Freedcamp Reviews

Our nonprofit's communications committee uses this to manage social campaigns, newsletter production, design tasks, and email marketing. We tried Trello but switched to Freedcamp. The UI of Freedcamp was nicer and it felt like a better fit. Before this we relied on email threads and Google Docs, which made it hard to stay organized. Good option for any small team that needs to stay on top of tasks without a lot of setup.

Very easy to get started with and intuitive to learn — our team picked it up right away. We can assign tasks, set due dates, and everyone knows what they're working on. We like being able to comment and attach files directly to tasks, and having separate boards for each area keeps everything from getting mixed together. Visually it's nicely designed and easy to see what you need and get to what you need.

Hard to think of any cons for a team of our size and needs.

Freedcamp is a very capable project management service, especially with offering free/discounted plans for Non-profit organizations.

Freedcamp has a very clean modern interface that is easy to use. Our board has a very diverse technical level of ability, and we found Freedcamp easy to use, even for the most, technically challenged of us.

Initial setup takes a bit, but this really isn't different from most project management apps. There is always a learning curve. There are some file size limits and advanced features that are locked behind various tiers, but that currently didn't really effect us in any way

We are extremely grateful for the ongoing donation of the business plan of this great software to our charity. It has enabled us to expertly manage our tasks without diverting funds from our beneficiaries.
I've made feature suggestions on UserVoice and been delighted when they have been implemented.

Cloud-based, with web and app versions. Lots of features, modules and customisations. We can use one system for event organisation, software bug tracking and task management.I've found being able to define our own task statuses very helpful for working with volunteers. For example, I created 'started but stalled' as an variation of an open task and 'redundant' as an alternative to marking a task as done or deleting it. It's more realistic and accurate

Setting up user's permissions for various projects can be confusing.
It doesn't seem to remember my task filter settings. I have to click 'Hide completed' every time I open a project.

I have used freedcamp at a previous nonprofit and when I came to my current nonprofit and we needed a project management tool this is what I suggested. I believe it flows better and functions better for task management than some other tools out there. I like the ability to add teams to various projects and the front dahsboard to see all projects at once. I recommend it for project management at all levels!

I like the structure of the projects and tasks. Adding people to different groups and projects at different levels of access is also helpful.
Each task being able to get a timeframe, responsible party, priority and even subtasks works great for managing our projects. There are so many features that is it a very robust tool and wonderful for teams of all sizes.

If someone has not used a project management tool before I think it takes a bit to learn. I do wish there were a few more tutorials for those staff. I also think sometime navigation is not always super intuitive.

I highly recommend using Freedcamp. I also admire their NPO program, as it allows for non-profits to professionalize their processes in a way no other management tool currently does. 10/10!

- Premium features 100% free for nonprofits under 30 employees
- Easy for non-technical volunteers
- Zapier integrations on free plan

- Outdated UI design
- No workflow automation
- Mobile app is clunky

I highly recommend using Freedcamp. I also admire their NPO program, as it allows for non-profits to professionalize their processes in a way that no other management tool currently does. 10/10!

The features are very easy to understand and use. They also integrate a lot of features, which allow my organization to do in one app what it used to do in multiple ones. I particularly like the project management tools!

Some features might be a bit easier to be used. For instance, when assigning a task, it might be easier if I can just click on a box and start writing, instead of having to click on "edit task" before doing so. However, this is such a small thing - and so easy to get accustomed to - that it doesn't harm the experience in the slightest.

It has become a useful friend to our organization. I have tried several different platforms and found Freedcamp to be the best overall. I highly recommend you consider using it.

Easy to understand and set up. Not overly complicated but effective. The layout and structure of the system is very intuitive.

So far, there is nothing I would consider a negative.

Overall, Freedcamp has been a very helpful tool for our non-profit organization. It brings structure, clarity, and better coordination to our leadership team. While there is still room for improvement, especially in the mobile app, we see strong potential and plan to continue using it as our main project management tool.

We are a non-profit organization and our leadership team has been searching for several years for a tool that would be both effective and easy to use. Freedcamp seems to meet these expectations very well. It helps us organize tasks, manage our internal processes, and improve collaboration within our team. The platform is intuitive and flexible, and it gives us a much clearer structure for our work. We are still exploring all the features, but our experience so far has been very positive.

The mobile application could be improved, as it is not always as intuitive or smooth as the desktop version. We are also still learning how to fully use all available features, which can take some time at the beginning. However, these are not major issues and we expect the experience to improve as we continue using the platform.

We as a nonprofit were looking for some tools which was affordable, but also feasible to use. Freedcamp met our expectations, and much more. I would recommend Freedcamp to anybody.

Freedcamp is an all in one software. They have many hidden features including synchronization to Google suites, CRM, and even a Passwords manager. Rather than have multiple products for different things, Freedcamp allows everything to be in one place.

I feel like the UI can be a bit better. Also, we keep getting notifications every single day regarding what tasks are needed to be done, but customizable notifications would be very beneficial for us.

Very positive. The system is as good is not better than other project systems I've used, and the support team are responsive and genuinely helpful.

There's a depth of features both within the tool itself and with external integrations, and within the project tool itself it allows flexible configuration to adapt it based on your workflow or project style so it can be as complex or as simple as you need it to be.

The UI is flexible, easy to read and to use.

Creating tasks, assigning users, dates et al are super straightforward and cleanly laid out. Being able to represent the boards in different layouts for different users is easy too. Depending on the project the various views change practical usage... eg, Tables are my go-to for task lists, for projects that require timeframes and reporting the gantt view is great, I use kanban for less complex things.

Multiple levels of sub-task depth is also great. Other project tools will cut-off at two layers which means you need to abide by the tool's limits whereas freedcamp is more flexible.

It's a bit hard to fault it. There's a light/dark mode for the phone app, tho I'd love a full dark theme for the browser version.

Overall, I had a really good experience using this software. It helped me save time and made my workflow more efficient. While there’s some room for improvement, especially in terms of feature access, I’d still recommend it to others, especially small teams or solo users who want something straightforward and effective.

I really liked how intuitive and easy to use the interface was. Even if you’re not super tech-savvy, you can get the hang of it pretty quickly. The features are well-organized and everything feels smooth. Customer support was also very responsive and helpful, which is a big plus for me.

One thing I didn’t like is that some features felt a bit limited unless you upgrade to a paid plan. Also, the initial setup took slightly longer than expected, and a few parts of the documentation could be clearer.

As a small business manager of a nonprofit art supply store, I wear many hats throughout an average work day, as do our employees. I was struggling to track all that was delegated over the course of a day, week, etc. and it was important to me to be able to consider each team member's energy and capacity. I needed a bird's-eye view off all that had been communicated and was in progress, a way to quickly review tasks in progress and projects underway without relying on my memory constantly.  Freedcamp has proved up to the challenge!

Utilizing Freedcamp to track team projects, meeting agendas, routine tasks, and one-off tasks has provided clarity and accountability for our team. It's also a great place for project planning, easy delegating, and status updates.

Lacks Gantt chart capability at lower tiers. The breadth of tools and different views can be overwhelming for new users, though they provide a lot of customization and flexibility.

Freedcamp has become essential for Respek Indonesia Siaga in managing nonprofit activities. We rely on it for planning, scheduling, and team collaboration. It gives us confidence that our projects are progressing in an organized and transparent way.

Flexible project setup, customizable workflows, and clear reminders that help prevent missed deadlines.

The interface design is functional but could feel more modern to match other tools in the same category.

Freedcamp has been a big help for our digital marketing agency. We use it to manage client work, campaigns, content calendars, and team tasks, everything stays organized in one place.

It’s easy to create different projects for each client and assign tasks to team members. The calendar helps us plan posts, emails, and ad campaigns. We also use the file sharing feature to keep all documents, graphics, and reports in one place, so nothing gets lost.

Our team loves how simple it is to use, even for new members. It works great on desktop and mobile, so we can update tasks or check deadlines anytime.

If you're running a marketing agency or managing multiple clients, I highly recommend Freedcamp to keep your work clear, organized, and on track.

Our team loves how simple it is to use, even for new members. It works great on desktop and mobile, so we can update tasks or check deadlines anytime.

Freedcamp is game changing tool for managing tasks and projects

Project Management Solution Review: Freedcamp for Service Club Events
Hyannis Rotary Club's Experience with Freedcamp
As Webmaster and IT Coordinator for the Hyannis Rotary Club, a service organization with over 100 years of community impact , I am pleased to share our experience implementing Freedcamp project management software.
Our Event
Since the late 1960s, our club has hosted an annual Home and Lifestyle Show as our primary fundraising initiative. This two-day event, held at our local high school, attracts between 3,000 and 5,000 visitors and features:
Approximately 130 local vendor booths of various sizes
Community and non-profit organization participation
Educational workshops
Food concessions
Corporate sponsorship opportunities
All proceeds support local community programs and initiatives.
The Challenge
Traditionally, event planning has been the responsibility of the President-Elect, a position that rotates annually. This structure created significant challenges in knowledge transfer between leaders, resulting in stress and potential gaps in continuity. Our reliance on spreadsheets for project management proved cumbersome and difficult for an event of this complexity.
The Solution
After extensive research into project management platforms, I selected Freedcamp for its comprehensive features and great non-profit pricing. I soon realized that we would need the Business Plan tier which provides many features including:
Task lists and sub-tasks
Kanban boards
Gantt charts
Milestone tracking
Time tracking
Collaboration tools
CRM and issue tracking
and much more
Experience so far
Freedcamp generously provided a two-month free trial period, after which we plan to transition the paid subscription. This year, I configured our entire Home Show planning process within Freedcamp, running it parallel to our traditional methods to facilitate a smooth transition for next year's event.
The learning curve proved manageable through hands-on exploration, and the platform's intuitive design made setup straightforward. When challenges arose, I successfully used AI assistance when needed.
My Impressions and Recommendation
While I continue to explore Freedcamp's full feature set, the improvement over our previous methods is substantial. I am confident the initial time investment in system setup will yield significant time savings and reduced stress for future event chairs. This will make the role more manageable and help us recruit future event chairs with confidence.
I strongly encourage fellow Rotarians and other non-profit organizations managing complex events to consider Freedcamp. There are various subscription tiers to fit your needs.

Pricing for Non-Profits, We needed the business plan, got a generous trial period. The software is cloud based, straightforward and very comprehensive . Able to set up as a "newbie" by myself with AI help. Should save us a lot of time for our next yearly big fundraising event. Give it a look

Nothing really, every Project Management software initially is a little intimidating

Our team has been using Freedcamp, Inc. to manage our workload and assign tasks and we would highly recommend it!

Freedcamp is intuitive, clear and affordable. It allows us to stay organized and keep on top of tasks. We love it!

It always takes time to adjust to using a new program. So that was the case when we moved to Freedcamp, but overall the transition was pretty seamless because of how intuitive the platform is.

Overall, I am completely delighted with this outstanding product. I absolutely recommend it if you were looking for a cost-effective project management tool with all the bells and whistles.

I am absolutely blown away by how Freedcamp has helped organize the Philadelphia Folk Festival and support the Philadelphia Folksong Society, especially given that it’s all managed by an incredible team of dedicated volunteers. Freedcamp has truly been a game-changer for streamlining the planning and coordination of such a large-scale, volunteer-run event.

As a volunteer myself, I can honestly say that Freedcamp has made the entire process so much easier and more efficient. With its intuitive project management features, we can easily track tasks, communicate, and stay organized as we work together to bring the festival to life. The platform allows the festival’s volunteer team to manage everything all in one place. The ability to assign tasks, set deadlines, and share updates in real-time has made a huge difference in ensuring everything runs smoothly and on time.

Freedcamp is especially valuable given the scale of the 62 year old Philadelphia Folk Festival. It helps manage tasks carried out by more than two thousand volunteers working in different areas, all with the shared goal of making the festival a success. Freedcamp’s user-friendly interface ensures that everyone, no matter their role or experience level, can stay on top of their responsibilities and contribute effectively. It’s helped create a seamless flow of communication, making collaboration between teams, artists, and staff effortless.

Beyond the festival, Freedcamp also supports the Philadelphia Folksong Society’s year-round activities, allowing volunteers to stay organized and manage community events, and outreach efforts. The platform’s versatility is key in helping the Society continue its mission to nurture and celebrate folk music.

For an event that relies entirely on volunteers, Freedcamp has been indispensable in turning what could be a chaotic and overwhelming task into a manageable and enjoyable process. It’s clear that Freedcamp’s project management tools have played a huge role in the continued success of the Philadelphia Folk Festival, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the positive impact it has had on this beloved community event.

Could benefit with continued gui updating. Still a work in progress.

Freedcamp is a great project management tool! Using Freedcamp has changed the way I work on my own and together in the team. I highly recommend it!

I particularly like the daily email update, which gives me a clear overview of all my to-dos. The structure of the subtasks is extremely clear and makes it easy to keep track of even complex projects. I find the option to flexibly adjust the status of tasks at any time particularly useful—this way, the whole team always knows where we stand.

There is no real "con". Always when I am looking for any function or missing something, I search for it and find how to applicate in within Freedcamp - because from my point of view it has everything.

Overall, I found it the best and most affordable option of the many softwares I tried. I will continue to use it well into the future.

I found Freedcamp to be very intuitive and I love the outlook integration that allows me to save emails as comments to easily find my zoom links or info needed for a project without having to scour my inbox! I tried many other platforms that were much more costly but didn’t integrate as nicely before I settled on Freedcamp. It’s fast, easy, and keeps me organized for sure!

Mobile app lacks bells and whistles- but has basic functions

As an event planner, juggling countless tasks, deadlines, and team members can quickly become overwhelming. That's where Freedcamp has truly shone for our team. We've found it to be an incredibly robust and flexible task management tool, perfectly tailored for the chaotic yet rewarding world of event planning.

Centralized Task Management: Keeps all event-related tasks in one place, eliminating the need for scattered spreadsheets and emails.
Clear Accountability: Easy task assignment and tracking ensures everyone knows their responsibilities.
Customizable Views: Allows team members to work in the format that best suits their needs.
Powerful Filtering: Enables quick access to specific tasks and information.
Time-Saving Templates: Streamlines the planning process and ensures consistency.
Collaboration Features: Facilitates seamless communication and teamwork.

I wish that when I open a task, I don't have to click the edit pencil to make changes.
