According to a\u00a0Wellingtone-led survey<\/a>, only 37% of businesses mostly or always finish their projects on time, and even when they do, a 2015 study by Wrike<\/a> reported that only 64% of projects actually end up meeting their goals.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Furthermore, according to a\u00a0Harvard Business Review<\/a>\u00a0article, 1 in 6 projects goes over-budget by 200%. But perhaps most sobering is a\u00a0finding from Calleam Consulting<\/a>\u00a0that showed 17% of IT projects (nearly one in five!) fail so badly that they threaten the very existence of the company. While that statistic may seem high, it\u2019s one that\u00a0Levi Strauss and Hershey<\/a> have both faced and fortunately managed to live through, while Kmart also faced it and did not.Of course, the reasons for poor project performance can be quite diverse, but a few of the most\u00a0common ones,<\/a>\u00a0according to V.P. of Project Institute, Cynthia West, include: unclear goals, objectives, and priorities; a lack of understanding regarding team workload and resource management<\/a>; and poor communication between all levels of project interest and involvement.<\/p>\n

But the news isn\u2019t all doom and gloom; much to everyone\u2019s relief, the stats are improving. According to a 2017\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0from Project Management Institute,\u00a0\u201cFor the first time in five years, more projects are meeting original goals and business intent and being completed within budget\u201d.\u00a0It doesn\u2019t seem to be a coincidence that this rise in success rates aligns with better project management resources, and specifically, with wider use of project management software, which is intended to address the three obstacles outlined by West above.<\/p>\n

This correlation is supported by PWC\u2019s 2018 Project Success\u00a0Survey<\/a>, which found that 77% of high-performing projects now utilize project management software, and\u00a0Wrike<\/a>\u2019s finding that 87% of high-performing organizations have implemented it to make their operations run as smoothly and creatively as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span>Project Management Tools<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

1.\u00a0ASANA<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0One of the most widely-used and user-friendly platforms, you really can\u2019t go wrong with Asana. Concerned about communication, task and workflow management, or general productivity? Already have a project management methodology in mind? Or don\u2019t? Asana has solutions for you. Its strong emphasis on collaboration and communication makes Asana a particularly strong team project management tool.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0One of the aspects that many people love about Asana is also one of its weaknesses. By nature, Asana is quite flexible, which can be great as it gives you the freedom to customize how you use it according to your needs, but it can be a bit of a challenge at first when trying to set up, sort out, and establish its role in your workspace. It is also lacking on the resource management side of things, and does not have incorporated voice conferencing either.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Google, Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, NASA, AirBnB, Spotify, and The New Yorker, to name just a few (it really is the most popular kid in the Project Management Tools class)<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Asana\u2019s Basic package can be used by up to 15 people for free. The next step up, which is the Premium package, is $10.99USD\/user\/month, with the next jump hitting $24.99\/user\/month. It also has an Enterprise package, which requires a call to their sales team for a price quote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

2.\u00a0ACTIVECOLLAB<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Though not as well known as Asana, ActiveCollab is another very strong project management tool that actually has a wider range of features. Some particularly interesting and unique features it includes are: the option to self-host, the ability to allow clients access to the platform, as well as a strong collection of tools for invoicing and general expense tracking (which, although not unheard of, are still not standard practice) .<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:\u00a0<\/strong>Some users complain that the interface is unintuitive or looks out-of-date, but this seems to depend on the person, as other reviewers have the exact opposite opinion.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Apple, Ikea, Princeton, Microsoft, Nike, NASA (again\u2026apparently they double-dip when it comes to project management software) and Penguin Random House among others<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0ActiveCollab has only one tier for pricing, and it\u2019s quite a reasonable one at that. If committing to annual billing, it\u2019s only $6.25USD\/user\/month, while the monthly billing option is $7USD\/user\/month. They also have a 14-day free trial if you\u2019d like to try it out first.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

3.\u00a0AHA!<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Aha! specializes in product roadmap software and strategy development, but also has a wide variety of other project management tools that cater to most team needs. One feature that sets it apart is its particularly strong security settings. It may be one of the lesser-known project management tools, but it\u2019s a worthy contender nonetheless.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0Some users remark that it can have a bit of a steep learning curve, likely due to its wide range of offerings, and others say that even after some time getting used to it, it\u2019s not always the most intuitive platform. But perhaps its most significant downside is its very steep pricing \u2013 especially in relation to other, very similar, products on the market.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0AAA, Lush Cosmetics, LinkedIn, Siemens, Wiley Publishing<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Aha!\u2019s Base package is a whopping $59USD\/user\/month, with that bouncing up to $99USD\/user\/month for their Enterprise package, and lastly their Enterprise+ package topping off at $149USD\/user\/month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

4.\u00a0BASECAMP<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Despite its fairly narrow focus, mainly on collaboration and communication, Basecamp is often listed among the top project management tools. This is probably because, even though it doesn\u2019t do everything, what it does do it does very well. It\u2019s also known for being super user-friendly and having great customer service, as well as being one of the cheaper options on the market (for medium- and large-businesses at least).<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0As alluded to above, one of the main reasons Basecamp is such a simple project management tool is that it doesn\u2019t actually offer that many features. So there are less things to navigate through and confuse you, but you\u2019re missing out on what other platforms have to offer. Of course, if fostering and centralizing communication is your main objective, Basecamp might be exactly what you\u2019re looking for. However, it should also be noted that, while its unique pricing set-up makes it ridiculously cheap for medium-sized businesses and enterprises, it can be expensive if you\u2019re just starting out and won\u2019t need to sign-up many users.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Nike (again),\u00a0Adidas, Fox Sports, Twitter, NASA (who just can\u2019t seem to get enough of project management software, apparently), National Geographic, Kellogg\u2019s, Patagonia, and Etsy.<\/p>\n

Pricing:<\/strong>\u00a0Basecamp has a very straightforward $99USD\/month flat-rate, regardless of how many users. It also offers a 50% discount for charities and nonprofits, as well as a 30-day free trial option.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

5.\u00a0CELOXIS<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Celoxis seems to balance its set of features very well; it is quite comprehensive and has basically everything a medium or large business will need (and probably more than a small business will) without having so much that the platform becomes overwhelming or confusing.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0Can be a bit expensive for a small business, and its wide array of features would probably be overkill for these users.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Bombardier, Deloitte, HBO, and The Cheesecake Factory<\/p>\n

Pricing:<\/strong>\u00a0Celoxis requires a five-user commitment to sign-up, and then offers either a SaaS or one-time purchase option. If paying month-by-month, it costs $25USD\/user\/month (this rate is discounted to $22.50USD\/user\/month if you take yearly billing, and $21.25USD if you take the two-year option). Alternatively, the one-time price is $450USD per user.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

6.\u00a0CLARIZEN<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Clarizen is an all-in-one, end-to-end cloud based project management tool that, while perhaps not quite as well known as Asana or Basecamp, is still often listed with the best of them. Need a project planning tool? Maybe a project tracking tool? What about a resource management tool? Well, whatever you need, it\u2019s more than likely Clarizen has a solution for it.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/b>Like Celoxis, Clarizen is aimed at larger businesses and won\u2019t be an ideal solution for smaller agencies or SMBs. Furthermore, some users complain that the interface is a bit clunky, and that the platform can be a bit slow. It\u2019s also expensive in comparison to other very similar platforms.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0DeBeers, Western Union, Electronic Arts (EA Video Games)<\/p>\n

Pricing:<\/strong>\u00a0Clarizen starts at $45USD\/user\/month, and bounces up to $60USD\/user\/month for their Unlimited plan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

7.\u00a0CLICKUP<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strength:<\/strong>\u00a0ClickUp touts itself as \u201cOne tool to replace them all\u201d, and with its wide range of features, remarkably intuitive interface, user-friendly experience, and accessible price point, that might not be too far off. With excellent pricing options, ClickUp is an ideal platform for small and large businesses alike. Whether or not it\u2019s actually the one to replace them all, ClickUp does seem to be one of the best project management tools out there.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0To be honest, it\u2019s not easy to\u00a0find something wrong with this one. Depending on your preferences, you may find a few platforms have simpler task managing tools, however, ClickUp is also quite customizable, so with a bit of playing around, it\u2019s more than likely you can find a layout that you like.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Google, AirBnB, Nike, Samsung, Uber, and Netflix<\/p>\n

Pricing:<\/strong>\u00a0ClickUp has a \u201cFree Forever\u201d option that may be enough for start-ups and very small businesses. However, even once you start paying for features, no one\u2019s going to be breaking the bank; ClickUp charges just $5USD\/user\/month for their Unlimited package, $9USD for their Business package, and for their Enterprise package you\u2019ll need to contact their sales team. But the unique feature that really makes their pricing stand out (particularly for small businesses) is their \u201cLet\u2019s Make a Deal\u201d option, which allows potential clients to negotiate the price they pay for the Unlimited package, potentially meaning you\u2019ll pay less than $5 a month for their full set of features.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

8.\u00a0CONFLUENCE<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Confluence is a project management tool with a narrower range of features. Its main focus is collaboration, with the ability to share and edit documents as a team. It also boasts many customizable templates, task tracking tools, and solid organization tools for all of your documents.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0To be completely honest, there are a lot of project management tools that are rated more highly than Confluence. It\u2019s narrow scope limits its helpfulness, so if you\u2019re wanting an all-in-one platform, Confluence isn\u2019t it. However, it\u2019s made by the same people as Jira (which we\u2019ll get to further down) and the two are well-designed to integrate and complement one another\u2019s features. If going that route, then Confluence is worth considering.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Spotify, Audi, HubSpot, Lufthansa, Cancer Research UK, and NASA (who, by this point, has shown itself to be nothing less than a glutton for project management apps)<\/p>\n

Pricing:<\/strong>\u00a0Confluence has a free package that can be used by up to 10 users, or if you\u2019d like the standard package and still have 10 users or less, you can pay a flat-rate of $10USD\/month. Otherwise the Standard package is $5USD\/user\/month, and their Premium package is $10USD\/user\/month, but both of those prices decrease as you cross the 100 user mark and keep getting lower the higher you go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

9.\u00a0CLUBHOUSE<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Clubhouse seems to be another project management app that does a good job of straddling the line between simplicity and breadth of features. Furthermore, what it doesn\u2019t offer itself, it likely offers through its collection of possible integrations, allowing you to customize the platform according to your needs without having a bunch of extra features getting in your way. Clubhouse is particularly aimed at project management for software developers, but other teams will find it useful for their purposes as well.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0Clubhouse is specialized for Agile teams, which will likely be a big plus for many, but may not fit the style of everyone. Another con is that, while many integrations are available, Clubhouse doesn\u2019t have its own chat feature or meeting planner.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Deloitte, Conde Nast, Glossier, Nubank<\/p>\n

Pricing:<\/strong>\u00a0Clubhouse offers a free tier for up to 10 users, then charges $8.50USD\/user\/month for their Standard package (with a 14-day trial if that\u2019s your thing), and finally they have an Enterprise package that requires a call to their sales team to negotiate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

10.\u00a0EVERNOTE BUSINESS<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0You may already be familiar with Evernote, the note-taking app that took the world by storm about a decade ago. Evernote allows users to capture ideas, track projects, and organize their thoughts with an extremely user-friendly interface that many find boosts both their daily creativity and productivity. Evernote Business is basically that original app, but with collaborative features, as well as a few other project management solutions.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0Evernote Business functions well as a project management app for the desktop, but some of its features are limited on the mobile version. But the main problem is that its selection of features is too narrow for what it\u2019s charging. While there are integrations available, it probably makes more sense to go with a platform that already offers more, if more is what you\u2019ll need. If collaboration tools are all that you\u2019re hoping for, then there are still other platforms that offer similar services with a lighter price tag. But if you\u2019re a dedicated Evernote fan already, love the interface and would prefer the ease of sticking with what you know, Evernote Business may be a good option for you.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Whole Foods, Harvard Medical School, Abercrombie & Fitch, Square, NBC Universal<\/p>\n

Pricing:<\/strong> $14.99USD\/user\/month, with a minimum of two users<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

12.\u00a0FREEDCAMP<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0A consistently highly-rated platform, Freedcamp is known for its extremely user-friendly interface, as well as its extremely reasonable rates. These characteristics make it particularly suitable for small- to medium-sized businesses, though it\u2019s popular among larger enterprises as well. One feature that not all platforms have is the ability to white-label the platform for use with your own clients.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0There have been some mixed reviews on the mobile app, and this seems to reflect a trend of people finding tiny little bugs here and there in the interface. Fortunately, Freedcamp seems very quick to address such issues, but obviously it would be better if the issues never arose at all. Secondly, if you\u2019re particularly invested in the aesthetics of your interface, there may be better options for you. While Freedcamp is still well organized and thought-out, there are prettier interfaces out there if that matters to you.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Apple, AirBnB, PayPal, Google, Deloitte, Getty Images, CBS<\/p>\n

Pricing:<\/strong>\u00a0True to its name, Freedcamp offers a Free package, as well as Lite for $5.99USD\/month for the owner and $1.99USD\/month for each additional user, then $8.49USD\/month for each user at the Business tier. Annual pricing gets even cheaper and offers one extra tier at the top. It works out to $3.99USD\/month for the owner and $0.99USD\/month for each additional user on the Lite package, then $6.99USD\/user\/month on the Business package, and $19.99USD\/user\/month on the Enterprise plan. Freedcamp does offer discounts to businesses with over 30 users, as well as to educators and non-profits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

13.\u00a0FUNCTIONFOX<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0FunctionFox\u2019s tagline is \u201cStay Creative\u201d, and indeed creative professionals and freelancers are likely the ones who will love this timesheet and project management app the most. While it doesn\u2019t have every single feature in the book (no platform does), it does have pretty much everything a freelancer or creative professional would need, with handy little extras like a built-in timer for keeping track of both billable and non-billable hours. And, considering it\u2019s built for creatives, it unsurprisingly has a very aesthetically-pleasing interface.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0Of course, any project management software will have gaps for certain users. FunctionFox is fully armed for creative professionals, and for that reason, it\u2019s not as interested in catering to the needs of other specific industries when developing its feature set. Therefore, depending on what you want it for, it may not be well-suited to your needs.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Pfizer, Flight Centre Travel Group, Pattison<\/p>\n

Pricing:<\/strong>\u00a0For their Classic package, FunctionFox charges $35USD\/month for the first user, then $5USD\/month for every additional user. Their Premier tier is $50USD\/month for the first user, then $10USD\/user\/month after that. Finally, their In-House package, which takes care of a lot of the work for you, comes to $150USD\/month for the first user, then $20USD\/user\/month after that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

14.\u00a0G SUITE<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0At this point, it\u2019s likely that most of us have used some aspects of G Suite. Between Gmail, GoogleDocs, and GoogleCalendar, it goes without saying that Google has made its mark on the way we communicate, collaborate, and organize our work and personal lives today. For that reason, cloud-based project management tool G Suite can be a nice option to incorporate into your workplace; it\u2019s more than likely the learning curve won\u2019t be too dramatic for most of your employees, and you\u2019ll probably have fewer misunderstandings and technical issues caused by misuse of the platform.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0In some ways, some may actually argue against calling this a project management tool. Its main offering is its collaboration tools, as well as a bit of time management, but it is lacking many of the more powerful and commerce-specific features of the more popular project management apps. Furthermore, some people may not be sure about having an exclusively online project management tool, but as long as you don\u2019t mind having all your information stored on the cloud, for the average user this won\u2019t be an issue.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0There are probably more companies that use G Suite in some capacity than those that don\u2019t, but a few of the most notable include AirBnB, Netflix, Uber, Spotify, Dropbox, Pinterest, Twitter, and, unsurprisingly, Google<\/p>\n

Pricing:<\/strong>\u00a0G Suite starts at $6USD\/user\/month for Basic, $12USD\/user\/month for Business, and $25USD\/user\/month for Enterprise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

15.\u00a0GANTTPRO<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0GanttPro is a cloud-based project management app that is, unsurprisingly, structured on Gantt charts. If you and your business are already based on this approach, the interface will be extremely intuitive, and you\u2019ll have minimal downtime getting everyone used to the system. The app does have more to offer though; while not as full as some other options, GanttPro does have a well-rounded collection of the essentials to fit most business\u2019s needs. It also integrates well with Jira, which can be a good option if you\u2019re looking for a bit more than the app has to offer on its own.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0If you\u2019re not a big fan of GanttCharts, it would make more sense for you to choose a different platform. Furthermore, if there\u2019s a specific task that you\u2019re hoping for a tool to help with, GanttCharts may not have something for it, though it is worth checking out before you move on to another option.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Sony, HubSpot, DHL, Vodafone, and NASA (who we\u2019re glad to see again on the list. It\u2019s been a while and we were starting to get worried.)<\/p>\n

Pricing:<\/strong>\u00a0For one user, GanttPro has an Individual package that costs $15USD\/month. Their Team packages cost $7.90USD\/month for five users, $6.90USD\/month for 10 users, and $5.90USD\/month for 15 users. While it\u2019s a bit unclear what it costs for the number of users in-between or above those numbers, GanttPro also has the option of filling in a form to negotiate your price, as well as a 14-day free trial offer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

16.\u00a0HIVE<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0With a range of tools much wider than most of the biggest players in the field, Hive is a well-designed platform that will cover most of your bases and look good while doing it.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0The onboarding process seems to be a common complaint, with some finding it to be unintuitive, and others finding that it offers too many tools for their needs and just makes things confusing. However, once that hurdle is overcome, users seem to have few complaints.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Starbucks, Uber, The Economist, Google<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Hive charges either $16 or $12USD\/user\/month, depending on whether you take monthly or annual billing. However, they also have a handful of individually-priced add-ons including custom analytics, external users, enterprise security, and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

17.\u00a0INSIGHTLY<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Insightly specializes in sales, with a particularly strong set of customer relationship management solutions \u2013 some even targeted specifically for advertising, construction, and real estate firms. Its collection of native integrations make set-up a snap, and things don\u2019t get any more difficult once it\u2019s running either. While it does lean to the sales side of things, it does have some of the more general project management solutions, such as task management, collaboration tools, and more.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0It is approaching the expensive mark and some reviewers found that, while the app fulfilled their CRM needs, when they were relying on it for project management, the tools weren\u2019t as robust as they hoped they would be.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Bloomberg, AT&T, Bosch<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Insightly has a few different options for pricing, as well as customizable options, but it\u2019s Basic CRM package (which includes its project management tools) starts at $29USD\/user\/month for Plus, then goes to $49USD\/user\/month for Professional, and finally $99USD\/user\/month for Enterprise. They also offer a free trial option.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

18.\u00a0JIRA<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Jira\u2019s biggest strength might just be how flexible it is. It\u2019s made to fit any methodology, and boasts over 3000 apps that it will integrate with. While out-of-box it may be lacking a few features you\u2019d prefer, it\u2019s very likely you\u2019ll be able to find an integration to fulfill your needs.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0Some users may find the customization unnecessarily laborious and may prefer something that fills all needs as-is. Furthermore, a number of users have complained about Jira\u2019s customer service being slow and unhelpful.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Square, Ebay, Spotify, Cisco, AirBnB, Domino\u2019s<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Jira\u2019s pricing really depends on how many users are signed up. For the first 10, the monthly rate is $10USD\/user. Annual billing is $100USD\/user\/year. After 11 users, the price goes down to $7USD\/user\/month, and after 100 users it decreases further. Once you hit 5000 users, the cost goes down to just over $5\/user\/month. Annual billing brings the price down even more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

19.\u00a0LIQUIDPLANNER<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0LiquidPlanner seems to incite polarized opinions. Its devoted following enthusiastically declares it the very top choice for project management software (particularly for large businesses and enterprises), while just as many\u00a0 seem to feel decidedly \u201cmeh\u201d about it. While its most notable strengths are its intuitive and self-adjusting project planning tools and project tracking tools, LiquidPlanner\u2019s diverse range of solutions mean it will likely have your business covered with all the tools you need\u2026and all the ones you didn\u2019t know you did.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0LiquidPlanner is an extremely smart and sophisticated tool that provides personalized outlines for resource and time management, and it adjusts on the fly as things come up. But between the information that this requires you to enter in the setup process and the sheer amount of solutions it offers, onboarding does take a pretty good while. Additionally, if visual appeal matters to you, there are stronger options out there, and if you\u2019re hoping to use the app on your phone, LiquidPlanner\u2019s still-buggy and bare-bones mobile version may cause you some grief. Finally, LiquidPlanner can be expensive for small businesses, and may offer them more solutions than are necessary or applicable anyway.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0T Mobile, Airways New Zealand, Texas A&M University<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0LiquidPlanner offers a 14-day free trial, then has a Professional package for $45USD\/user\/month for a minimum of five users, and $69USD\/user\/month for their Enterprise package.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

20.\u00a0MAVENLINK<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0With tools for project management, task management, time management, collaboration, budget tracking, accounting, and resource management, Mavenlink has a well-rounded group of basics that would serve any business well. Higher up tiers even offer some very interesting and beneficial automated business intelligence tools that aren\u2019t completely unseen in other project management apps (such as LiquidPlanner above), but aren\u2019t something that is standard form either. And if there is anything that\u2019s missing, Mavenlink\u2019s many possible integrations allow you to customize a system that fits all your needs.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s approaching the expensive mark, especially once you make the jump past their basic package (which you may very well need to do to get access to many of their more helpful tools). They also don\u2019t have a mobile app, but rather a mobile-optimized site, which doesn\u2019t have consistently great reviews from users. Others complain that its interface is not always the most intuitive, and navigation can feel a bit clunky.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Coca-Cola, Credit Union, Salesforce<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Mavenlink\u2019s first tier starts at $19USD\/user\/month, jumping up to $39USD\/user\/month for its second tier. The final two tiers require a call to their sales team for negotiation. Mavenlink does offer a free trial, and word on the street is that there\u2019s a secret free tier that they don\u2019t really advertise. Furthermore, if you\u2019re a non-profit, you may qualify for a discount on their other plans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

21.\u00a0MONDAY.COM<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Monday.com stormed onto the scene in 2014 and wasted no time making its mark. Despite being one of the younger platforms out there today, Monday.com is found on many \u201cbest of\u201d lists, and it\u2019s not unusual to see it given the top spot. The reason is simple: it just checks all the boxes. Well-rounded selection of offerings? Check. Priced well? Check. Visually appealing? Check. Works well, runs smoothly? Check, check.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0Some may find the price a bit high, which it is, but for what is being offered it\u2019s actually not\u00a0too<\/i>\u00a0bad in comparison with others. However, Monday.com does lack some of the customization other tools provide, and, like all project management apps, there\u2019s always the possibility that the specific tool you\u2019re hoping for happens to be one of the few they decided to leave out (for now at least).<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Discovery Channel, Wix.com, Philips, Carlsburg<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Monday.com does have a free trial offer, and their Basic plan starts at $29USD\/user\/month. Their Standard plan goes up to $34USD\/user\/month, with Pro at $72\/user\/month. Finally they have an Enterprise option, which requires a call to their sales team for custom pricing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

22.\u00a0NOTION<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Notion is a note-taking app similar to Evernote and Evernote Business (depending on whether you use it individually or as a team), however it has a wider and more powerful selection of solutions. The app is a young one, and has made quite a few waves since its conception with many raving that it has revolutionized the way they do business. Its tagline says that it\u2019s an \u201cAll-in-one\u201d solution that will make the need for any other apps or integrations obsolete. It may be particularly helpful for individuals wanting to store all of their information in one spot, both in their personal and professional lives.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0Many laugh at Notion\u2019s \u201cAll-in-one\u201d claim, scoffing that there can never truly be a platform that fits all the needs of all users. Which is probably true, and is definitely something many will find with Notion \u2013 especially if you\u2019re hoping that your tool will provide anything much more than task management.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Probably because it\u2019s so conducive to individual growth, Notion cites a lot of high-up journalists, CEOs, and general big muckety-mucks as its users, rather than corporations and companies. This may be a telling indicator that Notion is actually a more effective tool when used in the lives of individuals, rather than in the operation of a big business.<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Notion offers a Free-Forever tier to everyone, and also offers their first paying tier to students and educators at no cost. For everyone else, their first paying tier, Personal, costs $4USD\/month, while the Team tier costs $8USD\/user\/month, and Enterprise costs $20USD\/user\/month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

23.\u00a0OFFICE TIMELINE<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Under the Microsoft Office umbrella, Office Timeline is actually a Powerpoint add-on that allows users to create\u2026wait for it\u2026timelines! Along with charts, roadmaps, and more. One of the top benefits is that the interface is extremely intuitive and the onboarding process is virtually nonexistent; just pop it on to your already-existing Microsoft package (as long as you have one) and your previous Office experience will basically be all you need to get up and running with Timeline. Furthermore, it allows for extremely smooth and simple exporting from other Microsoft programs, and integrates well with Wrike and Smartsheet. Yep, everything that Office does, it does really well, but\u2026<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0\u2026it doesn\u2019t do a whole lot. Nor does it aim to. If timelines, scheduling, roadmaps, projections, and Gantt charts are all that you\u2019re looking for, Office Timeline is a no-brainer. However, if you\u2019re looking for tools that foster collaboration and communication, or time and expense tracking, you\u2019ll either have to get a separate tool for that or just go for an altogether more comprehensive solution. It\u2019s also important to note that this is one of the few tools that more or less has to be installed on a Windows OS (sorry Mac users). While there is an online app that some Mac users manage to use in a pinch, many reviewers say the desktop version is far superior.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0If Microsoft started trying to list everyone who uses their Office Suite, we\u2019d be here all day.<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0There is a free add-on option, but for access to more features Office offers a Plus version with a $59USD annual licensing fee, or a Pro version with a $99USD annual licensing fee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

24.\u00a0OMNI GROUP<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Not necessarily the most-talked about project management tools (for a reason we\u2019ll discuss below), yet the Omni Group offer a very solid and highly-rated selection of project and team management apps. There are other options that offer the same amount of tools in an all-in-one solution, but the separate apps under the Omni Group umbrella allow users to pick and choose the tools that are right for them, potentially offering a more streamlined experience. The Omni Group is also one of the few project management platforms that offers their service in multiple languages right upfront, which is something that isn\u2019t always so clear with other project management apps.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0Contrary to Office Timeline, the Omni Group is available for Apple products\u2026and only Apple products. Oddly, it doesn\u2019t even offer cloud- or web-based options for each of the individual apps under the umbrella (some do, not all). And in case it wasn\u2019t clear already, it should be known that the Omni Group is a handful of separate project management apps including OmniFocus, OmniGraffle, OmniPlan, OmniOutliner, and OmniSync (the glue that holds it all together on multiple devices), so getting things all set up can be a bit confusing.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Omni doesn\u2019t seem to advertise any of its users anywhere. Having software made exclusively for Apple products could be a major limiting factor in who uses their products, and is definitely something to consider for anyone committing to their platform.<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Each app varies, with some offering a one-time license, others offering SaaS rates. This is another factor that can make the whole thing a bit confusing, actually.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

25.\u00a0PAYMO<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Paymo is a highly-rated, user-friendly project management app aimed at small- to medium- sized businesses and freelancers, offering tools for making reports, team communication, time and task management, scheduling, and overall project management. Like Omni, Paymo also makes it clear that it\u2019s available in 18 languages, and its design is quite visually appealing.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0Paymo does have some tools for finances, but it\u2019s lacking some that would be helpful for larger enterprises. But then again, Paymo is not really aiming for that market.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Adidas, Toyota, Stanford University, Mayo Clinic, Fujifilm<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Paymo offers a \u201cFree for Freelancers\u201d package that is available for one user, a Small Business tier that is either $9.56USD\/user\/month (billed annually) or $11.95USD\/user\/month (billed monthly), and a Business tier that is $15.16USD\/user\/month (billed annually) or $18.95USD\/user\/month (billed monthly).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

26.\u00a0PODIO<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Podio is a highly-rated, well-rounded project management app that will cover most or all the needs of businesses ranging from the smallest startup to much larger enterprises. Handy features like integrated chat aren\u2019t common practice with a lot of the most popular services, making Podio stand out in the field. A very reasonable price tag certainly doesn\u2019t hurt either.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0Customer support isn\u2019t amazing, and there are some potentially helpful task management tools that Podio is missing.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0NFL, Deloitte, Volvo, Time Warner Cable, Sony, Sotheby\u2019s International Realty<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Podio offers quite a bare-bones package for free for up to five employees, with Basic offered for $9USD\/user\/month, Plus for $14USD\/user\/month, and Premium for $24USD\/user\/month. When billed annually, those prices go down to $7.20USD\/user\/month, $11.20USD\/user\/month, and $19.20USD\/user\/month respectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

27.\u00a0PROJECTMANAGER.COM<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0ProjectManager.com is a cloud-based app with an extremely wide selection of online project planning tools, solutions for timeline planning and tracking, workflow management, task management, resource management, project tracking, project portfolio management, roadmapping, product management, OKRs, marketing, IT project management, collaboration, and budgeting and expense management. Feeling winded? Well, as one of the platforms closest to a truly all-in-one solution, ProjectManager.com\u2019s goal is actually to take away any feelings of being overwhelmed, and with its comprehensive and user-friendly interface, you may find it does just that. ProjectManager.com\u2019s many awards, rave reviews, and sheer volume of loyal customers seem to suggest this is generally the case.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0While there aren\u2019t many people that seem to have something bad to say about the platform itself, apparently the free trial offer is one that should be avoided. Quite a number of subscribers found the offer misleading and difficult to back out of, and many felt they had been scammed by the company with unexpected charges much sooner than they were expecting. It\u2019s too bad that this is giving the company a bad rap, and hopefully they fix this situation soon. Until then, it seems like it\u2019s a good idea to either fully commit to the platform right off the bat, or just decide to go with another option if you\u2019d like something you can try out first.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0NASA (back again!), Bank of America, Volvo, The United Nations, Bank of America, the United States Post Office<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Their Personal tier is $15USD\/user\/month, the Team tier is $20USD\/user\/month, and the Business tier goes up to $25USD\/user\/month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

28.\u00a0PROOFHUB<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Proofhub is a popular and well-designed project management tool that offers a nicely balanced set of features that is likely to cover most needs of various-sized businesses. Proofhub can be one of the cheapest options for medium and large businesses, and though it\u2019s not advertised on their website, small businesses and freelancers can email\u00a0support@proofhub.com<\/a>\u00a0to request a free version with a pared-down set of features.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0Proofhub\u2019s flat-rate pricing system is great for medium-sized and larger businesses, but can be a bit expensive for those just starting out.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Disney, Google, Netflix, Nike, Pinterest, TripAdvisor, and\u2026NASA (who\u2019s apparently come back to the list with a vengeance)<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Proofhub charges $45USD\/month for their Essential package when billed annually (this jumps to $50USD on monthly billing), and $89USD\/month for their Ultimate Control package when billed annually (or $99USD on monthly billing).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

29.\u00a0REDBOOTH<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Redbooth is a solid project management solution with great tools for facilitating communication and task management. It doesn\u2019t have the most tools of any platform on the market, but it does have a good roundup of the most foundational ones, as well as a few bonuses such as video conferencing, a feature many other apps leave out.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0However broken-recordy this may sound, by this point you know that no app will offer every tool needed by every business. In this case, if you\u2019re looking for budgeting tools, Redbooth is not the option for you. Some users may also find Redbooth\u2019s inflexibility around white-labelling the platform constricting, along with the limited customization options for usage.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Coca-Cola, NBC, Westfield, Amnesty International, Santander, Warner Bros, Cisco<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Redbooth does offer a 14-day free trial offer, and after that has a $9USD\/user\/month Pro plan, a $15USD\/user\/month Business plan, and an Enterprise plan that needs to be sorted out with their sales team. Those prices are on annual billing; when on monthly billing the prices increase to $12USD\/user\/month for Pro, and $18.75USD\/user\/month for Enterprise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

30.\u00a0REDMINE<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s free. Sorry, was that too abrupt? Well, it\u2019s true, Redmine\u2019s main advantage is that it\u2019s an open-source platform that\u2019s free to use for everyone. It is also super customizable and can be made to fit almost anyone\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0Set-up can be a bit technical, due to its flexibility. If technology tends to make you pull your hair out or dream of sailing away to a deserted island where you\u2019ll never look upon a screen again, Redmine is not for you. To make things worse Redmine has no official support team. If you hit a snag, you can refer to community-created docs, and probably find help on external communities like Reddit, but that doesn\u2019t necessarily come with the same dependability, guarantee, and timeliness that you can expect from commercial options.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Weebly, University of Oregon<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Free<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

31.\u00a0SAMEPAGE<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Samepage is a very well-priced (or free!) project management app that specializes in collaboration with a small handful of miscellaneous task management and other tools thrown in the mix. Setup and onboarding are fairly easy processes, and navigation of the platform is fairly simple too. Samepage can be cloud-based, installed on Mac or Windows desktops, or accessed through its mobile app.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0While Samepage does a great job of document storage and file sharing, and is fairly strong on the communication and general collaboration front, its features are very similar to a lot of other project management apps that do the job with a bit more depth. Samepage can\u2019t quite seem to decide if they want to be a jack-of-all-trades (which they\u2019re not \u2013 not even close), or just do one thing really well, so instead it\u00a0 ends up doing a small-to-reasonably-sized handful of things fairly-to-reasonably well.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, Western Carolina University<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Samepage\u2019s Free tier is nothing to shake a stick at, and may very well be enough for some start-ups and small businesses. It\u2019s next tier is priced at $8USD\/user\/month billed annually, or $9 when billed monthly. It\u2019s Enterprise package requires a call to the sales team for custom pricing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

32.\u00a0SCORO<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Scoro is a cloud-based project management app (with both iOS and Android apps) that aims to be an all-in-one solution for all your business needs\u2014 and, depending on your business, it may actually reach that goal. With its vast array of solutions, even if Scoro doesn\u2019t have exactly the features that you want , it will have something close that should get the job done.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0Due to its extensive nature, onboarding is both expensive and time-consuming, with Scoro admitting it can take anywhere from days to weeks. They do have a very hands-on support team to help you through the process, but it can still take a while to get your entire team onboard and using the platform comfortably.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Sotheby\u2019s<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Scoro does have a 14-day free trial, and then after that they have their Essentials package which starts at $26USD\/user\/month, their Work Hub and Sales Hub packages which each go for $37USD\/user\/month, and their Business Hub package at $61USD\/user\/month. Scoro also invites potential users to call in and customize the package of tools that best suits their needs, a solution that will also give you a customized price. One major thing to take note of however, is that Scoro\u2014 perhaps understandably\u2014 charges a hefty one-time onboarding fee; it starts at $899USD and goes up depending on your number of clients and the package.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

33.\u00a0SLACK<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Slack isn\u2019t playing games or pretending to be something it\u2019s not; Slack is 100% about communication and collaboration. And it does a pretty darn good job at it. For that reason it should really be considered a collaboration tool rather than a full-fledged project management tool, but its widespread contribution to the everyday happenings of today\u2019s workplace has been so pronounced that we still felt like it deserved a position on the list.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0In the communication and collaboration field, Slack\u2019s got things pretty well sorted. Of course, they\u2019re also unapologetic about not being an all-in-one business solution, so if that\u2019s what you\u2019re looking for, Slack may not be for you. However, you may find that even if you do find your (almost) all-in-one solution, you may want to integrate Slack or use it alongside whatever else you have. It\u2019s just that good.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Slack claims (and we don\u2019t doubt them) that 77% of the Fortune 100 uses their platform, with Time, BuzzFeed, Ebay, Target, Samsung, AirBnB, Ticketmaster, Conde Nast, and Pinterest being amongst some of its customers<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Slack has a free tier that may be enough for some small businesses and start-ups, a Standard tier for $6.67USD\/user\/month, and a Plus tier for $12.50USD\/user\/month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

34.\u00a0SMARTSHEET<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Smartsheet bases their project management and organizational tools fully on the use of spreadsheets. With quite an extensive collection of features, both standard and unique, this may be a strong option for you if you\u2019re used to Excel files and feel like it would be a smooth transition to using something similar for project management.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0Smartsheet can hold so much data that some users complain it can (perhaps understandably) be slow at times. Others complain that the interface is not intuitive, and customer support can occasionally be lacking. Finally, if spreadsheets stress you out, obviously this is not the right platform for you.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Cisco, Habitat for Humanity, Whirlpool, Colliers International, PayPal<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Smartsheet offers a 30-day free trial, then an Individual tier for $14USD\/user\/month, a\u00a0 Business tier for $25USD\/user\/month, and Enterprise and Premier tiers with customized pricing from the sales team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

35.\u00a0TAIGA<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Taiga is an open-source free project management tool (with a couple paid options) that has a passionate community of developers and users behind it. After being dissatisfied with the options out there, the developers came together to create a tool that improved on all of them. Whether they succeeded or not will be up to you.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0Perhaps because it\u2019s created by developers with both extensive tech and project management experience, it\u2019s not always the most intuitive for a beginner in either field. Furthermore, while it advertises its \u201cFree\u201d status pretty aggressively, the free tier is actually quite limited and most users will likely have to move up to a paying tier for the app to actually be of any use.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Taiga seems to have lots of developers among its customer base, but it is designed for use by teams of 50 or less, and that fact, combined with its open source nature (which generally communicates a less professional vibe) seems to have kept any major companies from committing to the platform. Taiga isn\u2019t advertising any, at least.<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0As mentioned already, Taiga has a Free tier, then a Premium tier at $7USD\/user\/month, and an Enterprise tier which requires a call to their sales team to negotiate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

36.\u00a0TEAMGANTT<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0TeamGantt is a consistently highly-rated project management tool that (no surprise here) is built around the use of Gantt charts. One of its best features is the quick setup and onboarding process \u2013 within an hour or two you can have your team up and running on the platform.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0TeamGantt\u2019s main weakness seems to be its collaboration and communication tools. It does allow Slack integration to fix the problem, but while we\u2019re on the subject of integrations, TeamGantt doesn\u2019t offer support for a whole lot of them. Fortunately, it does offer a decent (though somewhat specific) selection of tools right inside the app, so you may not find integrations are even necessary. That being said, it can be a bit pricey, so if you\u2019re going to shell out the cash and you\u2019re interested in a tool that\u2019s either more flexible or more comprehensive, you may want to look somewhere else.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Amazon, Netflix, Nike, Expedia, Disney<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0TeamGantt does offer a free tier, but it\u2019s quite limited. With their annual billing, their Standard Team costs $7.90USD\/user\/month (the way they have it on their website makes it look like it\u2019s a flat rate that fluctuates with the number of team members, which I guess is true, but if you work it out it comes to that price), and their Advanced Team costs $12.45USD\/user\/month. At monthly billing, the Standard Team costs $9.95USD\/user\/month, and the Advanced is $14.95USD\/user\/month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

37.\u00a0TEAMWEEK<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Teamweek is a medium-full project management tool, that probably has some offerings in each area you need covered, but may not have exactly the tool for the task you need or your methodology. It\u2019s very well-suited to small and medium businesses, and it\u2019s flat-rate pricing tiers make it one of the cheapest options on the market.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0As mentioned above, Teamweek is a bit limited in its tools. If you have a specific way of doing things that Teamweek just happens to fit, it could be a great (and really cheap!) tool for you. But if you have to force yourself to adjust to Teamweek\u2019s narrow and specific selection of offerings, you may just find it uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0AirBnB, Netflix, The New York Times, Disney, Microsoft, Adobe<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Teamweek does offer a free trial to anyone, as well as a Free-Forever tier for teams of up to five people. However, even small teams may find the features offered in the free version are too limited, so for that Teamweek has its paid offerings. Interestingly, Teamweek\u2019s tiers are structured by number of users, not features, so all paying members seem to get the same access to all the tools. For teams of up to 10 members (billed annually), Teamweek charges a $35USD\/month flat-rate (not per user), for teams of up to 20 people, that goes up to $71USD\/month, 40 people is $134USD\/month, and up to 100 people clocks in at $269USD\/month. Considering that\u2019s $2.69USD per person, Teamweek is definitely one of the cheapest options on the market. For teams over that size, Teamweek requires a call to their sales team. Note that, when billed monthly, those prices go up to $39USD\/month, $79USD\/month, $149USD\/month, and $299USD\/month respectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

38.\u00a0TEAMWORK PROJECTS<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Teamwork Projects falls under the wider Teamwork umbrella, which also includes Teamwork Desk for customer communication and support, Teamwork Spaces for a collaborative team workspace, Teamwork CRM to manage sales, and Teamwork Chat for team communication. Teamwork Projects specializes entirely in project management (with some tools for task management and workflow management). On its own, you may find Teamwork Projects a bit limited (unless just using it individually or wanting something exclusively for project management), but combined with the entire suite of Teamwork products, it can be quite a powerful solution to tackle all your business needs.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0As mentioned above, Teamwork Projects is quite narrow in its scope. The entire suite of Teamwork products is a powerful combination, but it can get quite expensive and a bit confusing using all of the apps together.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0PayPal, Ebay, Disney, Forbes, Microsoft Studios<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Teamwork Projects offers a free trial to anyone, and a Free Forever tier for up to five members. Their Pro tier costs $9USD\/user\/month, with Premium costing $15\/user\/month, and Enterprise requiring a call to their sales team. Remember though, this is just the Projects app; to add the rest of Teamwork\u2019s lineup to your toolbelt you\u2019ll have to pay for each separately.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

39.\u00a0TODOIST<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0If you didn\u2019t get this already, a slow reading of this app\u2019s name will probably give you the idea that it specializes in to-do lists \u2013 which would be correct! Todoist is another project management tool that doesn\u2019t try to be an all-in-one solution, but rather focuses on perfecting the tools that they do offer. While Todoist can be used by teams, many people find it particularly beneficial for managing their workload (and general life) individually.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0As mentioned above, what Todoist does, it does almost perfectly. It\u2019s super user-friendly, smooth and quick to use; however, what it does is fairly limited. It won\u2019t solve all your business woes, but it could be a great help in making you more individually productive on an average day.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Amazon, Facebook, Disney, Apple, and NASA (because of course)<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Todoist offers a free tier with all the same offerings as its paid packages, just some limits on how far they allow you to go with them. It\u2019s Premium tier is then listed at $3USD\/user\/month (which is the annual billing price. Though it\u2019s not super clear, they actually do allow monthly billing for $4\/month, but only on iOS and Android), and its Business tier, which is the one aimed at teams, is listed at $5USD\/user\/month when billed annually, or $6USD billed monthly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

40.\u00a0TRELLO<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0With a solid, but not overly extensive, selection of offerings, Trello is one of the most popular project management tools on the market. Known for being super user-friendly, having an almost non-existent learning curve, and offering many of the most-helpful tools of more comprehensive apps without being as overwhelming as they are.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0While Trello strikes a decent balance with how many tools it decides to offer, some users of more comprehensive apps will miss some of the tools that Trello leaves out. While its simplicity gets things up and running more quickly, and some users may find the everyday experience of using Trello more streamlined than many other apps, some may not feel the trade-off is worth it.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Kickstarter, Unicef, National Geographic, Google, Fender<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Trello offers a Free Forever tier, a Business Class tier for $9.99USD\/user\/month (when billed annually, monthly it\u2019s $12.50USD) and an Enterprise package that starts at $20.83USD\/user\/month for 20 team members, with that price decreasing as you add more to your team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

41.\u00a0VENDASTA TASK MANAGER<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Vendasta is a truly all-in-one business solution aimed at helping small- to medium-sized businesses succeed by taking all of the non-fun stuff off the table and doing it for them\u2026or at least making it as automated as possible. Task Manager does indeed help with (can you guess?) task management, but it is just one tool under the Vendasta umbrella; you are also offered reputation management tools, social marketing management, listing management, customer relationship management, an extensive collection of tools for sales, a client-facing dashboard\u2026I could go on and on, but you should really\u00a0just check it out for yourself<\/a>. Also worth noting is that, unlike some of the other \u201cumbrella groups\u201d on this list (Omni, Teamwork, Zoho), with Vendasta you don\u2019t have to purchase all the tools separately and Frankenstein them together; you can still completely customize your package, but with Vendasta you get the umbrella first and then get the opportunity to pull under whichever tools you\u2019d like with a simple click of the mouse. It\u2019s also fully white-labelled, so your customers don\u2019t even have to know they\u2019re using a tool that you didn\u2019t create yourself.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0If you\u2019re a small or medium business you\u2019ll actually have to go through a local marketing agency or media company to purchase their services. This is great news, however, if you happen to be a marketing agency, media company, or any other business that sells digital solutions to local businesses.\u00a0 Vendasta was developed specifically with the idea of creating a partnership with you, and it exists to make your life\u2014and the lives of your customers\u2014easier.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0It can be hard to know who works with Vendasta, as their nature of being white-labelled allows their partners to go completely incognito \u2013 which is exactly what Vendasta wants to give you the option of doing. However, even if they\u2019re careful about naming names, they do divulge that they have over 19,000 partners and over 2.2 million small- and medium-sized businesses functioning daily on their platform.<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0If you\u2019re a marketing agency, media company, or just someone interested in offering digital solutions,Vendasta offers a free tier, with Starter, Basic, Pro, and Enterprise plans following. You can see the entire pricing structure\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

42.\u00a0WORKZONE<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Workzone has been around for quite a while, and as a veteran of the project management software realm, they\u2019ve had a lot of time to perfect their offerings. Workflow management is their main focus, and while they don\u2019t offer a massive range of tools and may not be your business\u2019s one-stop shop, what they do offer is done really well and tends to leave customers pretty satisfied.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0Doesn\u2019t cater to followers of Agile methodologies, nor does it offer Kanban tools if that\u2019s your thing.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Allianz, Sephora, DKNY, Wells Fargo, World Wildlife Fund, Verizon<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Workzone doesn\u2019t list their prices and instead requires potential users to call their team to be matched with the best package and a customized price.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

43.\u00a0WRIKE<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Wrike is an app that covers bases you didn\u2019t even know existed. A platform with one of the widest ranges of tools, it\u2019s pretty likely that Wrike has some sort of offering that can help with any sore spots you\u2019re experiencing with your business. It\u2019s also quick and easy to set-up and remains just as simple to use once you have it going.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0Perhaps because they\u2019ve decided to go so wide, Wrike is lacking in depth in a lot of areas. While they do have billing and invoicing, if you were hoping for a tool to take care of all your financial management, you may need to supplement Wrike with something else. That being said, Wrike\u2019s range of offerings are still pretty impressive.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Google, Mars, L\u2019Oreal, Tiffany & Co., AirBnB, Verizon<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Wrike offers free trials of all tier levels, but they also offer a Free Forever tier for teams of up to five users. From there, they offer a Professional tier at $9.80USD\/user\/month, a Business tier at $24.80USD\/user\/month, and three tiers after\u00a0 that require a call to their sales team. It\u2019s also worth noting that Wrike charges exclusively on an annual basis, and don\u2019t seem to have a monthly option.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

44.\u00a0ZOHO PROJECTS<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Zoho Projects is part of the wider Zoho umbrella; yet unlike some (though not all) of the umbrella options above, Zoho Projects is a very well flushed-out app with tools for collaboration, sophisticated Gantt charts, issue tracking, productivity, project tracking, task management, time tracking, expense tracking, even gamification! HIghly-rated and exclusively cloud-based, Zoho Projects is especially excellent for small- to medium-sized businesses who may indeed find it fulfills all their needs in one platform.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0For reporting features, users will have to look to a separate tool under the Zoho umbrella: Zoho reports. This will require the payment of two separate subscriptions. Furthermore, some complain that the mobile app isn\u2019t great, and that the platform\u2019s learning curve can feel a bit steep.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Ikea, Intel, Netflix, Jaguar, Timex, NASCAR, Land Rover, Yale<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Zoho offers an Always Free option, and after that their tiers are determined both by the number of features offered, as well as by the number of users on your team. The good news is that you can get it for as low as $2USD\/user\/month. To see what option is best for your team and work out the pricing, visit\u00a0their pricing page.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

45.\u00a0ZOHO SPRINTS<\/a><\/h3>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Like its sister app, Zoho Projects, Zoho Sprints is a well-rounded collection of tools at a very reasonable price. The main difference is that Projects is designed for those following a traditional waterfall methodology, while Zoho Sprints is for those interested in agile project management and scrum tools. For that reason, while they are both under the Zoho umbrella, these tools weren\u2019t really designed for the purpose of complementing one another, but rather both are offered so that users can choose a tool that best fits their style.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0Zoho Sprints doesn\u2019t offer a lot of integrations to compensate for tools it doesn\u2019t include, though there are always the other Zoho options that do a pretty good job of rounding out everything you may need. Like Zoho Projects, it doesn\u2019t offer resource management, nor does it offer portfolio management.<\/p>\n

Well-known users:<\/strong>\u00a0Zoho is generally pretty low-key about who uses their platform (for Zoho Projects we had to do some digging). Zoho Sprints is one of their more recent releases, and came out a time when there were already a lot of other options on the market, yet while it is possible that there are no major global companies on their platform, it\u2019s more likely that there are and Zoho isn\u2019t interested in telling us who they are.<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>\u00a0Like Projects, Zoho Sprints fluctuates both by number of users, and with selection of features. However, just to give a baseline, Zoho Sprints can be used for less than $1USD\/user\/month! Of course that goes up with more features, but, nonetheless, at every level Zoho Sprints is a very reasonable option.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

CONCLUSION<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019ve made it all the way to the bottom, you may be wondering if such a long list was necessary; couldn\u2019t we just have named the best project management tool right off the bat and been done with it? The reason this can\u2019t be done is that there is no one best tool, but rather a whole bunch of really good ones that all suit differing needs and preferences. At this point, a good plan of action is to choose the top 5 that really stood out to you, check out their websites, read some customer reviews, and from there you can make the best choice for you and for your business.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, you may have noticed that many of today\u2019s biggest companies appear multiple times on this list, and while occasionally this surely means different teams under these company banners are using different tools, it\u2019s also probable that some are using multiple tools in tandem. This is an option you can consider as well.<\/p>\n

But along with this, it\u2019s also worth noting just how many top global companies appeared on the list full stop. Supporting the statistics shared at the beginning, it seems that success and proactive project management tools and methodologies truly do go hand-in-hand. So whichever tool you choose, you can rest assured that simply making the step towards a thoughtful project management solution is almost guaranteed to boost your company\u2019s productivity, creativity, and long-term success.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
