ActiveCollab Pricing Overview

ActiveCollab is about the only high quality workflow product that doesn't charge per user. It has a clean no-nonsense UI that is easy to stare at and use. Project, to-do's, and team management are intuitive and flexible enough to mend to all types of products and team organizations. It has customer facing views/logins, a time-tracking app, and an ever increasing amount of other integrations like Slack or Quickbooks. It is the best bang for the buck as far as workflows and project management is concerned and if you're willing to deal with a few of its fundamental quirks, you can shed a number of other apps you may be using.

ActiveCollab seems a little confused as far as being an all inclusive software that fundamentally lacks features other project management (or time management) softwares have. I wish ActiveCollab had a chat feature (although it does interact with Slack) and the time management only allows a user to time track on to-do's that they're assigned (although in the backend in the software, anyone can add a time entry to any task). Likewise there's no simple way to look at all of your projects and see them labeled by client (you have have to click a drop down tab and sort everything you'll ever need to see in a more focussed view). Reporting works similarly- there's not an easy way to create your own report (although you can save certain parameters within pre-determined reports). Some info on the reports are only viewable by downloading .csv, not in the actual app. There seems to be a few easy intuitive features like those that were dropped, or were half thought through when implemented.

We have solved the yearn for an inclusive project management system that stores time entries, allows multiple contractors and clients access, has some sort of customizable reporting, and on top of all of that looks good. It's pretty much in a league and price range of its own, and I think with a few minor additions could be the best project and workflow management software out there. It has allowed us to easily track projects, rates, budgets, and time entries in one place for us and our clients to see. I'm always surprised ActiveCollab isn't much much bigger than it is.

Simple and affordable pricing makes Active Collab a must-see tool for any small business owner. With all the strength and functionality of Basecamp for a fraction of the cost, this tool can quickly become the cornerstone of any business.

Active Collab has generally decided that marketing to the possible end-user is more important than providing their paying customers with a service that promotes their business. Active Collab has no customization options for the look and feel of the platform. If you are going to use the platform to communicate with your own customers, be aware that they will be receiving emails from active collab, with active collab branding, with only a slight mention of you and your company.

With Active Collab, my teams have really been able to get on the same page. It is fabulous for back end collaboration.

- interface is slick and intuitive - notifications - organization of tasks it more intuitive than with other software

- They had a software you could install on your own server. We had trouble installing it a couple of times. If you use the cloud version, this should not be an issue

I have been working with aC for 7 years now and am very satisfied. We feel like it is just a fair deal. They don't lock you into a pricey model and it has all the functionality of a good PM system. I use it for my next businesses as well

The cost is pretty competitive and does 90% of what we need on a daily basis. Once you get projects set up and people assigned, it's quite easy to quickly set up new tasks within the project and streamline a basic process for management.

I'd like to see more filter options and visual options. We moved over from a folder based system which just had a lot more options when it came to viewing tasks and folders within a project. The folders also let us give access to certain people in a hierarchy system. Right now, when I open a project I'm presented with a long list of tasks that can sometimes feel very overwhelming.

Basic projects for already quite structured timelines. It's great for using with simple projects that don't require a lot of on the fly changes and deviations from the original scope.

We migrated to Active Collab abount 2 months ago after attempting to work with Basecamp, Trello, and NutCache. The combination of project management, team+client collaboration, time tracking, expense tracking, and project templates, API, and accounting add-on integrations made this hard to beat. The UX is also the best that we've come across.

We haven't found anything significant that we would improve about it so far. The integration could be tighter more extensive with platforms like Xero, but its more than other providers are doing, and the API makes up for it.

This is allowing us to manage software, mobile, and web application development projects with team of developers which very mixed experience. The ability to create templates has been invaluable. Permission management, and client or client+ users has been really helpful. Tracking time and expenses, project goals, tasks, and deadlines has been invaluable. The platform is really well thought and UX is WAY better than everything else we've tried. The mobile app could use some work but its on its way.

There is no reoccurring cost. It is easy to use and feature rich

I wish the one time cost, $500, was little less. Also I wish it integrated with other services & software

Managing client projects and invoices. Benefit is an all-in-one solution for client management.

Great tool, its interface is simple, practical and easy to see. In addition, I love how projects can be displayed and searched, and it also has multiple features that make it irreplaceable. It covers the integration of the calendar, task management, expense and time tracking, customer estimates and billing. integrated, discussions with customers are organized and organized at all times. And what I like most is its customization function.

ActiveCollab is undoubtedly a great tool, however its mobile version is not what we expect, some of its tools are slow and sometimes it does not perform what I want, but in general the computer version has worked very well.

In our organization we use it for our traditional and digital services, but also as a project management tool. For our digital services, we use it to manage agile workflows along with task management and the timeline. ActiveCollab helps us to execute the daily operations of our company and our clients. This great platform has helped us keep track of everything we do and where any project is in your timeline. It is a great tool for our entire team.

retainer-based clients where they are paying a fixed monthly fee for our services.

when user change devices, or reinstall, recovery password is complicate

I would recommend Active Collab to any agency looking for a good overall project management tool.
