Chat, project and task management, great automations, time tracking - there's a lot there. My favorites are column actions in kanban and add task via email - these two alone have streamlined our processes and saved so much time! Cons There are some feature requests that have been in the 'requested' or even the 'planned' column for too long. Ora does update regularly - this is by no means abandonware - but I'm sure they're just tackling the most impactful and/or most requested features first (versus the ones I personally want to see).

Review Source Alexandro L. Owner Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The most complete solution out there to manage everything" April 23, 2024 5.0 Extremely happy with it. It's been more than 3 years using it and we can't imagine working without it. Pros It's such a powerful tool, it has almost everything I could think of to take care of my company, projects, and clients. And I say almost because, ofc, some things like invoices are being done with other apps, but ORA wasn't designed for that. It's really easy to work together with your team using ORA, has everything you need, including conferencing tools (ditch Zoom), calendar, deadlines, projects, attachments in the tasks or projects... I find it extremely useful to work on big projects, or things with a lot of small details, not loosing track. Cons When the tasks/cards has a lot of information and comments, it can get laggy. Also, deadlines from small tasks inside other tasks don't appear in the calendar, and that's a small problem for us. Alternatives considered [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) Reason for choosing Ora We saw ORA with more potential and features than other apps, things that could help us work better. Switched from [Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/) We weren't happy about the sorting options, customization and overal functionality. Review Source RG Rasmus G. Producer Motion Pictures and Film Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Underdeveloped but with great potential" April 14, 2024 3.0 Pros An affordable task management system with many great features. Cons Underdeveloped and buggy. Developers prioritize new features over ensuring basic functionality, which is crucial. Fundamental improvements are necessary for the software to gain trust from businesses and organizations. Additionally, frequent layout changes cause confusion with each update. Review Source Lisandro R. Head of Marketing E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ora has boosted our productivity!" February 12, 2021 4.0 Ora has definitely boosted our productivity: being able to "portray" all our ideas and organize them in beautiful cards is amazing. Everybody in the company knows what to do just by looking at their assigned tasks, cards, or checklist. The cards can be easily moved from "doing" to "done" in brief. Pros We have been using Ora for more than a year now. It has helped us to achieve our goals and meet our deadlines. Ora has been easy to use for everybody in the company. One of our favorite features is time tracking: we used to use different software to track the time it took to finish certain tasks but not anymore. Having a timer right there inside the cards is awesome. Cons One of the few things I dislike about Ora is the Projects tab organization. I got frustrated trying to take out a couple of projects that were mysteriously put inside an "Archived" folder. Moving the Projects from an Organization to another or even moving them inside the Organization itself is really frustrating. I wish it could be done by just dragging and dropping. Reason for choosing Ora Coming from Trello, no other project management software was considered. We saw Ora, we liked it a lot. Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) Trello has a better mobile app but it lacks a lot of features and feels really old. Ora is fresh, intuitive, and easier to use. Also, Trello is more expensive.

Team size of 15 people and still great and managable. Pros Easy to use. Just start creating some kan-ban projects, add some tasks and you are good to go. It's possible to extract reports per user, team, project and a lot of filters. Really good to keep projects on track. Cons Template for Workflows are not dynamic: you can create once and use. But if you need to change the Template, you have to create a new one. Switched from [Runrun.it](https://www.capterra.com/p/178611/Runrun-it/) Some feature or price, I don't remember clearly, but I think that was because of the Tracking Time feature. Review Source PC Philippe C. Founder, UI-UX Designer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ora replaced ClickUp" April 17, 2024 5.0 Very, very positive! The support team is also very reactive and receptive when we needed help or when we suggested new features. Pros It is faster, simpler and cheaper to use than ClickUp. Cons Some features like Chat, Scheduling, Time entries corrections are still rough on the edges. Reason for choosing Ora It is faster, simpler and cheaper to use than other products. It is also very pretty to look at, which helps on managing projects and tasks daily. Switched from [ClickUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/158833/ClickUp/) ClickUp was taking forever to release their 3.0 version. I think they announced a 2022 release but it was really released something like 1.5 year later. Version 2.X was getting very, very slow by each passing day. After trying Ora for about 2 weeks and getting satisfied with simplicity and speed, we agreed to make the switch, which we don't regret at all, still to this day.

Pros Ora is amazing for task management for our small business. With it, we are able to track multiple clients and various projects across each of them. Their time tracking is what we base our pay on. Cons I really like Ora, and do not have negatives to share. Alternatives considered [Slack](https://www.capterra.com/p/135003/Slack/) Reason for choosing Ora Cost, it was free for a small team when I got it. Review Source AS Alain S. Student Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Student review" May 6, 2019 4.0 Great Pros This a good alternative to Jira, and like it way more than Trello Cons It is not rare to have a few problems like null pointers or stuff like that in the code and jeopardize the work. Also, the time tracking system is create, but the view to add an entry is T E R R I B L E, sorry for that :P but as the Mac calendar for example, it would be better to let the user and the values before changing the others back and forth and just give a feedback if the "form" is valid and also, if you want to fix something, usually, the end of the tracking time should be right now as we will enter a task we just completed (Like when changing the time with the slider). Alternatives considered [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/)[YouTrack](https://www.capterra.com/p/123548/YouTrack/) Reason for choosing Ora School wasn't ok with Jira (as the head "teacher" estimated it was too much, even when they offered it for free for educational purpose) and for YouTrack, didn't have a good idea of the tool and its interface is also way less "friendly/sexy" as Ora Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Your data is at risk!" May 15, 2021 3.0 Everything was good for me until they removed with any further notice my users and data got removed. Pros Ora is a beautiful PM tool, easy to use and really improving slowly but consistently every year. Cons Your data is not safe there, I meant to have a paid account for 10 users, and suddenly 8 of them were removed from my account with zero warning or any previous notice. Ora is not a reliable platform, their billing system is messy and they really don't care to communicate with users if you need to upgrade or backup any information before they downgrade or simply delete your users. Alternatives considered [Nifty](https://www.capterra.com/p/172519/Nifty/) Reason for choosing Ora No, I stopped using Ora because their messaging features were lacking a channel for communication. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer The Spiritual Love Healer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "This is the best PM tool I've used!!" July 23, 2019 5.0 Pros It allows me to sync tasks to my calendar. There are lots of different settings and features that I can turn on like time tracking and creating milestones that are super helpful. It keeps me organized and I LOVE IT! Cons I think the only thing I could consider a con is that they don't have a mobile app available yet, but it's in the works. Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) I switched because they have the features I need included and their roadmap is quite exciting. I was able to purchase a lifetime deal which was a no brainer. Review Source cD christine D.

I also like the Knowledge base FAQs Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) more options in Ora. i like how you can also integrate other apps Review Source DC Dunia C. Content creator Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Ora, the little-known tool for project management" March 10, 2021 5.0 Ora is a cloud-based, next-generation project management and collaboration software platform powered by intelligent workflows. With Ora, you can easily organize and communicate all your projects, tasks and ideas. Ora is a simple, visual and easy-to-use project management software that makes work feel effortless. Its mobile application lacks the power of its competitors, but in the future it will surely gain in features. I recommend those looking for a new project manager to give Ora 3 a try. Pros Ora has an aesthetically appealing interface that is at the same time easy to use. With the new version, Ora 3, advanced functionalities are added that make Ora an all-in-one tool for project management. Ora 3 now includes live chat, video calls and voice messaging. Cons Occasionally I have experienced problems loading my files. Suddenly my files disappear and I have to reload the page to see them again. Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) Ora offers increased benefits in its free plan. Review Source DG Devon G. Admin Extraordinaire Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ora review" April 9, 2024 4.0 Pros Great task management system, simple but effect. Cons Because it is "newer" it does seem to have more bugs that need to get worked out but the team is very responsive when you report them. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Super easy project management tool." September 5, 2022 4.0 Our experience with Ora has been great but we needed a couple of missing features and more options for actual features. Pros The first thing about Ora is how easy it is. There is no learning curve and you can start using it right away without going over tutorials. Cons Updates are not as consistant as with other platforms. Some features were lacking or were not as developped as it should be. Alternatives considered [ClickUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/158833/ClickUp/) Reason for choosing Ora Costs.

The interface is quite nice. Cons I guess it's not fully developed yet.There has been several bugs this past few months. I has been causing problems with our work. Review Source Rachael Woolley -. Mindset and Health Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ora is a excellent for time saving and productivity" January 15, 2022 5.0 I absolutely love using Ora and it has really helped me with organisation and using time wisely. Pros I really like using Ora and having been straightforward for me to organise my time and tasks on a daily basis so I know what I am doing and in which order. There are so many options of how what to create whether lists, Kanban, project views, assignments and time tracking. It has really helped me identify where I use my time effectively and where I don't, so I can be more efficient. Cons It took me time to get used to using especially when organising projects because occasionally I have problems with moving the boards and tasks around. Review Source BM Beth M. Junior Assistant Planner Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for Weddings" April 4, 2024 4.0 Pros The ease of making projects and moving them into subtasks. Showing they are complete & sharing with other team members Cons It took me a while to get used to the hang of it with moving things from charts & folders but now it is easy Review Source FA Faith A. Technical Lead Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ora is great" April 10, 2024 5.0 Pros The functionality Ora packs is impressive. Task management, time tracking and recently added chat feature helps me and my team to be more productive. Cons The calling feature was buggy when first released. Review Source SS Silas S. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Bbest collaboration tool" December 8, 2021 5.0 Overall I love ORA. He helped my team be more organized and more timely when calculating time spent on a task, improving next sprints. Pros Time Tracking; easy to use, plus ready-made templates for every need Cons Needed more integration with other software.

Review Source JG Justin G. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "All the bits you want, minimal learning curve. Go straight to work!" July 14, 2017 4.0 Organization and time tracking! Pros I signed up for ora before it was released because I was trying to find something to keep me organized, keep track of time working on the various projects I have going on, and eventually collaborate with others on certain projects. I have used a lot of todo, time tracking, project management etc and some are great, some are horrible, and some are really good but are missing a piece. Basecamp for example is great. I love it for keeping everyone on the same page but it doesn't do the time tracking I wanted. The people at Ora seem to have gone through all the software I did and came to the same conclusion, close but not quite there. I started using it for a single project and am very happy with the deceptively simple platform. At first glance it looks like a clone of Trello, but hey, whats that on the end of this task? A time tracking button! What happens when you double click the list item? Notes, due dates, estimated completion time/goal, an audit trail of every interaction with the task and by whom, and several other useful options. While it may lack a little polish in the looks department at the moment, its pretty close and I'm very happy with it so far. Can't wait to see the polished up version! Cons The appearance could use a little more work. I love minimalism but it just needs a little more work with typography and overall look. Not being able to pick a custom background color without having a premium account is a little lame... Haven't really noticed any cons besides that. Review Source Nikki S. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A Project Management Tool that Checked All My Boxes" April 7, 2019 4.0 Ora has really helped me stay organized. Which is sortof funny, because I am an organized person by nature. But, now that I'm a solopreneur with a lot of projects going on, a tool like Ora is helping me keep my sanity. Because I can organize all my projects and tasks here, I feel I am being more productive with my work time. Pros Set up was very intuitive. I really appreciate the pre-made templates that come with it. They provided great ideas for how to setup my own projects. The time tracker has been a big plus for me, as well as the ability to report tracked time. The repeating tasks are very useful as well. Cons There is currently no phone app for this product. It is pending though, so, if that is done right, this tool will get full stars from me. The repeating tasks are not created right after the initial task completion, but on the day they are set to repeat. This took some getting used to, but I guess it works ok. Just not what I'm used to from other task applications. Review Source EM Emil M. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "One of the best project management tools I've seen" March 15, 2019 5.0 I have a small business with a lot of projects and it's difficult to be able to manage them and don't feel overwhelmed. On top of that, it's also difficult to know how much time every one of us spent on tasks and compare that with an estimate. We've tried so far Trello, Asana, Clickup, Freedcamp (premium), Timelinr and GitScrum. The free tier of Asana was the best for us out of all apps mentioned above, but it lacked the time tracking, the timeline feature and you just can't plan your day or week in Asana when you have many projects with a lot of tasks. We could have time tracking and timelines in Asana if we would pay for the Premium tier, but they just don't offer subscriptions for teams with less than 5 people. So when I've started testing Ora, suddenly I've got the impression that almost all my dreams about a project management tool became true. It's got almost everything I need, works very well, and I can afford the cost of using it. Pros It's easy to create projects and tasks Interchangeable List and Kanban view Timeline view The time estimating and tracking are awesomely implemented, it's a breeze to use them You can plan your week or day using the Agenda feature The interface is clean and nice The app works smooth There are apps for Mac and Windows Cons The speed of creating multiple tasks by pasting from a document in good, but could be better I would like to have to ability to apply multiple filters on the list of tasks in Agenda view and Reports Review Source BC Beverly C. Front-end Developer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "For small teams and simple projects" March 17, 2021 5.0 I liked how simple it was. Once our team grew however, it missed features for our team to be efficient. Pros The design is very intuitive. It's simple to use and to track tasks. It's fun to use, there are sounds (I would even say it's a bit gamified and visually, it's quite pleasing). For small projects, it's the perfect tool, it doesn't get too big and you have enough to work properly. Cons Some features are missing, it's not a complete tool like Jira. You can't use it effectively when your project gets too big and too many users are on it.
