and finally the mobile application, it still needs a lot of work. --- ### Great project management software for starters - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Carlos G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

I needed an alternative to SharePoint - Freedcamp is a cloud based PM software product used by many big names, so I tried it. Works great - LOVE the ability for outside consultant and team member collaboration without the ongoing IT hassles of SharePoint permissions. Runs on your phone! or really any device, so allows file access from anywhere. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Very easy to use - You'll be up and running in minutes Monthly invoicing and account information readily available Very responsive to end user requests Real tech support - by the folks who write the code sometimes Great value for the money Cloud data storage plus backups EASY to collaborate with folks from outside your organization without IT permission nightmares. Runs on your phone - nice feature. #### Cons User interface is improving with time - latest UI upgrade is a nice improvement I administer the program and projects so not sure how the more limited user interaction is Project templates are good once developed - some sample project templates might help new users get started faster #### Reasons for choosing Freedcamp Easier to setup and administer for non-IT folks - data is stored in the cloud, and backed up regularly.
