### "Awesome project management tool!"

January 31, 2026

4.0

Pros

What I like most about Freedcamp is how much functionality it offers without forcing upgrades. The free plan provides real project structure, task ownership, deadlines, and collaboration tools that allow our nonprofit to operate efficiently, stay accountable, and scale systems without adding financial strain.

Cons

One drawback is limited task visualization options. Calendar, timeline, and advanced task views would make things easier to see workloads, deadlines, and dependencies at a glance.

### "Construction Company Backbone"

September 15, 2025

5.0

My overall experience has been excellent. It’s become the backbone of how we manage projects, and I honestly don’t know how we’d stay as organized without it, because I sure know we weren't before we found it. It gives us structure, accountability, and a single place where everything lives—tasks, discussions, policies, and even issues that pop up. It’s not just software we use; it’s part of our daily workflow, and it has genuinely made us more efficient as a team.

Pros

What I really like about Freedcamp is how it keeps everyone accountable without making things complicated. The task assignments and milestone tracking give us a clear picture of who’s responsible for what, and the time tracking is simple but effective. The built-in discussions make a huge difference. we don’t lose important conversations in email anymore, everything stays tied to the project. I also like the Wiki feature because it gives us one place to store policies and project info that anyone on the team can pull up when they need it. The issue tracker is another big plus, it helps us log problems as they come up, assign them, and follow them through until they’re actually resolved. For me, it’s the mix of accountability, organization, and transparency all wrapped into an affordable price that makes Freedcamp stand out.

Cons

Honestly, there isn’t much I dislike about Freedcamp. Every tool we’ve tried has its quirks, but with Freedcamp I haven’t run into anything that feels like a real drawback. The features we use work the way we need them to.

[Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/)[Basecamp](https://www.capterra.com/p/56808/Basecamp/)

Reason for choosing Freedcamp

When we were evaluating tools, we looked closely at both Basecamp and Procore. Basecamp is good for basic task management, but it felt too limited for the complexity of construction projects—we needed more than just to-do lists and simple messaging. Procore, on the other hand, is powerful but comes with a steep learning curve and a price tag that didn’t make sense for our needs. Freedcamp struck the right balance. It gives us accountability tools like task assignments, milestones, and issue tracking, but also adds features like discussions, a Wiki, and time tracking without being overly complicated or expensive. It was the best fit for how we actually work day to day.

### "Not the most flexible tool on the market"

March 7, 2018

3.0

It helped us in our earlier stages of project management and team alignment

Pros

We used Freedcamp for a few months and it really helped us align our team's projects and tasks. Intuitivne and easy to use, it did the job it was supposed to do.

Cons

It's too basic. You cannot edit project phases - there are only 3 basic stages : to do, in progress, done. If your team is practicing scrum, you see the problem. I think it's a good tool to start with, but as your appetites and team's projects get more complex, it will become obsolete.

Review Source

Response from Freedcamp

March 8, 2018

We think that each task can be only in progress, not in progress or completed but true - not in progress task can have a clarification sub-status like 'waiting for a feedback' or 'postponed' and we do consider adding sub-statuses in the future. Things like Testing, Review - task lusts can be used to handle. task in Testing task list will still be in progress, not started or completed because if you set it as status you will never know if actual testing phase not started, in progress or completed. To handle this in Kanban view we plan to allow to switch Kanban view to show columns as task lists in addition to by status available now. Hope it helps what is planned and what to expect.

### "Freedcamp for Small Nonprofit Teams"

March 5, 2026

5.0

Our nonprofit's communications committee uses this to manage social campaigns, newsletter production, design tasks, and email marketing. We tried Trello but switched to Freedcamp — we liked the UI more and it felt like a better fit. Before this we relied on email threads and Google Docs, which made it hard to stay organized. Good option for any small team that needs to stay on top of tasks without a lot of setup.

Pros

Very easy to get started with and intuitive to learn — our team picked it up right away. We can assign tasks, set due dates, and everyone knows what they're working on. We like being able to comment and attach files directly to tasks, and having separate boards for each area keeps everything from getting mixed together.

Cons

There really are no cons for a small team with our needs. A larger team may find it lacking in features.

### "Love Freedcamp"

April 7, 2025

5.0

Outstanding project management tool! Love it!

Pros

I am absolutely blown away by how Freedcamp has helped organize the Philadelphia Folk Festival and support the Philadelphia Folksong Society, especially given that it’s all managed by an incredible team of dedicated volunteers. Freedcamp has truly been a game-changer for streamlining the planning and coordination of such a large-scale, volunteer-run event. As a volunteer myself, I can honestly say that Freedcamp has made the entire process so much easier and more efficient. With its intuitive project management features, we can easily track tasks, communicate, and stay organized as we work together to bring the festival to life. The platform allows the festival’s volunteer team to manage everything all in one place. The ability to assign tasks, set deadlines, and share updates in real-time has made a huge difference in ensuring everything runs smoothly and on time. Freedcamp is especially valuable given the scale of the 62 year old Philadelphia Folk Festival. It helps manage tasks carried out by more than two thousand volunteers working in different areas, all with the shared goal of making the festival a success. Freedcamp’s user-friendly interface ensures that everyone, no matter their role or experience level, can stay on top of their responsibilities and contribute effectively. It’s helped create a seamless flow of communication, making collaboration between teams, artists, and staff effortless. Beyond the festival, Freedcamp also supports the Philadelphia Folksong Society’s year-round activities, allowing volunteers to stay organized and manage community events, and outreach efforts. The platform’s versatility is key in helping the Society continue its mission to nurture and celebrate folk music. For an event that relies entirely on volunteers, Freedcamp has been indispensable in turning what could be a chaotic and overwhelming task into a manageable and enjoyable process. It’s clear that Freedcamp’s project management tools have played a huge role in the continued success of the Philadelphia Folk Festival, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the positive impact it has had on this beloved community event.

Cons

Could use a bit of work on navigation and gui

### "Best value, intuitive, highly recommend"

July 18, 2025

5.0

Overall, I found it intuitive, well organized and easy to build with teams. You def can’t beat the price! It’s free for the basic plan that has a lot of features. I upgraded to the pro plan to get the recurring event option. I still pay less/year than I did per month with other programs.

Pros

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! I tried many other platforms that were much more costly but didn’t integrate as nicely before I settled on Freedcamp. It’s fast, easy, and keeps me organized for sure!

Cons

The mobile app has the basics but not as much as the desktop version. Although I don’t find that I need as much info when I’m on my phone. Def would still recommend.

### "Small business, big changes through Freedcamp"

April 9, 2025

5.0

Overall, it's allowed our small team a general and clear oversight on tasks, management and timelines- it's really helped us shape our next steps.

Pros

Ease of use- from setup moving forwards has meant that me and my team have been able to get moving with the projects fast, and transparently.

Cons

I'm using the free version and so actually what I'm missing is access to the Gantt charts, which are available on the Pro.

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!

### "Freedcamp Review – Company Use"

August 30, 2024

5.0

Our overall experience with Freedcamp has been outstanding. It has become an essential part of our team’s workflow, helping us manage projects with ease and efficiency. The platform is intuitive, making it easy to onboard new team members quickly, and the customization options allow us to tailor it to our specific needs.

Pros

What we love most about Freedcamp is its versatility and user-friendly interface. It offers a comprehensive set of tools for project management, all in one place, making it easy to collaborate with team members, manage tasks, and keep everything organized.

Cons

While Freedcamp is overall an excellent tool, one area for improvement could be the mobile app. Although it offers a lot of functionality, it sometimes feels less intuitive and a bit clunky compared to the desktop version.

### "Extraordinary Value, Flexibility, Features, Support, UI/UX that keeps improving "

July 30, 2020

5.0

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

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.

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"

August 7, 2020

5.0

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.

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.

### "Freedcamp is a great project management tool that allows teams to collaborate."

July 30, 2020

5.0

Overall Freedcamp is great tool for project management.

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.

### "An well structured time saver that helps run projects efficiently."

June 25, 2020

5.0

I loved the clarity of thinking that Freedcamp offers through its very clean interface. Compared to a support system I was previously using Freedcamp is a breath of fresh air and I could not imagine running projects without it now. I would also add that the entry level version is totally free and comes with Unlimited Projects, Tasks, Storage, and Users.

Pros

Freedcamp provides a very scalable solution for anyone that needs to increase their productivity through improved project management. Initially I used Freedcamp for one client and one detailed project. Then it grew to one client with multiple in-depth projects, then it grew to multiple clients with multiple projects. The way Freedcamp is designed it handled this growth easily, and as an end user the process was very straight forward and instinctive without the need to refer to any documentation at all.

Cons

Advanced use of Freedcamp would involve the use of widgets which are mostly available to power users. I found widget implementation to be a little confusing at first and perhaps the least developed aspect of Freedcamp. This may be down to my lack of experience in this area and I perhaps need to checkout the knowledgebase articles in this area.

### "Project Management That's Not a Project to Manage"

July 30, 2020

4.0

Pros

Freedcamp has been indispensable to our company, both in our nascent and more developed business stages. It's interface is straightforward, and its robust feature set allowed us to utilize new tools as our business grew and demanded more. Key among those was a built-in time tracker that allowed us to better and more accurately quote projects. Its free features were sufficient for our needs in the beginning, but the price point for upgrading to Business/Enterprise level was also reasonable, especially compared to similar platforms. We were also able to start using it "out of the box" rather than some other platforms we tried out, where merely setting everything up was an investment of time and resources we, as a small business, just didn't have.

Cons

The mobile app is not as robust as the browser-based application, but the company has been making improvements on that front.

### "Great Value and Very Easy to Use"

November 8, 2024

5.0

Freedcamp has been an invaluable tool in helping manage projects. With its intuitive user interface and competitive pricing, we've been able to integrate the software seemlessly into our workflow. There has been a noticeble increase in productivity since we introduced the software to our group.

Pros

Freedcamp has a very intuitive UI setup. It is very easy to assign tasks to specific individuals and set goals for deadlines. The task tracking feature is also very helpful in allowing project leads to easily get a bigger picture of the progress being made. Freedcamp support also has a very quick turnaround response time, which is very helpful for resolving any issues.

Cons

There are some more advanced project tracking features that are more confusing, but these don't affect the usability of the basic and most important functions.

### "My Favorite Project Management Application"

March 10, 2018

5.0

Freedcamp is an amazing tool that works well in small businesses with no need for Program or Portfolio Management. Managing multiple projects at that level might not be an easy thing to do. I track a dozen projects at any given time, but my business structure is simple and does not rely on overly complex resource allocations or time management... I am a small shop managing projects as needed, keeping tabs on time spent for billing, and track of tasks to be completed. Freedcamp does provide a means of tracking milestones as well and fits the bill to my exact business needs. From what I can see with my daily use, Freedcamp can be cumbersome in environments with heavy development. It does not provide for defect management, testing, etc. It is a task board that can be customized to fit many needs, but definitely not an enterprise tool.

Pros

Freedcamp provides a flexible and effective pricing structure to fit any business needs, including a free account. The list of standard features alone are impressive: shared file management, tasks, discussion boards, calendar, message boards, unlimited users, projects and storage, even time tracking... a feature that is often considered a premium with other project management applications. It has a pleasant UI which makes it easy to use. Even the setup is easy. Most of all, it provides customization at each project level. The home page now offers a dashboard that displays specific information for each logged in user. Get a bird's eye view of your work, updates, projects and weekly calendar overview on a single page to start off your day. Want an even more customized experience? Head straight to the widgets and create your own dashboard tailored to your specific needs. Freedcamp also provides the ability to change the display of many pages to a different view (i.e. view projects as cards or as a list).

Cons

I use the free account because it provides me with all the features I find essential for my simple business structure. But, it would be nice if there was some sort of basic or simple reporting features at this level. Unfortunately, reporting is only part of their paid subscription. But their pricing is low enough that it is actually worth forking out the extra few bucks. For as long as I have been using Freedcamp, I have not yet encountered anything else I would consider a con, as it has provided me with a solution to all of my project management needs. I do not work with Program or Portfolio Management, so I am not sure if Freedcamp provides such level of management. Based on their features list, this does not appear to be something Freedcamp has been designed to do. But if Program or Portfolio Management is not a part of your environment, Freedcamp is definitely worth looking into.

### "The best free project management system I have used"

April 10, 2024

5.0

Pros

Creating projects, tasks and time tracking is a breeze with Freedcamp. Organising projects is even better; searching, sorting and filtering features are well thought out. I particularly like the Kanban settings when viewing each project because it gives me a quick, overall view. The Tasks Board saves me time when planning and prioritising to work on several projects on any given day; if I need to see which projects are close to the deadline, then it is just a click away with Saved Searches. I can't imagine being as organised and productive without Freedcamp.

Cons

I often have multiple task lists for a project. On the Tasks Board, this means the project name comes up several times, and I have to click on the project name to get to the task. But no matter which project name I click on, the tasks from the topmost task lists will always be displayed and I have to collapse the topmost task lists or scroll down to get to the tasks I want to work on.

### "Excellent project management features and customer support."

October 4, 2021

5.0

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.

### "Freedcamp works for my business"

August 5, 2020

5.0

Overall I think Freedcamp is good for managing the design and marketing projects that I do for clients. It allows me to keep files, discussions, and other details related to the project in one place.

Pros

I like that I can do a variety of things in one place. I can exchange files with clients or subcontractors. I can start discussions with clients or subcontractors. Or I can use the discussion feature to make notes for myself. I like the timer feature where I can track the time spent on a project. I also like the tasks feature to keep track of what I need to do.

Cons

There are certain things I would like to do in the software, but I am not sure how to do them. I don't know if they are possible, or perhaps I need more training to understand how to accomplish them. One thing is I would like to hide the archived projects, so I don't have to scroll through them every time I am trying to select a project.

### "Freedcamp Keeps Me Organized and Helps Me Get Everything Done"

August 7, 2020

5.0

Designing and Developing websites involves hundreds of tasks that must be completed for every site. The ability to create templates for this really cuts down on my workload. Clients are sometimes resistant to using it because they're not familiar with it but it's so much better than email chains.

Pros

The ability to create templates for repetitive tasks like developing and launching websites and marketing campaigns. Being able to let clients follow progress and provide feedback while also leaving some discussions and procedures behind the scenes. Being billed based on participation so I don't have to go in and shut clients and contractors accounts on and off is a huge time saver.

Cons

I think the image/file uploading feature could be improved. It isn't organized well and will often name a pasted image the same name as a previously uploaded image. We'd like to be able to easily include video in the process. It's possible now but a dedicated training area would be nice.

Reason for choosing Freedcamp

At the time, it was price.
