Free/Low-cost project management software?

November 9, 2011 11:44 AM

What free/low-cost project management system do you recommend?

I'm interested in a basic project-management software for about 10 people working on a project. I've tried out basecamp previously, but find it a little too complicated for my needs. I've seen this question which is a year old.

What are your recommendations?


Thank you.

I've had great success with Redmine in the past.

+1 for Redmine. It's dead simple for users, which has been a huge plus for us.

We are starting to use Asana. Free up to 30 users.

I've heard about Asana but have no personal experience with it. It's web-based and free.

Another vote for Asana. Simple, clean, easy on the eyes, does what you're looking for elegantly.

I've trying out Trello at the moment. Worth a look if you want something simple for a small team.

Also starting to use Asana, but have had good success with Podio as well.
