Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Clean, Simple, and Easy to Adopt" January 8, 2026 5.0 Overall, Nifty delivers a smooth and reliable project management experience. It strikes a nice balance between structure and simplicity, making it a great option for teams that want clarity, collaboration, and momentum without unnecessary complexity. Pros The interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy for teams to get started quickly. Tasks, timelines, and conversations live in one place, which reduces tool switching and keeps projects organized without feeling overwhelming. Cons Reporting and advanced customization are fairly limited. For very complex projects or data-heavy teams, it may feel a bit lightweight compared to more enterprise-focused tools. Review Source RS Rachel S. Director, Fiscal Sponsorship Program Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ideal partner for clunky, growing nonprofit adopting PM tools" January 21, 2026 5.0 We were a very high maintenance client for several years, needing a lot of support from the Nifty team, Sky in particular. Our use case is somewhat atypical, so many of the project and template buildouts have needed significant adaptation. The Nifty team has always been extremely supportive, responsive, and clear. We have identified many bugs and gaps over the years as we've grown with Nifty, and they've always resolved them quickly, or given us workarounds if they aren't prioritizing that fix at the moment. Pros I have a complex organizational structure with 300 employees, many volunteers and contractors, and over 65 departments, all of which need privacy between and among portfolios, but easy transfer of tasks and files between projects and portfolios. When selecting Nifty in 2020, we found that it was the only project management software that met all of our security and privacy needs. Because of this, I'm able for the first time to get a big picture of the activity and progress of all of my teams. Cons The learning curve, particularly for less tech savvy employees, has been quite high, and at times prohibitive for adoption. Adoption for stragglers has therefore taken 5+ years. However, those who do adopt it use it really consistently, and I'm able to manage those projects with essentially full visibility.

CEO Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Think well before you buy " July 28, 2022 3.0 Unfortunately the app looks promising but the overall experience wasted a lot of my time and main reason because of customer support. Pros the user interface is friendly and you can understand it quickly Cons 1-Their database management and recording user data, for example, have an issue of duplication, and if you created a workspace and then deleted you will not be able to use this name again and the nifty system will keep sending you notifications about It like it still exists. 2-Customer support is not professional and most of the time they take around 4-5 days to reply to your questions. This is the main reason I left the App. Alternatives considered [Flowlu](https://www.capterra.com/p/166656/FLowlu/) Reason for choosing Nifty I choose it because of the reviews and comments on app sumo but actually, it was misleading Switched from [Flowlu](https://www.capterra.com/p/166656/FLowlu/) The App Really Great and have a lot of options that can manage your work and give your real value for your money. Review Source RC Robert C. Chief Executive Officer Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Powerful Task Management Platform, Backed by a Responsive Team" January 8, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Nifty has been very positive, and it’s become a dependable backbone for how we plan and execute work in the business. We still use other tools, but Nifty is where we organize tasks, track progress, share files around specific projects, and keep team communication focused. Once we got past the initial setup and learning curve, it actually reduced confusion and made it easier for everyone to know what they should be working on. The team behind Nifty is responsive, ships regular updates, and has been quick to address questions or suggestions, which gives me confidence to keep expanding how we use it. Pros I run a small business with a lot of moving parts, and Nifty has become the main place where we track tasks, deadlines, and goals throughout the year. The task management is flexible enough to handle everything from one-off to recurring work, and it’s easy to see who owns what and what’s falling behind. The built-in chat and comments help keep conversations tied to tasks instead of lost in email threads, and file sharing inside projects makes it simple to attach the right documents where they’re needed. I also appreciate that they take security seriously and continually improve the platform without bloating it with gimmicks, which makes it very good value for the money. Cons The main drawback is the learning curve, simply because there are so many ways to set things up and so many features to discover. It took some time to design a workspace that fit how my small team actually works day to day. My biggest early frustration was with Nifty Docs, which felt basic compared to the rest of the platform and lacked version control and document locking, so I chose not to use them much. I shared that feedback with their team, and they’re working on adding those features now, which should make Docs much more useful for things like listing notes and internal procedures that I want to protect.

Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) Nifty gave me more robust task and workflow management, built‑in communication, and better organization without feeling overwhelming once I got through the initial setup. Review Source CP Chris P. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### ""Nifty" barely covers how awesome this is!" February 4, 2026 5.0 Overall, I love Nifty and so do my clients. My clients really enjopy being able to log in and see the progress of the projects and to be able to communicate with me on any portion of the system, be it a task, general chats, or a file. Pros The ease of use and features set. Nifty has a lot of advanced features, but the way they're implemented makes it easy to master them quickly. Cons At first it was the Milestones. I couldn't get them to work for me the way I thought they should, but once I learned the way Nifty has set them up to be used, they started clicking for me. Switched from [Things](https://www.capterra.com/p/119096/Things/) It didn't offer layouts for tasks and collaboration the way I needed. Review Source JN Jo N. Cofounder and CEO Environmental Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nifty is an economical and functional PM platform for large or small teams!" January 9, 2026 5.0 Overall I've been happy with the Nifty implementation - we have been using it since my company started 6 years ago and we haven't considered switching platforms. Pros As a startup founder with a small team that moves fast, I love Nifty's all-in-one approach for team and project management. It is much less expensive but more functional than other PM solutions. Cons I wish it had reply functionality in the chat, and that GIFs and emoji reactions worked better in the mobile version. Alternatives considered [ClickUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/158833/ClickUp/) Reason for choosing Nifty ClickUp was too expensive and didn't have any better functionality than Nifty Review Source JT Jonathan T. Founder, Owener Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "They Picked the Right Name!" January 9, 2026 5.0 Overall, I'm a big fan of Nifty. I previously used Ora and LOVE it, but they were acquired and will be shutting down soon, so I switched. I tried other platforms (Monday, ClickUp, etc) but Nifty just \*works\* with the way my brain is organized. Pros One thing I like most about Nifty is how it combines so many tools right in one. And I can even embed other tools to further extend what it can do. Cons One thing I \*don't\* like is that I can only have one tab of a project open at at time - for example, if I need to get info from a Doc, I have to click over to Docs, but then to update a Todo, I have to leave the Doc and open the Todos. Alternatives considered [monday AI Work Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/)[ClickUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/158833/ClickUp/) Reason for choosing Nifty The way nifty works just fits the way I think better. Review Source SP Saul P. Integrator Printing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent internaol communication" February 12, 2026 5.0 A complete solution from the moment you acquire the program; we complete tasks on time with less effort. Pros The platform has everything I need to manage my clients; every purchase, every order, every project is handled ingeniously with excellent internal communication results to deliver a good product to our clients. Cons Exporting customized reports. I need to check the new version, but I couldn't do it with the previous one. Review Source SW Stacey W. Publicist Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Nifty gets project management right" January 13, 2026 5.0 Overall, Nifty has helped me manage large projects that I wouldn't be able to handle without the app. I'm able to scale with little effort so I'm very happy with the software. Pros I'm a fractional marketing consultant. I've been using Nifty for about two years now. The best thing about the software is that I can create complex project management projects with it and share the projects with clients. It's so simple to use that I don't have to teach clients how to work with me within the software. It makes team communication a cinch. That alone makes it worth the money. Cons Nifty is a powerful tool but the mobile app could be better. Other than that, I don't have any complaints about Nifty. Review Source Ashley M. Senior IT Director Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly useful for Project Management." April 9, 2025 5.0 Nifty functions as a comprehensive solution that centralizes task management, project development tracking, and our teams' communication, all within a single workspace. It allows our teams to adapt to different work methodologies, including Scrum and Kanban, through visual boards that can be customized according to project needs. Additionally, it offers Gantt charts for detailed sprint planning and software development lifecycle. Pros Nifty combines task management, project tracking, and communication tools in one place. It supports methodologies such as Scrum and Kanban with customizable boards. Gantt charts for sprint planning and software development. Cons I have not identified any disadvantages in using this platform. Review Source SJ Stefanny J. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Good product" May 30, 2025 5.0 It has been a great experience. The free version allows you to do plenty of tasks before you decide to buy, which is a good feature of this application. Pros Nifty helped me organize a construction project that I worked on and helped me visualize the main milestone and tasks associated with it. During my experience, I used most of the tools in the free version, which was complete. The paid versions allow you to add more features to complement your management. Cons At the time I used it, I found it hard to have a macro view of all the tasks, meaning I had to make some tricks in order to get what I wanted, and also had to check some extra videos for that. Alternatives considered [ClickUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/158833/ClickUp/) Reason for choosing Nifty The price was more affordable, and both had similar characteristics. Review Source SR Skyler R. Executive Director Online Media Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Kanban Nifty is Next Level" October 18, 2024 5.0 I moved to Nifty when Trello changed its pricing and I have loved it! I have a large team with many remote volunteers so Nifty provides the perfect platform to keep all of their work organized. Pros I love that I have the options for kanban style boards. I find those so easy to use and organize my projects. I also love that I can invite unlimited members at no extra cost. Cons I don't like the fact that on mobile you cannot drag the cards to the next board like you can on desktop. Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) Trello changed its pricing making the product no longer affordable or free to my large team. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Project Management tool and Team collobration" July 2, 2024 4.0 Over all its good experience but today there are lots of tools in market which is better then this. but i got lifetime deal at $600 so that is plus point that i am still using it. Pros There are lots of good project management tool but the main problem is chat with team and project management, nifty has both in one place. so its best tool at the moment when i buy it. Cons there are still lots if issues, bugs, and system downtime also notification is not working properly. so they need to improve it. Switched from [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/) I got lifetime deal and nifty has both of things like project management and chat. so i switch. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Better than most out of the gate" October 16, 2020 4.0 Pros This is the easiest-on-the-eyes, most intuitive PM platform we've tried or used (especially compared to Asana and Notion). Document storage, creation, and management is a breeze. Uploading large numbers of files is lightning fast, and document navigation is super easy. Task management has deep capacity. Onboarding has been a snap compared to other platforms. Devs have built in heavy emphasis on real-time communication and collaboration. Support is super responsive. They have a very active development schedule. Nifty will replace Asana, Slack, and Dropbox Paper for us. Cons There is no native print function anywhere. All uploaded files and files created in Nifty have to be downloaded in order to print. This presents companies with an added security issue. In the Files section, pdfs are uploaded as images, so even if you download to print, you just have a png. The Share function for Files only shares to people on your team or onboarded guests. All kinds of system notifications show up in the Discussion streams and there's no way to delete them. The functionality of the Discussions widget is less than the functionality when you click through and expand the Discussions to a full window. So, for instance, you cannot pin a discussion from the widget. This is the least intuitive thing about the app. Alternatives considered [Notion](https://www.capterra.com/p/186596/Notion/) Reason for choosing Nifty Notion has terrible task management and onboarding is a nightmare due to the complexity of the platform. We looked at a lot of other platforms and none of them had the kind of document creation and management that we are looking for. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Creative Director Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Feature-packed yet simple to use" February 21, 2023 5.0 A pleasure to work with, and something we rely on daily for our workflow. Pros The app has everything you need to manage a suite of projects from different clients in an interface that just makes sense. And constant updates being new exciting features often. Cons Automations are great, but there are some simple things that should be improved like the ability to remove dates Alternatives considered [ClickUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/158833/ClickUp/) Reason for choosing Nifty Simpler, faster, and easier to use Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) Nifty supported the next level in our growth. Review Source Chandan M. Marketing Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Probably the best project management tools I have used in past few years!" February 23, 2023 5.0 I have used tools like trello and clickup! But Nifty is like an all-rounder. It's very simplified for all type of users and is very very helpful. Pros 1\. Blazing fast2. Desktop and mobile app3. Usability4. UI5. Great features6. Simplicity7. Real-time notifiation Cons No default task reminders. Other than that, I thinks it's very useful and compact. Alternatives considered [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/)[ClickUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/158833/ClickUp/) Reason for choosing Nifty Nifty has more features in lesser pricing point Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/)[ClickUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/158833/ClickUp/) Usability and pricing of the product.

UX Designer Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Nifty - Team Collaboration Made Simple" March 31, 2025 4.0 Overall I found that Nifty is a must-have tool for project management. The ease of staying on track with time and priority focus is second to none. I find that the milestone tracker keeps the stakeholders happy. Pros The functionality is superb. It is also very productive as it integrates well with third-party tools like Slack. The ability to collaborate on documents inside the platform is key for teams. I love the integrated AI. Cons There was not much to dislike concerning Nifty, yet it has been a small concern when running into bugs or issues with file recovery. Review Source FS Francis S. Assistant Professor Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the best scheduling tools for project management: Nifty" February 19, 2022 5.0 I turned on MFA for accessing Nifty account. I used Google Authenticator as the MFA app. When I changed the iPhone from iPhone 12 to iPhone 13 ProMax, the data was transferred from iPhone 12 to iPhone 13 ProMax successfully. Unfortunately, the data in the Google Authenticator, which includes the NiftyPM credential, cannot be recovered. Therefore, I ask Nifty for help. Your Nifty staff immediately caught my problems and report to engineers to see if the MFA can be reset. Well, although the waiting time is long, the problem finally got solved happily. Pros Nifty is one of the most sophisticated platforms which can be used for group collaboration. Online essential activities of projects can be effectively delivered, monitored, and control in Nifty. Nifty's progress bar is fantastic. The project members would be able to communicate instantly. The UX and UI designs of the platform are incredibly amazing. When any users faced any difficulties, the Nifty team always offered the communication channel for us so as to reach Nifty staff for any quick help. Cons Nifty has done an excellent job in developing the software tools. Not much thing to complaint here. What I dislike is that there is not online tutorials or documentations (even no user manual). With the manual, it helped the efficiency of the delivering the projects. I have to spend time and effort to learn how the Nifty works. I have a group of undergraduates and postgraduates who would like to try Nifty. Any training materials, or video samples (not the youtube), can be sold or gave to the Nifty Fan like myself. Anyway, offering the tools or add-on for reporting functions will be great.

February 21, 2023 5.0 I am overall satisfied with the software and will likely never use another as long as Nifty is in business. Pros I like that it is robust and feature packed but still really accesible and userfirendly. Cons I wish there was an easier way to familiarize yourself with all the software can do without reading documentation. Review Source JS Jenn S. Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nifty is a huge help with all our teams projects" February 21, 2023 5.0 Pros I think the Nifty tasks are our teams favorite feature. we love the fact that we can add tasks and sub tasks and assign each task to any team member so we all stay in the loop and have all our tasks organized so nothing goes undone or through any cracks. Cons sometimes i dont hear notifications on my mac, I think it might be a setting that I have messed with in the past so not sure if its nifty or me, this is my only issue with nifty but to be honest i dont know if its nifty or me I have to look into this to make sure. but overall we love nifty and dont know what we'd do with out Nifty.

Pros It's really easy to use and understandTeamwork is always searching for how to improve the tool and they are willing to help you with any difficulty Cons As a fairly new software, they are still polishing certain aspects, and need integrations with other tools, but the potential is HUGE, they were born really big and we can't wait to see them develop this tool Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) Potential evolution and lower cost Review Source BM Bharathi M. Client Relations Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Nifty - All in one tool for best project Management" February 22, 2023 5.0 Comparing to the other communication products Nifty supports our business to work as a team Pros The product is very easy to use. Each features like Tasks, Documents are very much helpful. Cons Table format alignment is not proper in Documents tab. Alternatives considered [Rock RMS](https://www.capterra.com/p/141654/Rock-RMS/) Reason for choosing Nifty Easy to use, Best Documenting system Review Source SD Sebastyen D. IT Director Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Nifty is the unsung hero of the project management tools" February 21, 2023 5.0 I used this product for my personal company but since I introduced Nifty at my job, my colleagues really like it. And since the product greatly evolved in the past, I guess it will be more and more an important player in the PM cloud apps. I still don't know why Nifty is ignored in most of the PM software list on the internet. It is more complete and thorough than most of the software on the list without the cost. Pros I really like this product for his integration of multiple tools, allowing us to work directly in the project. The UX and UI is excellent, they are also implementing new stuff regularly and the guest access is very generous compared to similar tools. Cons Lack of reporting or at least a way to build custom reports in the app, lack of a proper Gantt view can be an issue for some. Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) More features and the price tag Review Source Brandon M. Creative Strategist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Global Project Management At Speed & Scale" February 22, 2023 5.0 While this is my developers chosen platform, and I didn't like it at first, I now see the power of Nifty and like it very much and have started to implement this for organizing many of my projects. Pros Nifty can manage my group of developers worldwide and in the country, eliminating the need to use many other heavy and clunky services, like Slack, which keeps everything organized and in flow. The Gantt charting helps see the progression of projects moving through the pipeline. Cons Notifications are weak; they still, to this date, do not send email notification updates even though that setting has been turned on. No updates or notifications popped up until I downloaded the iPhone app, which I shouldn't need another phone app to work on a desktop, but somehow, once I downloaded the app, at least notifications started popping up on Chrome Desktop. And yes, the notification settings were already turned on in Chrome, so something was blocking the delivery of notifications, which are necessary for delivery timing. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Content Writer Online Media Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great project management software" February 21, 2023 5.0 Pros I've been using Nifty for several months now, and it has quickly become my go-to project management tool. The interface is intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy to navigate and use even for those who are not familiar with project management software.One of the things I love about Nifty is the ability to manage projects, tasks, and team communication all in one place. The team chat feature is particularly helpful for keeping everyone in the loop, and the comments section on each task allows for easy collaboration and feedback.Another great feature of Nifty is the ability to track project progress through the use of milestones and the project overview page. This helps keep me on track and ensures that nothing falls through the cracks.Additionally, Nifty integrates with a number of other tools, such as Google Drive, which makes it even more versatile and useful for my workflow. Cons While Nifty is a great project management app, there are a few drawbacks to consider. Here are a couple:Limited customization: While the interface of Nifty is easy to navigate and use, there is limited customization available for users. This can be a drawback for teams or individuals who have specific needs or preferences when it comes to organizing their tasks and projects.Pricing structure: Nifty's pricing structure can be a bit steep, especially for small businesses or individuals who may not need all of the features offered in the higher tiers. The free plan is quite limited in terms of the number of projects and users allowed, so it may not be suitable for larger teams or those with more complex workflows.
