Would definitely recommend. Pros Free platform that allows one to create unlimited projects, assign unlimited tasks to each project, as well as track status of tasks. Cons It can be tricky to create sub-tasks using the free version, especially when compared to the free trial. Review Source JN Julian N. Communications Chair Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) We also tried Trello but switched to Freedcamp because it felt like a better fit for us. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Chief Executive Officer Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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. Cheers, Igor NF Neema F. COO Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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. Alternatives considered [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. Review Source RM Rob M. Volunteer - IT Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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.

Quality Assurance Manager Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Freedcamp is great" February 10, 2026 5.0 Awesome, really took our company's workflow to a new level. We can stay on top of tasks and projects like we could not before. Pros The flexibility to assign tasks to a team and track it. The interface is simple and easy to use. Love the website Cons The mobile app could improve, does not work as easy as the website. Other than that I can not complain.

Research and education coordinator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "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.

Our Event Since the late 1960s, our club has hosted an annual Home and Lifestyle Show as our primary fundraising initiative. This two-day event, held at our local high school, attracts between 3,000 and 5,000 visitors and features: Approximately 130 local vendor booths of various sizes Community and non-profit organization participation Educational workshops Food concessions Corporate sponsorship opportunities All proceeds support local community programs and initiatives. The Challenge Traditionally, event planning has been the responsibility of the President-Elect, a position that rotates annually. This structure created significant challenges in knowledge transfer between leaders, resulting in stress and potential gaps in continuity. Our reliance on spreadsheets for project management proved cumbersome and difficult for an event of this complexity. The Solution After extensive research into project management platforms, I selected Freedcamp for its comprehensive features and great non-profit pricing. I soon realized that we would need the Business Plan tier which provides many features including: Task lists and sub-tasks Kanban boards Gantt charts Milestone tracking Time tracking Collaboration tools CRM and issue tracking and much more Experience so far Freedcamp generously provided a two-month free trial period, after which we plan to transition the paid subscription. 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. The learning curve proved manageable through hands-on exploration, and the platform's intuitive design made setup straightforward. When challenges arose, I successfully used AI assistance when needed. My Impressions and Recommendation While I continue to explore Freedcamp's full feature set, the improvement over our previous methods is substantial. I am confident the initial time investment in system setup will yield significant time savings and reduced stress for future event chairs. This will make the role more manageable and help us recruit future event chairs with confidence. I strongly encourage fellow Rotarians and other non-profit organizations managing complex events to consider Freedcamp. There are various subscription tiers to fit your needs. Jurgen Craig-Muller

Hyannis, MA Pros As a Service Club hosting each year a big fundraising event, Freedcamp is very comprehensive (business plan) , great valuesfor you money as a non-profit, clean look, straightforward. Cons For our non-profit , hosting a big event , we needed the business plan otherwise no negatives that I can think of Review Source Sean M. Co-Founder and CEO Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "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.

Executive Officer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best Nonprofit Project Management System" November 26, 2025 5.0 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. Review Source JT Julian T. Operations Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "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.

Inbuilt chat function. Support for not for profits also felt a lot more tangible. Switched from [Notion](https://www.capterra.com/p/186596/Notion/) Was too visually complicated, not intuitive enough, also much more expensive! Review Source EM EW M. Copyeditor Writing and Editing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "For small organizations, this is a great free option" August 7, 2020 4.0 Pros I'm a freelancer working with several different clients. I use Freedcamp with clients who aren't already using another project-management service, and the free version gives me everything I need. My clients don't take to it immediately; they prefer to rely on email for most communication and file-sharing, but for my own personal projects or for working with subcontractors, I like the file-sharing capabilities and the calendar integrations. Filling out an honest survey about why Freedcamp has been a useful solution is the very least that I can do to thank them for keeping a free option for the platform, so here I am! Cons I wish that I didn't have to pay to get the ability to copy projects, but it was smart business for them to withhold that from the free service, because I've \*almost\* broken down and gotten it. But I'm a penny-pincher, so I'm holding out. I also still haven't quite figured out how to get global teams working quite right, but that's probably on me!

The same is true about project-management services. I "got" Freedcamp in a way that I didn't "get" Trello and other services. Some of them had way too many choices and customizations, and I couldn't get a free option with others. It was free to try Freedcamp, and I've never needed anything else. Review Source JR Jamie R. Chief Operating Officer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "If you want a project management software that works for you..." August 4, 2020 5.0 One unexpected benefit of Freedcamp is the improvement to the staff’s morale when I don’t have to do nearly as much micro-managing and instead they can see in writing exactly what is expected, the due date, communicate progress, etc. without a manager constantly asking. It also makes editing or correcting errors or mistakes more like collaboration than like corrections. Pros Freedcamp is so incredibly intuitive and user friendly, not to mention, each time I have ever had a hiccup or a desired result from the software that I couldn’t achieve on my own, I just emailed support and they were able to customize from the back end to make it do anything I needed. I can’t say enough about the amount of time this tool saves me as chief of operations and I can’t imagine doing my job without it. Cons The only feature I feel could be improved significantly is the “email in” feature. It’s quite cumbersome the first time you email into a project and if you are like me, you have so many projects going at one time that it is not convenient to have to log in, go to the project, select email in, copy the address and then alter it depending on if it’s a file, discussion, etc. Alternatives considered [OneDrive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161304/OneDrive/)[Basecamp](https://www.capterra.com/p/56808/Basecamp/) Reason for choosing Freedcamp Honestly, after utilizing the free trial of Freedcamp, there wasn’t anything that I felt like it was missing or couldn’t do. And as far as file storage, the integration with google drive made it an easy sell as google is primarily free and/or completely inexpensive. Review Source AD Alistair D. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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.

Co-Owner Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Alternatives considered [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/)[Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/) Reason for choosing Freedcamp The initial price point (free) and the ease with which we could set things up without needing to invest a ton of time and energy into getting it where it needed to be to suit our needs.

It helps a lot to organize your work and tasks among the people. 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.

The platform offers an impressive range of features that make managing projects, tasks, and collaboration a breeze. We were fortunate to receive an educational license, which has allowed us to fully leverage its capabilities. The seamless interface, combined with powerful tools, has helped us stay organized and boost productivity. We highly recommend Freedcamp to any team or business looking for an efficient project management solution!" Cons "One improvement we’d love to see is the ability to add comments to individual tasks within a task list, making it even easier to communicate and track progress on specific items." Review Source Response from Freedcamp December 3, 2024 Thanks for the review. Please reach out to clarify as we allow you to add comments to tasks and subtasks. We also allow you to post bulk comments on filtered and/or selected multiple tasks and subtasks. I would love to clarify and help! JMV Jose Miguel V. Owner Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A good old friend" November 26, 2023 5.0 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. 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.

Associate Professor Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great balance of complexity and features but a bit of a learning curve" July 1, 2020 4.0 Complex academic research projects with collaboration among Canadian and Tanzanian teams. Pros Web-based so easy to add on team members regardless of their hardware and experience. Flexible; can assign tasks, dates, priorities, people and can create several levels of sub-tasks. I like the integration with Dropbox so that files are easily available to all partners and access does not depend on Freedcamp itself. If I ever decide to stop using Freedcamp, I won't have valuable files locked into Freedcamp that I'll have to download before quiting. The support is superb; emails are answered quickly, often within hours and questions answered accurately and concisely without the usual boilerplate text verbiage that many software companies (esp. the big ones) like to indulge in. Switching between the list and Kanban views is very nice. Cons With complex projects, the webpages can begin to be very cluttered. As well, the default for finished tasks in to us a strike-out font as opposed to hiding or archiving them so one may see a page where the majority of text is struck out. reporting is rudimentary, basically a summary of tasks and a time period with little customization possible. I would like, for example, to be able to generate a report by individual team member of all of their assigned tasks and deadlines. Reason for choosing Freedcamp Please see above comments. Basically, it was a nice balance between complexity and ease of use and it is also considerably cheaper to scale up to more features or more users than the alternatives. Review Source Melle P. Creative Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Best Software We've Found" January 12, 2023 5.0 I had to really search for "Cons" with this software. The free version is GENEROUS, and that's an understatement. Besides that, the design itself is intuitive. You can schedule a project in a general/high level format, or micromanage down to the last grain of sand. There are so many ways to manage your data. The collaboration in it is great, the task management is great, the project and user-management is great. The customer service even "undeleted" a project for me once. I have nothing bad to say about the system at all. We run a multi-freelancer design firm, and it handles everything we need with flawless efficiency. Pros Calendar view is exceptional, the ability to organize tasks, projects and subtasks keeps everything flowing as it should. Saved views allow for a customized experience. There are TONS of features available for free users, so it's definitely something that can grow with a startup. Cons 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.

Project Manager Graphic Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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.

But when I started to use Freedcamp about a year ago, I learn that this app manages to provide the sweet balance between my 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 it's bells and whistles. Other than that, their support alone is a solid and consistent 5 star performance, very prompt and spot-on showing a high level customer and solution oriented team. I had a few issues during the set-up but once support came in handy, the rest of the on-boarding process was really smooth. In a way, it is a mature App, but later-on, I found out that their roadmap is growing continuously to the right direction, based on my team way of working, and also the current business needs dynamic. 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. Pros 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 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. Cons 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 and it surely enhances other users in my team to have much better UX, and support is always within reach anyway.

Pros The development team is constantly improving the software and it seems to get better and better. The interface is really nice, and it's very intuitive. You have have lists or kanban boards for tasks, and subtasks too. The projects are colour coded and it's easy to navigate them. You can import tasks from an excel sheet which is really helpful if you have a standard list of tasks for each new project. The free version is perfect for me since I work on my own but I can see that it would be great for teams to use as well. Cons At the moment you can't have recurring tasks, which is a massive negative. However, this this planned to be included in 2018 I believe. The Android app is currently a bit basic (and not very stable on my tablet), but I believe this is also due for an upgrade in 2018 so fingers crossed it will get better. Task reminders could be better - at the moment you can set filters to show tasks due in a certain number of days, but it's a bit clunky and it would be helpful to have start and end dates for tasks rather than just single dates. Review Source Response from Freedcamp January 3, 2018 Hi, Just an update. Start date for tasks is available on Business Plan and we plan to add it to Lite plan as well in 2018. You are correct regarding recurrent tasks - planing to add in Q1 2018 to all paid plans. New daily/weekly digest reminding on missed deadlines for both start and due dates in tasks, milestones, issues is coming early Jan, Thanks for your review! SW Sandra W. CEO Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Switched from [Podio](https://www.capterra.com/p/128631/Podio/) I thought Freedcamp had better features. Review Source Response from Freedcamp August 6, 2020 Hi, Sandra! You should know that it's possible to hide archived projects. Click your user name in the right side of the menu and select Manage System. Then, click the settings icon and choose the option "Hide Archived Projects" if you have any other questions, let us know at help@freedcamp.com BH Bill H. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Alternatives considered [Basecamp](https://www.capterra.com/p/56808/Basecamp/) Reason for choosing Freedcamp At the time, it was price.
