Freedcamp vs Plaky

Freedcamp

• Teams that want a free plan with no limit on users or projects
• Small businesses wanting tasks, time tracking, CRM and invoicing in one tool
• Teams working with clients, since read-only and guest users are free on paid plans

Plaky

• Teams that want a free plan with no limit on users
• Companies that already use Clockify or Pumble
• Small businesses that track projects on simple boards

Freedcamp

• Gantt chart view, custom fields, custom statuses, Wiki, Issue Tracker, CRM, Invoices+ and reports all need the Business plan.
• The Free plan has no email-in, cloud-drive links, recurring tasks or two-factor authentication, and limits each upload to 10 MB.
• SAML single sign-on and white labeling are Enterprise only, and a private cloud instance costs a fixed extra yearly fee.
• Unlimited storage on every plan is subject to a fair usage policy.

Plaky

• The Free plan allows 6 fields per board, keeps a 7-day activity log and has no Gantt view, automations or private boards.
• Automations are capped at 1,000 actions a month on Pro; unlimited actions, board permissions and single sign-on need Enterprise.
• Every active or invited user on a paid plan takes a seat, and the vendor states that it does not offer refunds.
• The apps page lists a web app plus iOS and Android apps, with no desktop app.

Freedcamp

Tasks in several views

Tasks can be shown as Kanban cards and columns, with assignees or statuses as the columns. Table view starts on Pro, and the Gantt chart view with dependencies needs Business.

Time tracking

The Time app records how long tasks and issues take, and is one of the core apps on every plan. Multi-level grouping of time records starts on Pro.

Milestones and calendar

Milestones mark key project deadlines, and the calendar collects task and project dates. Calendar sharing is on every plan; Google Calendar sync and recurring events start on Pro.

Issue Tracker and Wiki

The Issue Tracker turns a project into a bug-reporting system, and the Wiki holds long-term project knowledge. Both are available from the Business plan.

CRM and Invoices+

A built-in CRM keeps track of customers and follow-ups, and Invoices+ produces invoices and estimates. Both need the Business plan or above.

Shared password manager

The Passwords app, for sharing credentials securely with a team, is a core app included on every plan, the free one too.

Plaky

Boards, items and fields

Work sits on boards as items sorted into groups, each described by custom fields. The Free plan allows 6 fields per board; paid plans have no limit.

Table, Kanban, Chart and Gantt views

Table, Kanban and Chart views are on every plan. The Gantt view, the timeline field and several charts in one view start at Pro.

Dashboards

A dashboard pulls data from boards into one overview: 1 board per dashboard on Free, up to 15 on Pro and up to 30 on Enterprise.

Automations

Board automations carry out repetitive actions and create recurring tasks on a schedule. Pro includes 1,000 actions a month and Enterprise has no cap.

Permissions and viewers

Pro adds private boards, closed spaces and a view-only Viewer role for outside collaborators. Board permissions and protected views are Enterprise features.

Templates

Pre-configured industry templates are available on every plan. Custom board templates and task templates are part of Pro and Enterprise.
