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.
