1. TOP 5
project management applications

2. Freedcamp
 Freedcamp offers one of the cleanest interfaces and smoothest interactions (only
competitors in that area goes to ApolloHQ who also have a very visually pleasing
interface and very good interactions smoothness).
 The application offers the regular tools like To-Do’s, Discussions, Milestones, Files,
Time Tracking, and Invoices. Where it really stands out is its Basecamp Import and
the Meebo Chat bar which enables you to chat with all your existing messengers with
your colleagues who may use Gtalk, ICQ, Facebook Chat, and many more.
 The application is young but it has a rapid growing feature list. The very best thing
actually is not the features, or the beautiful interface, it’s the applications’ price tag…
FREE! That’s right, this application launched a little over a month ago and has
announced that it will remain completely free forever with unlimited users and
projects! Something the rest of this list won’t offer.

3. BasecampHQ
 Basecamp is the oldest and most trustworthy in this list. They have been
around for a long time and have proven to maintain their application as
simple as possible. Some find this quite annoying as they want a lot more
functionality out of the system, others find it pleasing as it never gets too
complicated.
 I will remain impartial to this, but will say that I think there are ways to add
more features without burdening the users.
 The application has a very primitive design, same argument stays. So if you
are ready to spend a whopping $20-$150 a month for a project management
application this should be your first choice.

4. ApolloHQ
 Apollo is a rather new project management application but it has
quickly gained our respect with a decent set of features and a
great interface. The biggest issue is they have blatantly offering
the application for free, to soon release a set of payment plans
that may kick their users out… who knows. Otherwise the
application is worth a check, but personally i would wait until
they annonce their plans. For a company to take months before
releasing a price tag, it’s just scary to start using it.

5. GoPlanApp
 GoPlan is a nice simple application with a nice
interface. Their pricing is pretty fair, seems like the
only draw back is the simplicity of the app which
actually has offers less than BasecampHQ. But the
application is definitely worth a mention.

6. Huddle
 This application also holds a very special place in the PM world,
I for one still find it hard to see the appeal. Especially at a price
of $15/user/month, i find it almost slightly repulsive (not the
website, but the actual application). It has some customization
options that I can see are nicely setting them apart. But otherwise
the time it takes you to learn to use this software is a cost i find
much more gruesome than the $15 for every team member that
joins.
