Freedcamp Vs Asana: Feature & Pricing Comparison

Freedcamp Vs Asana: Feature & Pricing Comparison

Both of these project management systems have plenty to offer. Find out which will work best for your business.

Asana is the original project management software giant. It has been popular award-winning software for years, favored by business owners of all kinds. Freedcamp rivals Asana as a productivity app and task manager. Today we put them both to the test and figure out which project management software is best for your small business needs.

Here’s What We’ll Cover:

Design & Ease of Use

Goal Setting and Tracking

Project Management Tools

Pricing Plans

Key Takeaways

Design & Ease of Use

Asana

Asana has a colorful interface. It’s inviting to use because of the dynamic nature of each screen. The project overview page is a particular highlight. It shows you the project roles, task list, timeline, milestones and resources all in one snapshot. This can be a little cluttered to some people. It is, however, very useful to get a project update on one screen.

Asana also has many different types of project views to customize your organization’s style. Gantt charts, Kanban boards and traditional checklists are all integrated.

As for ease of use, Asana does its best to set you up for success. There are multiple project templates to choose from. Onboarding is simple too. Asana is incredibly powerful, however, so it can take some time to learn the key features. The level of personalization is fantastic but daunting to beginners.

Freedcamp

Freedcamp has a planar interface. Less colorful and dynamic, but this can be a good thing. The animations that Asana throws in are fun, but not necessarily functional. The dashboard views are divided to make them easier to read. You have a task view, calendar view, widgets view and project card views. The projects are organized into unified cards that you can click into. Very clean and simple.

Getting started with Freedcamp is a little simpler because there are fewer features. You do have some templates to start with. But not as many as Asana.

Verdict: Freedcamp is easier to use overall because of its simplicity.

Goal Setting and Tracking

Asana

Asana really invests in its goal setting and tracking software. You can set overarching goals with clear milestones. Its goal tracker is very intelligent. It classifies your team goals as “on track” or “at-risk” if things are running behind.

Freedcamp

Freedcamp has a more relaxed approach to goal setting. You can set goals and milestones with group lists and tasks. But the visual representation is not as satisfying.

Verdict: Asana wins this round
