7. Leantime

If you're looking for a program that provides both lean product development and agile project management, then Leantime might be your best bet.

Is Open-Source Project Management Software Good for You?

Open-source project management is an effective way to structure your work, connect with teams, identify bugs, and achieve success in the project. And it will be right for you if you need a highly customizable, budget-friendly project management platform.

However, going the open-source way might not work if you don't have a strong technical team to manage the software, fix bugs and issues, and customize it to your needs.

The Best Open-Source Project Management Tools in 2024

Sarah Burner

ClickUp Contributor

February 13, 2024

A project manager has a lot on their plate—from keeping track of task timelines to evaluating delivery risks and managing workloads . A reliable project management (PM) tool is a must-have to accomplish goals, but the question of essence is: Should you go for an open-source product or traditional project management software?

Open-source project management tools are often preferred by small companies and startups that don’t want to invest in a pricey “boxed” PM solution. While there’s a perceived notion that open-source software can speed up product delivery for Agile teams , using it can be a double-edged sword at times. ⚔️

For example, project management software that’s open-sourced is usually not the most user-friendly for detailed task management and project planning. You may also have to put up with compatibility issues or severe security flaws with some products.

With that in mind, let’s discuss some of the best open-source project management tools in this guide.

Our quick reviews will help you find the one that can handle your workflows.

What Should You Look for in Open-Source Project Management Tools?

2. projectlibre, 4. openproject, 7. restyaboard, 8. taskcafe.

The quality of your project management software, whether open source or not, must roughly offer the following functionalities:

  • Project visibility : The tool should let you oversee projects from different perspectives, such as task progress, assignee workloads, and completion risks
  • Task management : It’s critical that the software supports organizing tasks. It should let you break project planning goals into action items and make tracking easier with status updates and priority tags. Features like time-tracking and resource management to manage workloads are optimal
  • Customizations : It should let you customize the environment with tailored workflows, custom fields , and configurable notifications
  • Accessibility : You should be able to use the software on your computer and mobile device to enjoy flexibility and handle urgent matters on the fly
  • Templates : The best project management software has a collection of templates to add structure to your project planning, admin, and management duties
  • Collaboration tools : See if it has tools like digital whiteboards, document sharing, comment threads, and mind maps to help your team members collaborate

If you’re fixated on open-source tools, consider additional factors like pricing and suitability. These products are typically free, but if you need advanced functionalities and support for complex business models, you may have to opt for a paid option.

OpenProject API

Create own integrations, retrieve data, and automate actions.

To integrate own systems or plugins, access data, and automate your workflows, build with the easy-to-use OpenProject API.

OpenProject’s API is a hypermedia REST API, a shorthand for “Hypermedia As The Engine Of Application State” (HATEOAS). This means that each endpoint of this API will have links to other resources or actions defined in the resulting body.

For BIM use cases, we also offer a BCF API v2.1, targeted towards Building Information Modeling (BIM) use cases. This API builds on top of the existing OpenProject data schema.

Folders and files, repository files navigation, what is taskomask.

Mutation testing

TaskoMask is an open-source task management system built on the .Net framework. The primary objective of this project is to demonstrate the practical application of advanced software development concepts such as DDD (Domain-Driven Design), TDD (Test-Driven Development), BDD (Behavior-Driven Development), and Microservices.

In many cases, the experience of applying these concepts to real-world software products is often obscured by proprietary software companies. TaskoMask seeks to provide transparency and insight into their usage.

Planner: A Beautiful Open-Source Task Management App

Ankush Das

Brief: Planner is an open-source to-do list app that helps you organize and collect your ideas/tasks.

There are several tools and services that let us organize and manage tasks. But, if it is primarily tailored for Linux and offers a fantastic user experience? That’s a bonus!

Planner is such a tool at your disposal.

Unfortunately, it is not available for any other platform but Linux.

Planner: An Open-Source To Do List App

planner screenshot

An incredibly good-looking open-source task management app with essential features. It helps you organize tasks while providing a good user experience.

It was originally tailored for a seamless experience with elementary OS, hence, for the best user experience, you can try installing an elementary OS theme and icons .

But, that is totally optional. In fact, I tried it on Pop!_OS 21.04 without installing any additional themes and icon packs.

Overall, it is easy to use and offers some essential features that you might want to know before trying it out.

Features of Planner

planner board view

While it looks like a simple to-do list app from the get-go, it has a lot to offer. Some of the features to highlight are:

  • Ability to create/organize different projects.
  • Drag and drop support for tasks.
  • Make sections to further divide your tasks/ideas.
  • Schedule tasks for a particular time (supports recurring tasks as well).
  • Add multiple reminders for a task.
  • Ability to add sub-tasks.
  • Assign priorities for the tasks added.
  • Choose a board view to better organize or simplify viewing the tasks when you have a lot of things going on.
  • Supports labels to easily filter you ideas or tasks.
  • Sync integration with Todoist to enable cross-platform support.
  • Dark and Light theme choices.
  • Emoji support for the task/project title to make it look attractive and meaningful.
  • Ability to send the tasks/ideas by email or share as a markdown file.
  • Unread badge count support.
  • Ability to export data offline.
  • An option to keep the app running in the background to never miss any reminders or for quick access.
  • Ability to tweak the clock format.
  • Integration with system’s default calendar.

Even with all the features, it is quite easy to organize and offers a simple user interface suitable for everyone.

No matter whether you want to manage a whole lot of tasks utilizing all the functionalities, or just add a few to-do lists, Planner is an amazing tool to help you out with.

todoist sync

Installing Planner in Linux

If you are using elementary OS, you will find it listed in the AppCenter.

For other Linux distributions, you can grab it as a Flatpak package and get it installed. If you have Flatpak integration with your software center, just search for it or enter the following command in the terminal:

It is also available in AUR and Fedora repositories if you prefer that. You can also explore the GitHub page for more info.

Wrapping Up

Choosing one of the best to-do list apps for your requirements is important. Once done right, it will help you step up your task management game and organize your life better.

If you can manage cross-platform support using Todoist integration, Planner is a good pick. After all, you can always consider some of the note-taking apps as an alternative solution as well.

10 open source task management and time tracking applications for Android

Clocks

Matteo Ianeselli. Modified by Opensource.com. CC-BY-3.0.

The demands of modern life can, at times, be overwhelming. Even a super organized person probably needs digital tools to keep track of personal and professional meetings and deadlines. If you were at All Things Open this year, you might have seen Opensource.com's own Jason Baker and Jen Wike Huger talk about open source productivity hacks , which was an excellent primer on open source tools and tips for optimizing your productivity. To add to the conversation Jason and Jen started, I would like to share with you 10 apps for your Android phone that can help you get organized, keep track of the time you have spent on a task, and make sure you meet your deadlines. All of the apps are open source and available from the F-Droid repository , so give them a try and see if any of them meet your needs.

  • F-Droid page
  • Source code
  • License: GPLv3+

Mirakel is a task management app with a modern user interface and support for just about every format you might want in such a program. At Mirakel's basic level, it supports multiple lists, which are referred to as "meta lists." Creating an individual task has a plethora of options with deadlines, reminders, progress tracking, tags, notes, sub-tasks, and file attachments, all comprising a part of a task's entry. On the project's F-Droid page, syncing with Taskwarrior and CalDAV are predominately listed as key features, but in the app itself the sync features are marked as buggy, so if syncing is important to you, be aware that this experience might not work all that well.

OpenTasks, like many of the other entries on this list, is an excellent task management tool for creating individual tasks with a wide variety of settings. It supports a wide range of fields when creating a task, ranging from basic things, such as name and description, to more complex items, such as choosing if the task is private, public, or confidential. The biggest thing that sets OpenTasks apart from the alternatives is its use of tabs on the app's main screen. These tabs quickly allow you to see the tasks due, tasks starting soon, tasks sorted by priority, and tasks sorted by current progress towards completion. Many of the other apps support doing things like these, but with OpenTasks quickly easily accesses these lists.

Pomodoro Tasks

  • License: GPLv3

If you are a fan of the Pomodoro Technique , or wish to try it out, Pomodoro Tasks is the app for you. Of the two Pomodoro apps in the F-Droid repository, it is the one with the better user experience and design. However, it is still an older app, so its design is a little dated compared to many modern Android applications. Despite that, it functions well, allowing the user to turn their phone into a Pomodoro timer.

Pomodoro Tasks task management

Simple Deadlines

Simple Deadlines focuses task completion. The fields available for creating a task are very spartan, just "label," "group," and a deadline. One major advantage this app has is the clear deadline countdown on the overview screen. This countdown displays the number of days until an item is due and the days left is displayed in a box that changes color as the deadline gets closer. Tasks due today or tomorrow are red and tasks due later are orange, yellow, green, or blue, depending on how far away the deadline is.

Simple Deadlines task management

Simpletask Cloudless

For the more text-focused users, Simpletask Cloudless uses the todo.txt format for creating entries. Lists are created by prefixing words in tasks with the @ sign and tags are made by using the + sign as a prefix. Due dates are set using due: YYYY-MM-DD . Because the underlying data is stored in a simple text file, sharing your task list with other todo.txt-compatible apps is easy.

Simpletask Cloudless task management

Simply Do is the most basic app on this list. It supports the creation of lists and list items. You enter a name for the item and nothing more. Each list item is either in progress or crossed off as finished. Long-pressing on an item brings up the option to add a star for high-priority tasks, but beyond that Simply Do is very simple (as advertised). For users looking for a bare-bones to-do list, this app is probably the right choice.

Simply Do task management

A simple timer app, TasClock provides a way to keep track of how much time has been spent working on a task. Each task only has a name, so a task cannot contain extra descriptive data, but for basic tasks TasClocks is good enough. Having the timer running for multiple items at the same time is possible, but the app does not provide a detailed report for all time spent on tasks. The closest thing TasClock has is a detailed view for each individual task, which you can access by long-pressing on the task in the list.

TasClock task management

Another solid task manager, Tasks has an excellent feature set. You can assign to each individual task a deadline and priority. Also possible is hiding tasks until a certain date, so that tasks in the far future do not overwhelm you by showing up in the task list far in advance. Tasks has a simple timer option for adding to a task's entry its expected duration and how long you have already spent on it.

Tasks task management

  • License: GPLv2

Timesheet can track the time spent working on various tasks. You can slot individual tasks as billable or non-billable. Selecting a task from the task list starts Timesheet's time tracking tool. You can have only one task active a time, so you need to take that into account when setting up your tasks. The app has daily and weekly overview modes, which show the amount of time spent on each task. You can export data from Timesheet to a CSV file for use in other programs.

Timesheet task management

One of the apps developed as part of the Privacy Friendly Apps Project , To-Do List features a modern design while focusing on respecting your privacy. The app requires only the absolute minimal permissions needed to function, which in this case is the ability to run automatically when your phone boots. To-Do List supports multiple to-do lists, assigning deadlines to individual to-do items, and enabling reminders. The app has a calendar view, which provides a nice way to get an overview of upcoming deadlines.

When evaluating the top 5 open-source team management tools, it is essential to consider their features, pricing, and benefits side-by-side. This will help you decide which tool best suits your team’s needs and requirements.

Here’s a quick rundown of team management tools for managers to consider, featuring Leantime, OpenProject, ZenTao, ProjectLibre, and Tuleap:

  • Leantime: Offers unique AI-based features and an inclusive design, making it an innovative and adaptable choice for diverse teams. It also focuses on allowing individuals to organize within the tool as opposed to only organizing the project work.
  • OpenProject: Provides a comprehensive and scalable solution for project management, with a strong focus on collaboration and progress tracking.
  • ZenTao: Covers the entire project lifecycle, providing various features. It’s an option for teams needing a comprehensive project management tool.
  • ProjectLibre: Serves as a reliable alternative to traditional tools, offering essential project management features and a familiar interface for users.
  • Tuleap: A versatile platform for agile and DevOps teams, supporting various methodologies and offering a comprehensive set of software development features.

Choosing the right open-source team management tool depends on your team’s specific needs, workflows, and preferences. It is essential to consider the tool’s features, ease of use, and capacity to ensure that it can effectively support your team’s productivity and collaboration efforts.

Often thought of as a task tool and less of a team management tool, the art of project management is often missed in its value to organizing a team. Project management is more about implementing a process within an organization or team to reach an outcome.

There are typically 5 stages to the process of project management. If your process in your team management is not thought out, established, or just rapid wildfire, the team will feel that, and both the culture and their job satisfaction may be impacted.

Effective project management plays a crucial role in enhancing productivity. By focusing on balancing time, cost, quality, and risk, project management helps ensure that projects are completed efficiently and successfully.

Done correctly, project management can help foster team collaboration and engage team culture, which are essential ingredients for a productive work environment. In this section, we will explore some key aspects of project management that contribute to enhanced productivity.

A successful project manager must ensure that projects are completed within the given timeframe, within budget, and meeting the required quality standards. This involves allocating resources efficiently, setting realistic deadlines, and establishing a clear project plan.By effectively managing these aspects, project managers can contribute to increased productivity and better project outcomes.

Project management also plays a vital role in fostering team collaboration and engaged team culture. Project managers can encourage collaboration and improve overall team performance by creating an environment where team members can openly communicate, share ideas, and work together.

This includes setting clear expectations, providing regular feedback, and promoting a culture of continuous improvement. Engaged team members are more likely to be motivated and committed to their work, leading to increased productivity.

Being flexible and adaptable is critical to managing projects effectively. Project managers can foster creativity and innovation within their teams by being open to change and embracing new ideas. This can lead to the development of unique solutions and approaches to solving problems, ultimately contributing to improved productivity and project success.

Furthermore, embracing change allows teams to remain agile and responsive to evolving project requirements, ensuring that they can quickly adapt to new challenges and opportunities.

Finally, risk management is a critical aspect of a project management tool that team members should pay attention to. By identifying potential risks and developing strategies to mitigate them, project managers can minimize the impact of unforeseen issues on project timelines and budgets. 

This proactive approach to risk management helps to ensure that projects remain on track and that teams can maintain their productivity even in the face of unexpected challenges.

In summary, open-source team management tools are vital in improving team productivity by providing flexible, cost-effective, and versatile solutions to various team management challenges.

By carefully evaluating each tool’s features, pricing, and benefits, you can select the best option that caters to your team’s specific needs and requirements, ultimately enhancing productivity and fostering a collaborative work environment. Make an informed decision and invest in a tool that will support your team’s growth and success in the long run.

Best for flexibility

Notion

Cheapest paid plan (billed monthly)

Number of users, number of projects/tasks, what you should know.

Notion is a versatile task management platform that gives you a high degree of control and customization even on its free plan. With an abundance of views and formats, including Kanban boards, Gantt charts, calendar views and to-do lists, it offers users multiple ways to track and organize projects. You can also make use of thousands of templates built by Notion and its users, catering to an array of health and fitness, work and office and day-to-day home management needs.

You won’t need to pay anything to get unlimited pages and workflows as an individual, but you’ll need to upgrade to give multiple users full functionality. While you can upload unlimited files on the free plan, you’ll be limited to 5 MB per file, as well as a seven-day history and one synced database.

We’d recommend it if you want to use one platform to manage a variety of project and task types with flexible views and displays; it’s particularly good for content creators.

Pros and cons

  • Multiple views, including Kanban boards, Gantt charts and to-do lists.
  • Thousands of versatile templates for things like health and fitness, work and home.
  • Free version offers individuals unlimited pages and workflows.
  • Custom automation features only available on paid plans.
  • Maximum file upload of 5 MB on free plan.
  • Limited admin and security features on free plan.

Best for customization

ClickUp

ClickUp’s free platform gives you a highly capable and customizable task management platform with an unlimited number of tasks and members. It also offers 24/7 customer service on all plans. You’ll be able to view tasks in unlimited lists, boards and calendars, but you’ll only get 60 uses of Gantt charts, timelines and workloads.

The free plan also allows custom statuses and up to 20 custom task types, as well as other useful features like multiple assignees, checklists, dependencies and a basic custom field manager. However, you’ll only be able to create five “spaces” as part of the free plan — unlimited spaces are only available on paid plans. There are also no time-tracking features and very limited other reporting capabilities.

  • Free version offers unlimited free plan members and tasks.
  • A range of views, including Kanban boards and Gantt charts.
  • 24/7 customer support on all plans.
  • Limits on how many views, custom fields and workloads you can use.
  • No time tracking features.
  • Only five ‘spaces’ on free plan.

Best for automation

Trello

While Trello’s free platform only offers its Kanban-style board view, its two main highlights are its automation services and unlimited power-ups. With its Butler automation, you’ll be able to create rules, buttons and commands, and repetitive actions are recognized with suggested automations that help increase productivity. Third-party apps you can integrate include Slack, Jira, Gmail, Microsoft Teams and Google Drive.

You’ll be limited to 10 MB file uploads and only 10 boards per workspace, though with unlimited storage and workspaces for all plans, this isn’t too restrictive. It’s not ideal if you want to see projects and tasks in calendar or timeline views, but as a basic task manager with smart automation tools, it can be a useful platform for individuals and small businesses.

  • Very straightforward and easy to use.
  • Built-in automation features, including an automation bot called Butler.
  • Unlimited power-up feature lets you integrate third-party apps.
  • File uploads are limited to 10 MB per file.
  • You only get up to 10 boards per workspace.
  • Limited view options.

Best for collaboration

Hive

Hive comes with its own native communication tools, allowing for straightforward collaboration with up to 10 workspace members on its free plan. As a task manager, it’s fairly capable, offering unlimited tasks and subtasks as well as multiple views such as Kanban, Gantt, calendars and tables. However, you’ll only get two pages and 100 workflows, and while Kanban views are unlimited, the free plan only offers 100 uses of Gantt, calendar and table views.

Your ability to customize projects and tasks will also be fairly restricted with no custom fields or labels, and your storage limit on the free plan will be 200 MB overall. Its free plan also comes without a few other features, such as AI assists, custom dashboards and analytics. We’d recommend it as a simple free task manager for small teams working together that will benefit from its native collaborative tools.

  • Native collaboration and communication tools.
  • Multiple views and layouts.
  • Unlimited tasks and sub-tasks.
  • 200 MB storage limit.
  • 10 projects and two pages on free plan.
  • No custom project fields or task labels.

Best for startups using Zoho

Zoho projects.

Zoho Projects

Zoho offers a project manager as part of its larger suite of tools and products, offering a free version for up to three users as well as a 10-day free trial on its paid plans. You’ll be able to manage two projects, create feeds, share documents and custom statuses and set up task dependencies within projects. It’s particularly useful for startups already making use of other Zoho products like CRM, Meeting and Sprints, all of which integrate into the free platform.

You can also use third-party app integrations for Microsoft Teams and Office 365, Slack, Dropbox, Zendesk and Zapier. However, there are some significant limitations to the free version, including limited customization — you can’t create custom fields or views, and there are only basic reporting capabilities.

  • Integrates with Zoho CRM, Meeting and Sprints.
  • Straightforward and easy to use.
  • Offers useful core features, including document sharing, subtasks and custom statuses.
  • Only three users and two projects on free plan.
  • No Gantt charts, custom views, time tracking or custom fields.

Best for client task management

Teamwork

Teamwork will be particularly useful for agencies needing to manage client tasks, as it comes with built-in billable time-tracking features and estimated time management. It also offers client-level insights and client-company management, though you’ll only get client users with premium paid plans. With Teamwork, you’ll also get a range of automation features, including automatic Slack updates, HubSpot deals and Microsoft Teams messages.

It does have drawbacks in the shape of limited reporting capabilities — while all plans come with a dashboard, only premium paid plans offer reports on status, portfolio health, time, utilization and profitability. You also won’t have any phone, live chat or email support options on its free plan.

  • Billable time-tracking and invoicing features useful for agencies.
  • Client views and management features.
  • Wide range of automation features.
  • No phone, live chat or email support.
  • Limited reporting and customization options.
  • No client users on free plan.

Best for individuals and freelancers

Monday

Monday is a popular task management platform with businesses worldwide, but we’d recommend its free plan specifically for individuals and freelancers managing their businesses. It offers a straightforward Kanban interface only, with over 200 templates available, so you’ll be able to create up to three boards with two users and unlimited documents.

However, Monday’s free plan is missing a number of wider features like timeline, Gantt and calendar views, as well as offering no integrations or automations. It’s a relatively simplistic platform compared to others, so we’d recommend it more for individuals than teams that will need more advanced collaboration and reporting capabilities.

  • Over 200 templates available.
  • Apps for iOS and Android.
  • Intuitive and easy to use interface.
  • No integrations on free version.
  • Only offers Kanban view.

Best for complex tasks

Asana

We’d recommend Asana’s powerful platform as an ideal choice for small businesses managing complex tasks or projects with plenty of moving parts. With unlimited tasks, projects, file storage, assignees and messages alongside multiple views such as boards, calendars and lists all included on its free plan, it’s a capable piece of software. You’ll also have access to over 100 free third-party integrations such as Microsoft Teams, Adobe Creative Cloud, Okta and Tableau.

However, you won’t be able to use timelines, Gantt views, goals or portfolios with the free plan, nor time-tracking, workflows or various automation features. The free plan is also fairly limited when it comes to reporting, with only status updates and CSV and PDF exports available.

  • Unlimited project management essential features.
  • Multiple views available.
  • Over 100 free integrations.
  • Limited reporting features.
  • No 24/7 support.

Best for app building

Podio

Podio offers a unique solution for businesses that will benefit from building their own customized project management apps to suit their specific needs. As well as the ability to design a bespoke task manager for your team, you’ll have access to hundreds of user-created apps online. It allows you to keep all important aspects of your business and projects in one central place, depending on the requirements of you and your team.

However, its free version is limited in the other features it offers — including the number of items and client users you can support. It also doesn’t offer automated workflows or visual reports, so keep this in mind if you’re considering Podio.

  • You can build your own customizable apps for project management.
  • You’ll also have access to hundreds of pre-made apps.
  • Live chat support available.
  • Limited features on the free plan.
  • Takes a while to set up and customize to your exact specifications.

Best for scaling up

GoodDay

With a robust set of features and capabilities as well as relatively affordable price plans for upgrading, we’d recommend GoodDay for businesses looking to scale up their operations. Its free version is already quite powerful, offering unlimited projects and tasks for up to 15 users, with views including lists, boards, tables, calendars, event summaries and portfolios. You can customize views, priorities, workflows and statuses, as well as set up dependencies, reminders and to-do lists.

Other customization options are only available on paid plans, such as task, project and user fields, as well as task types and IDs. Additionally, many security features and all CRM features are only available when you upgrade, but with the next price plan up only costing $6 per month, it’s an affordable choice for scaling up.

  • Unlimited projects and tasks.
  • Unlimited views, with most available on free plan.
  • Powerful features for big businesses with affordable plans for scaling up.
  • Many customization options unavailable on free plan.
  • No finance, time tracking, chats or automation.

The best task management software has positive user reviews on customer review sites and app stores. Task management software companies should provide customers with fast and reliable support. Using a combination of phone support, live chat and knowledge bases, customers should be able to quickly resolve issues 24/7.

Task management software should have role assignment features, timelines and dependencies. It should also allow businesses to use customizable templates, track expenses and track milestones.

And the best task management software should offer client access, billing and invoice capabilities and budgeting features.

What is task management software and how does it work?

Task management software is a digital tool you can use as an individual or a business to manage, organize and prioritize tasks. While levels of features and capabilities will vary between platforms, many also offer the ability to communicate between team members, share files and updates and track progress toward objectives. 

You’ll be able to use task management software to create and assign tasks, set deadlines, allocate resources and allow for collaboration between colleagues. These tools can help you and your business increase productivity and efficiency. However, it’s important to be aware of how complex your needs are. 

Some task management programs can be complex and could end up reducing your productivity and organization, which is why it’s so important to find the right platform for your needs.

Benefits of free task management software

Using task management software can offer a number of benefits for individuals and businesses, including:

  • Free forever: A good free task management software will offer unlimited projects or workflows without any extra costs — not just a free trial before you have to pay.
  • Productivity: Task management platforms can increase your team’s productivity through automation, progress tracking and reporting, saving time on repetitive tasks.
  • Centralized workflow: You can use task management software to keep all workflows centralized, allowing easy access for all team members and collaborators to stay updated and informed.
  • Collaboration: You’ll be able to clearly assign roles and allocate resources on projects and tasks to different team members, and many platforms also allow team members to work together and communicate. 
  • Manage big projects: Complex and lengthy projects can be broken down into separate tasks and workflows with multiple teams and team members. 
  • Remote workers: If you rely on remote workers or freelancers, many task management platforms allow all team members to collaborate online from any location.

Who needs task management software?

Task management software can prove useful for a variety of individuals and businesses. You might be a freelancer with a number of client tasks to manage or a hobbyist running a side hustle — in which case, a free task manager will be ideal. 

Likewise, small teams and businesses can also benefit from using task management software to organize and track workflow progress for team projects. A free plan or trial period offers a great way to try out different platforms and products so you can find one that suits your needs best before committing to a paid plan with more features and capabilities required by your business.

How to choose the best task management software

Choosing the best free task management software for your business means considering a range of factors and how each of these will best suit your needs. You will need to think about the core features offered by each platform, as well as whether it plugs into any existing software you have and how easy and intuitive it is to use. 

Additionally, you should look into the customer support options each platform offers, as this will be crucial in case things go wrong and your work is at risk.

Key features to look for

Levels of complexity and customization will vary between platforms, but in general, you should look out for the following features as part of your task management software:

  • Sub-tasks: Key to keeping big projects organized, task managers should allow you to split tasks and assign different deadlines and workers to each sub-task.
  • Views and visualizations: You should also be able to see your tasks and projects in different views, like Kanban dashboards or Gantt charts. You may find these to be limited in free versions of some platforms, so check price plans to ensure you’re getting what you need.
  • Integration: If you have any existing software or hardware in use for your business, such as finance and accounting apps, design tools or communication platforms, it’s worth seeing if these will plug into the task management software you want. It helps keep everything synchronized and centralized.
  • Tracking and reporting: Your task manager should also allow you to track task and project progress against deadlines and objectives, as well as generate reports. 
  • Automation: Some platforms will even offer automation services that let you set up automatic tracking and reporting.
  • Collaboration: Lastly, if you’re managing a team’s workload, it’s vital they can work together, so look for task management software that allows for communication and role delegation.

Ease of use

Some task management tools will be relatively simple and easy to use, with intuitive drag-and-drop interfaces that allow for straightforward organization. However, others offer more complex capabilities, including multiple views like Gantt charts, calendars, lists and galleries, automated reporting and collaboration between multiple team members. 

Consider what you’ll need the software for, how many people and tasks you’ll be managing and what kind of insights you’ll want when making your choice.

Security 

You should also factor in any security requirements you might have, especially if you’re a big organization or you use third-party apps, providers or even freelancers. Being able to control access on multiple levels may be particularly important. Additionally, consider things like two-factor authentication, secure sharing and data protection when choosing platforms.

Customer service

If something goes wrong with your task manager, it can affect your business’s ability to complete projects and assure stakeholders of progress. Customer service is a key part of being able to resolve issues, so look for providers that offer both round-the-clock availability and instant contact by phone or live chat as a priority.

How much does task management software cost?

When looking for free task management software, consider whether it’s truly free forever — meaning you’ll have access to all the features on the free plan forever without having to pay. 

While this might mean many advanced features are hidden behind paywalls, you’ll at least be able to rely on the software for your basic needs without restriction. This is in contrast to free trials that often give you access to the entire platform for a limited time, after which you won’t be able to use it without paying.

If you’re looking to try a free plan in order to get a feel for a specific task management software before committing to a paid plan, you’ll likely be more on the lookout for usability as well as scalability. Consider which paid plans offer the most bang for your buck to narrow down your options, but focus on which free software feels the most natural to use for your business. 

You may find that some software platforms offer prices on a per-user basis while others offer a set number of users for each plan. Others may even have a minimum-user requirement, so if they charge a set price per user and require at least three users, you’ll need to pay three times the price you see given as a minimum.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

The best free task management software will depend entirely on your needs and requirements as an individual or business. ClickUp and Notion both offer great customization features, with Notion especially good for content creators.

Paid task management software plans offer a range of extra benefits, including more users or projects, additional features and advanced integrations and security. These will often be more useful for bigger teams and companies managing complex projects with multiple moving parts and stakeholders that need to be kept informed. 

When prioritizing tasks in project management, you should consider the resources available, any dependencies on the task being completed and the urgency of the request. 

Task management software lets you manage multiple tasks at work by allowing you to create, organize and assign tasks, set deadlines, track progress and, if required, add sub-tasks. All tasks are kept in one place and accessible for anyone who needs to see them, often in digestible formats like calendars, boards and timelines.

Improving task management skills will require you to be disciplined and attentive to detail in order to get the best from task management software and boost your productivity. You should: 

  • Focus on prioritizing tasks on your to-do list.
  • Create a manageable schedule for delivery with realistic deadlines. 
  • Ensure you’re communicating with stakeholders to keep everyone on the same page.

The best software will make this easy and help you manage your workload efficiently and effectively — but it’s made even easier when you know you’ve picked the right task management software for your requirements.
