Their Pitch
Manage Projects Online, Delightfully
Our Take
It's project management software with built-in time tracking and invoicing. Think Trello with a timer that actually bills your clients.
Deep Dive & Reality Check
Used For
- +**You're billing clients by the hour but tracking time in spreadsheets** → Built-in timers on every task automatically generate invoices with detailed breakdowns
- +**Your remote team gives vague updates like 'almost done' and 'making progress'** → Real-time dashboard shows exactly who's working on what and how much time they've logged
- +**You're managing 15 clients across different project stages** → Switch between Kanban boards for daily workflow and Gantt charts for timeline dependencies
- +Tracks time down to the minute on subtasks - no more 'I think I spent 3 hours on that logo' guesswork
- +Custom workflows with drag-and-drop priority - color-code urgent work without rebuilding your entire setup
Best For
- >Service businesses tired of manually creating invoices from scattered time logs
- >Remote teams where nobody knows who's working on what or for how long
- >Small agencies that need client portals without paying enterprise prices
Not For
- -Solo freelancers managing under 10 projects - the 50-project cap on the cheapest plan is overkill for simple needs
- -Large companies needing advanced resource forecasting - this does basic hourly rates, not complex capacity planning
- -Teams wanting something dead simple - you'll spend time setting up custom workflows and fields
Pairs With
- *Dropbox or Box (where project files actually live since ProProfs just links to them)
- *Zapier (to automatically create tasks from client emails or form submissions)
- *QuickBooks (to import the invoices ProProfs generates into your actual accounting system)
- *Slack (where your team complains about updating time logs and progress percentages)
- *Google Workspace (for the actual document creation and email that ProProfs doesn't handle)
The Catch
- !The Solopreneur plan caps at 50 projects, so if each client gets their own project space, you'll hit limits faster than expected
- !No pricing transparency - you have to 'inquire for quote' on the basic plan, which usually means it's more expensive than competitors
- !The unlimited plan jumps to $199/month, making it pricier than alternatives once you outgrow the basic tier
Bottom Line
Project management that actually handles your billing - no juggling three different tools to get paid.
