By consolidating various communication tools, like task comments and user tags, ClickUp Free becomes an effective team working tool that means you won&rsquo;t have to spend hundreds on third-party messaging apps.<\/p>\n<p>As well as this, the ClickUp Free tier has a huge array of both essential and advanced features including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Custom views<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Portfolios<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Goals<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Mind maps<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Dashboards<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Spreadsheets<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As an added bonus, Clickup Free didn&rsquo;t present a steep learning curve for users. It provides a lot of <strong>easy preset functions<\/strong>, such as employee management templates and productivity workflows, so our testers were able to hit the ground running after a relatively quick onboarding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>However, during testing, we were <strong>frustrated by the speed of the platform<\/strong>. The app became unresponsive frequently, particularly when importing data. One tester had to manually add in dates and milestones to a project, which proved time-consuming. As a result, we gave ClickUp Free an okay ease of use score of <strong>3.9 out of 5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>We also would have liked to see more integrations available with ClickUp Free; specifically for marketing. While rival brands like Trello, Asana, and Teamwork connect with third-party apps like HubSpot for free, ClickUp lags behind in this area.[\/vc_column_text]\n <\/p><div class=\"highlight-box\">\n <div

href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/project-management-software\/clickup-pricing\/\"><strong>ClickUp pricing<\/strong><\/a>, we found that startups could feasibly use the free tier for their full first year in business without needing to upgrade, as its average price across all pricing plans are very competitive.<\/p>\n<p>Pricing begins at just $7 per user when billed annually ($10 per user when billed monthly) for Clickup Unlimited, which unlocks<strong>&nbsp;unlimited storage<\/strong>&nbsp;and<strong>&nbsp;larger monthly allowances.&nbsp;<\/strong>Here&rsquo;s the full pricing by tier:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>ClickUp Free&nbsp;<\/strong>&ndash; $0<\/li>\n<li><strong>ClickUp Unlimited&nbsp;<\/strong>&ndash; $7 per user, per month (billed annually)<\/li>\n<li><strong>ClickUp Business&nbsp;<\/strong>&ndash; $12 per user, per month (billed annually)<\/li>\n<li><strong>ClickUp Enterprise&nbsp;<\/strong>&ndash; on request<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ClickUp Unlimited costs around <strong>&pound;10 per user, per month<\/strong> when billed annually, and this unlocks an unlimited number of uses of important features like dashboards. Our experts say it&rsquo;s the ideal investment for scaling companies taking on more projects or commissions.<\/p>\n<p>While this article predominantly focuses on the free features provided by each provider, it&rsquo;s important to also highlight ClickUp&rsquo;s recent advancements in the realm of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>On January 30th, 2024, ClickUp unveiled <strong>ClickUp Brain<\/strong>, a groundbreaking leap in AI technology. ClickUp Brain harnesses knowledge from an entire organisation&rsquo;s workspace, streamlining processes and eliminating redundant tasks.<\/p>\n<p>ClickUp Brain comprises three integral components: <strong>AI Knowledge Manager&trade;, AI Project Manager&trade;, and AI Writer for Work&trade;<\/strong>, collectively enhancing efficiency by automating mundane tasks and empowering you to allocate your valuable time towards innovation and leadership.<\/p>\n<p>While it can be seamlessly integrated into any plan for an additional $5 per member per month, you also have the option to explore its potential through a &#128184; <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/clickup\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\"><strong>complimentary trial period<\/strong><\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Is the ClickUp Free plan worth it?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes; for startups that are in the very early stages of growth, ClickUp Free is excellent value for money. It allows you to create an <strong>unlimited number of tasks<\/strong>, and has lots of premium features (eg. <strong>Kanban boards<\/strong>) that are only available with the more advanced plans of rival software like monday.com or Wrike.<\/p>\n<p>That said, users can only create <strong>up to five spaces<\/strong> per month with ClickUp Free, which means teams with more than three employees will likely <strong>quickly outgrow the free tier<\/strong>. We recommend startups ugrade to ClickUp Unlimited as soon as their budget can afford to ensure the tool doesn&rsquo;t end up limiting hiring plans.[\/vc_column_text]\n <\/p><div

It is an incredibly easy-to-use platform that encourages creative thinking and problem-solving with its online whiteboard feature.\n<p>During our ease of use testing, we discovered that the more complex features (ie. budget tracking) require workarounds, which can take a while to grasp. Sometimes, the monday.com free plan explained the workarounds via its <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/crm-software\/knowledge-bases\/\"><strong>knowledge base<\/strong><\/a> but other times it didn&rsquo;t, leaving us in the dark at points of the test process.<\/p>\n<p>Sole traders won&rsquo;t need to worry about this problem as they are more likely to be using the platform for day-to-day tasks than long-term project management. Comparatively, group work is not really catered for in the free tier of monday.com.<\/p>\n<p>Projects with multiple collaborators or stakeholders will struggle with the lack of dashboards, or a team instant messenger, to monitor colleagues&rsquo; progress. Both of these are, by comparison, available on ClickUp Free for no charge. Of course, if you <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/project-management-software\/monday-com-pricing\/\"><strong>spend on monday.com<\/strong><\/a>, then you unlock a huge number of features that make it far better suited to team work.

In January, they launched six new enhancements to their time log modal, logging your time is easier, faster, and more intuitive than ever before. It&rsquo;s now also easier than ever to find and assign teammates to time logs. Need multiple people added to an entry? Teamwork states, &ldquo;Whether it&rsquo;s one person or multiple, you&rsquo;ll find this experience snappy, simple, and streamlined.&rdquo;<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n[vc_column_text]\n<h3>Teamwork Pricing<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Users who upgrade to Teamwork Deliver for &pound;9.99 per user, per month (billed annually) will find it an expensive leap compared to scalable rivals like ClickUp and monday.com.<\/p>\n<p>However, the upgrade does get you access to billing and invoicing &ndash; two crucial resource management areas that will save a lot of time and money for SMEs.<\/p>\n<p>Here&rsquo;s how the other Teamwork plans stack up:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Teamwork Free Forever&nbsp;<\/strong>&ndash; &pound;0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Teamwork Starter&nbsp;<\/strong>&ndash; &pound;5.99 per user, per month (billed annually)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Teamwork Deliver&nbsp;<\/strong>&ndash; &pound;9.99 per user, per month (billed annually)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Teamwork Grow&nbsp;<\/strong>&ndash; &pound;19.99 per user, per month (billed annually)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Teamwork Scale&nbsp;<\/strong>&ndash; bespoke<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Is the Teamwork Free plan worth it?<\/h3>\n<p>Like monday.com, Teamwork Free should not be thought of as a long-term PM solution. It is definitely <strong>not the most full-featured free plan<\/strong> for SMEs. Particularly when compared to rivals like ClickUp, it is hugely lacking in project creation areas like preset templates and custom project templates &ndash; plus, there&rsquo;s a pesky three user limit.<\/p>\n<p>Teams with <strong>more than three employees will need to upgrade<\/strong> to the next plan up, Teamwork Standard, to ensure your software is not only available for a certain percentage of team members.&nbsp;To support a larger team base, Teamwork Standard will also give you access to a team messenger tool.[\/vc_column_text]\n <\/p><div class=\"highlight-box\">\n <div

In <a href=\"https:\/\/help.wrike.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/20821854299671-What-s-New-in-Wrike-January-2024\"><strong>January 2024<\/strong><\/a>, they introduced their long-awaited <strong>Dark Mode<\/strong>, as well as updates on their Table View, Request Forms, easier automation integration abilities, and new charts and templates that you can add to your Dashboards.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n[vc_column_text]\n<h3>Wrike Pricing<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Customers can get by with the Wrike Free platform if they are planning a short-term project. However, if your company deals with regular commissions and tasks, the lack of features will start to limit staff.<\/p>\n<p>Here&rsquo;s how Wrike&rsquo;s pricing plans look (charged in $):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wrike Free&nbsp;<\/strong>&ndash; $0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wrike Team&nbsp;<\/strong>&ndash; $9.80 per user, per month (billed annually)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wrike Business&nbsp;<\/strong>&ndash; $24.80 per user, per month (billed annually)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wrike Enterprise&nbsp;<\/strong>&ndash; bespoke<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Upgrading to Wrike Team for<strong>&nbsp;$9.80 per user, per month <\/strong>(pricing is only available in US dollars) brings a significant uplift in functionality with users then able to access features like Gantt charts and dashboards. Our complete guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/project-management-software\/wrike-pricing\/\"><strong>Wrike pricing<\/strong><\/a> has more information on how much you should expect to spend.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Is the Wrike Free plan worth it?<\/h3>\n<p>Given Wrike&rsquo;s low cost, we would recommend small businesses upgrade to Wrike Team to take advantage of the many core and advanced project management features that it provides.<\/p>\n<p>Chief amongst them being a <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/project-management-software\/best-gantt-chart-templates\/\"><strong>Gantt chart<\/strong><\/a>, which can be very helpful for large teams needing to prioritise resource management and calendar planning (monday.com only offers this on its Pro plan). You&rsquo;ll also get preset widgets, the ability to create dashboards, and task dependencies.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s worth noting that all of these features are available for free (although with a limited number of uses) with ClickUp.

&ldquo;<strong>Update Matrix<\/strong>,&rdquo; refreshed in <a href=\"https:\/\/confluence.atlassian.com\/adminjiraserver\/upgrade-matrix-966063322.html\"><strong>January 2024<\/strong><\/a>, the platform introduces several noteworthy features, such as the ability to always view the oldest or newest comments first, updating descriptions for multiple issues simultaneously, enabling the addition of watchers during issue creation, and enhancing security measures by storing database passwords in HashiCorp Vault.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n[vc_column_text]\n<h3>Jira Work Management Pricing<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Away from the free plan, Jira&rsquo;s prices remain cheap for business users. Jira Standard is priced at $5 (around &pound;4.04) per user, per month when billed monthly (costs are only available in US dollars) which is just cheaper than monday.com.<\/p>\n<p>This payment uplift gives you some additional features beyond the free plan, including more customer support options (live chat and email). You&rsquo;ll increase your user limit beyond 10, which will be essential for growing businesses, plus benefit from more data storage.<\/p>\n<p>Here&rsquo;s how Jira&rsquo;s pricing plans look (charged in $):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Jira Free <\/strong>&ndash; $0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jira Standard <\/strong>&ndash; $8.15 per user, per month<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jira Premium <\/strong>&ndash; $16 per user, per month<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enterprise <\/strong>&ndash; bespoke<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For smaller businesses with under 10 users, we&rsquo;d recommend sticking with Jira Free given how minimal the benefits are for upgrading.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Is the Jira Work Management free plan worth it?<\/h3>\n<p>Small businesses with fewer than 10 employees should absolutely stick with Jira Free. The platform is an <strong>excellent way to save money<\/strong> before you&rsquo;re ready to start growing your team.<\/p>\n<p>Our analysts could only spot three areas where Jira Free differs from Jira Standard: user limit, data storage limit, and automation limit. None of these will stop you from managing a project, so we think the freemium tier is good value for SMEs &ndash; although you might need to spend money on another <strong>file storage system<\/strong> like Google Drive to plug the gaps.[\/vc_column_text]\n <\/p><div class=\"highlight-box\">\n <div class=\"highlight-box-decor\">\n <svg class=\"brush-stroke-svg brush-stroke-big\"

Cincan told Startups: &ldquo;The comment function allows us to share ideas, add files, and keep track of everything pertaining to that task or project in one place. If someone works on a task I&rsquo;m involved in then I get notified, which helps me to be on top of the projects I&rsquo;m interested in.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>During testing, we found that Asana Basic <strong>doesn&rsquo;t offer much scope for workarounds<\/strong> if you&rsquo;re trying to complete a task which the app doesn&rsquo;t currently boast a set feature for.<\/p>\n<p>That said, it has made some improvements since 2023: standout being project budgeting. Previously, Asana Basic wasn&rsquo;t able to track a budget effectively. Plus, its <strong>existing<\/strong> <strong>spreadsheet functionality lacked formula capability<\/strong>. Now, users can add a budget to tasks, and use formulas to calculate total costs spent.[\/vc_column_text]\n <\/p><div class=\"highlight-box\">\n <div class=\"highlight-box-decor\">\n <svg

These include Capacity Plans for better project staffing, Jira Cloud Comment Syncing for easier collaboration, and Gmail Sync to link emails with tasks. Admins can now customise new user onboarding, and users can review their 2023 usage stats. Collaborating via Microsoft Teams is now smoother, and the Gantt view allows for applying multiple filters. A new Rule Builder also makes workflow management more flexible. (All of that just in February, phew!)<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n[vc_column_text]\n<h3>Asana Pricing<\/h3>\n<p>Asana&rsquo;s free plan certainly holds its own against rivals like monday.com, but it doesn&rsquo;t have the complex features that ClickUp boasts, such as subtasks for divvying up responsibilities, which teams of 5+ employees will find frustrating.<\/p>\n<p>Here&rsquo;s what you&rsquo;ll need to spend for Asana&rsquo;s paid plans:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Asana Basic&nbsp;<\/strong>&ndash; free<\/li>\n<li><strong>Asana Premium&nbsp;<\/strong>&ndash; &pound;9.49 per user, per month (billed annually)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Asana Business&nbsp;<\/strong>&ndash; &pound;20.99 per user, per month (billed annually)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Asana Enterprise&nbsp;<\/strong>&ndash; bespoke<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Asana Premium is the best way forward for larger companies with a lot of collaborators. The cost is &pound;9.49 per month, per user when billed annually (&pound;11.59 billed monthly).[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Is the Asana free plan worth it?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes; it&rsquo;s certainly possible for microbusinesses and sole traders to use Asana completely free forever. It has an unlimited number of tasks, projects, and team messages, meaning for basic, day-to-day task management it&rsquo;s unlikely to hamper growth.<\/p>\n<p>Asana&rsquo;s free Basic version allows up to 15 users to collaborate, and we would recommend it for larger, remote teams. Being able to add CRM, marketing, accounting, and reporting integrations makes it a brilliant solution for those needing a virtual workspace they can use to manage their daily tasks, together.[\/vc_column_text]\n <\/p><div class=\"highlight-box\">\n <div class=\"highlight-box-decor\">\n <svg class=\"brush-stroke-svg brush-stroke-big\" preserveaspectratio=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 116

Because of this, it doesn&rsquo;t have a lot of the more advanced features that apps like ClickUp Free provide. For those looking to find their feet with an easy bit of software, however, we think Trello Free is the best option. Users can get:\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Kanban boards<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Assignee and due dates<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>iOS and Android mobile apps<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Two-factor authentication<br>\n<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Marketing and CRM intergrations<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Adding a task is done using a simple pop-up form (pictured above) which can be tailored using custom fields. Because there&rsquo;s no particular field which asks for specific project information (eg. deadlines), we did find it frustrating to edit all of this information again when duplicating tasks.[\/vc_column_text]\n <\/p><div class=\"highlight-box\">\n <div class=\"highlight-box-decor\">\n <svg class=\"brush-stroke-svg brush-stroke-big\" preserveaspectratio=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 116

class=\"highlight-box-content\">\n <p>Trello is very popular for mobile use, as its back-end is simple to use even if your smartphone is outdated and clunky. In August 2023, the platform unveiled <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.trello.com\/introducing-trello-dark-mode\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trello Dark Mode<\/a><\/strong>, a new feature that lets you change the brightness. So, if you&rsquo;re dreaming up a new project at 10pm at night, you won&rsquo;t be kept awake by the blue light of the Trello board.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n[vc_column_text]\n<h3>Trello Pricing<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Trello has had a major shift in its pricing in the past 12 months, becoming dramatically cheaper than what it was in the recent past. Trello Standard, the platform&rsquo;s second-tier, now costs &pound;4.15 per user, per month when billed monthly (&pound;4.99 per user, per month, billed annually).<\/p>\n<p>Here&rsquo;s the full Trello cost breakdown, by plan:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Trello Basic <\/strong>&ndash; free<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trello Standard <\/strong>&ndash; $5 per user, per month (billed annually)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trello Premium <\/strong>&ndash; $10 per user, per month (billed annually)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trello Enterprise <\/strong>&ndash; $17.50 per user, per month (billed annually)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, Trello Standard offers little more than an uplift in user allowances from 5 to unlimited. Trello Premium ($10 per user, per month) has more features for your money but these are all available for zero cost from other platforms, like ClickUp Free or Wrike Free. Switching providers is better value for money when looking to upgrade.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Is the Trello free plan worth it?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. <strong>We recommend Trello business users stick with the free plan<\/strong>, rather than upgrading to a paid-for tier. Trello is so great with features that you won&rsquo;t be missing out &ndash; making it a great, bargain choice for single users that want to manage their project tasks on a Kanban board. If you&rsquo;re looking to implement any add-ons (or as Trello calls them, &ldquo;Power-ups&rdquo;) however, some come at a small additional cost.<\/p>\n<p>The one reason you&rsquo;d need to upgrade to Trello Standard would be for <strong>the &lsquo;guest access&rsquo; feature<\/strong>, as this is the only tool that&nbsp;<em>isn&rsquo;t&nbsp;<\/em>available with the free tier. You can read this one of two ways: Trello&rsquo;s free plan is incredibly generous, or its paid-for plans are noticeably lacking.[\/vc_column_text]\n <\/p><div class=\"highlight-box\">\n <div

However, a free software tool is more limited as, for obvious reasons, companies want you to upgrade to a paid-for plan to access more sophisticated features.<\/p>\n<p>For example, ClickUp&rsquo;s freemium plan only gives users 10 automations per month. Meanwhile, its lowest-tiered plan, ClickUp Unlimited, has no cap.<\/p>\n<p>However, free plans will <strong>definitely<\/strong> give you access to project dashboards. These are essentially a virtual workspace when you can see every task that needs to be completed, as well as who is responsible for its delivery. Some free platforms allow other team members to be added to dashboards so you can collaborate.<\/p>\n<h2>What types of businesses should use free project management software?<\/h2>\n<p>Free software plans are not meant for long-term use. They can help you to scale-up your business by delivering on a successful project, but once a company takes on multiple clients or employees, users should upgrade to unlock more sophisticated tools aimed at delegation and collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>That said, freemium tools are good choices for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sole traders <\/strong>and those who might be running their company alongside a full-time job. monday.com Free is our preferred plan for this type of user.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Startups<\/strong> that can&rsquo;t commit to a long-term, expensive contract but need a tool that can enable them to take on new contracts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Small businesses<\/strong> based offline that need to manage projects irregularly, such as a restaurant wanting to organise a seasonal calendar of events during Christmas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, it&rsquo;s not only about size or budget. Purchasing any new business technology requires you to assess the goals of your business to get the most of your investment.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking to collaborate better with your team, or to find a smarter way to monitor the resources spent on a project each month, then you will need to factor these considerations into your research.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<\/p><div class=\"jumplink-anchor-section\">\n <div class=\"jumplink-anchor-pointer\" id=\"link-what-makes-a-good-free-project-management-software\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text]\n<h2>What makes a good free project management software?<\/h2>\n<p>Free software often has limitations on the number of users, which can prove irritating for SMEs with larger teams. For this reason, we picked out the best free options for project management software based on how they go against these expectations.<\/p>\n<p>These are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Number of available features<\/strong> &ndash; freemium options tend to be close-fisted when it comes to PM features<br>\n<strong>2. Security<\/strong> &ndash; cyber-attacks can be particularly costly for SMEs, but security is not often the focus for work management tools<br>\n<strong>3. Gentle learning curve<\/strong> &ndash; important for small firms that are new to using PM software and want to get to grips with a freemium version<br>\n<strong>4. Number of users<\/strong> &ndash; user limits are common for freemium software and can be tricky for small businesses with fluctuating team sizes<br>\n<strong>5.

The real change comes when you begin using it in earnest to focus your team&rsquo;s initiatives, objectives and responsible stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>There&rsquo;s no &ldquo;one size fits all&rdquo; way of doing this, of course. Some businesses may enjoy working off a simple Kanban style board, while others will want to plan activities through Gantt charts, RACI indexes or even schedule work through calendars. Every project management tool has a different approach, and most will also offer a huge variety of ready-made templates that you can customise to suit the working style of your own team.<\/p>\n<p>We have a number of guides that can help you to understand some of the best ways to use project management software, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/project-management-software\/free-project-plan-templates\/\"><strong>Best Project Plan Templates<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/project-management-software\/free-competitor-analysis-templates\/\"><strong>Free Competitor Analysis Templates<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/project-management-software\/best-project-management-methodologies\/\"><strong>Project Management Methodologies Explained<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"jumplink-anchor-section\">\n <div class=\"jumplink-anchor-pointer\" id=\"link-final-verdict\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text]\n<h2>Final verdict<\/h2>\n<p>Our top-rated free project management software is <strong>ClickUp Free<\/strong>, an extraordinarily generous software freemium that compromises on very little in terms of features.

<strong>Cost factors <\/strong>measuring the affordability of each brand&rsquo;s pricing plan against the average small business budget, including hidden fees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> <strong>Ease of use <\/strong>measuring how easy each product is to use. These scores were awarded via independently-organised testing sessions, during which six participants put each system through its paces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> <strong>Features <\/strong>available for task management. Can users carry out all of the core functions of project management? What about more complicated capabilities like automation?<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.
