[Mind maps have a number of uses](https://www.taskade.com/blog/mind-map-use-cases/). They can be used for brainstorming new ideas, mapping out processes, and better learning. A mind map gives you a diagram for representing concepts, words, items, or even tasks. Ideas in a mind map are usually branched out from a central concept. 

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ta0iaSv4QRo" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Their visual nature is believed to boost learning and memory. A mind map takes an otherwise long list of monotonous information and converts it into something colorful, memorable, and highly organized, all in a diagram format that works in line with your brain’s natural way of processing information.

It's useful to [learn how to create effective mind maps](https://www.taskade.com/blog/mind-map-ultimate-guide/) as this can help improve your productivity.



## Uses for mind maps

One of the main uses of mind maps is brainstorming. [Brainstorming is a great way to generate ideas](https://www.taskade.com/blog/remote-brainstorming-remote-team-mindmapping/) and get new perspectives on your existing thoughts and plans. When you create a mind map, you can draw connections between ideas that you may not have considered otherwise, which helps to stimulate creativity. Additionally, using a mind map while brainstorming allows you to organize your thoughts and stay focused on the task at hand.

Another common use for mind maps is organizing information. Whether you are creating a project plan, planning an event, or putting together a presentation, mind maps can help you keep all of the necessary details straight. 

You can create a visual representation of your ideas, which makes it easy to see how different pieces fit together. Additionally, creating a mind map can help you avoid getting bogged down by the details and focus instead on the big-picture ideas that are most important.

Mind maps can be used for many other purposes as well, including note-taking, planning your day, predicting outcomes in a project, and to-do lists.

## The benefits of using mind maps

[Mind maps are a great tool for improving productivity and increasing efficiency](https://www.taskade.com/uses/mind-mapping). They allow you to be more organized, focused, and creative, which ultimately enables you to get more done in less time. Additionally, mind maps are versatile – they can be used for a variety of different tasks and purposes, which means that you can stick with just one tool instead of having to learn a new approach for each project.

If you are looking for ways to improve your productivity and efficiency, then mind maps may be the perfect solution. From [brainstorming](https://www.taskade.com/templates/mindmap/brainstorm-new-ideas) to organizing information, they can help you stay organized and focused while allowing you to create more ideas and get more done in less time. 

So whether you are planning an event or working on a project, mind maps can be a valuable tool that can [help you achieve your goals](https://www.taskade.com/templates/task-management/weekly-goals).

## How to create a mind map

Now with Taskade, you can give a unique take on your typical to-do list switching quickly between a traditional task list view to a mind map view with just the click of a button.

Create your to-do list and then just hit the “mind map” button at the top of the workspace and watch as Taskade instantly transforms that to-do list into an interactive mind map.

You can also do the reverse. You can start in the mind map view, build out your mind map, and then change it to a list view to see it converted into a typical task list.

Check out the templates on this page to get started building your next mind map. Additionally, pick from our [list of the best mind mapping apps](https://www.taskade.com/blog/best-mind-map-apps-for-windows-and-mac/) out there and kickstart your mind mapping journey today.

## What Is Airtable?

Airtable is a hybrid tool that merges spreadsheet functionality with database storage capabilities. Howie Liu, Andrew Ofstad, and Emmet Nicholas founded the company in 2012 as a solution for businesses to better organize their information digitally.

If you don’t organize your information well, it can lead to a lower productivity level in your company. With its cloud database solution, Airtable gives you the ability to build anything from simple to very complex databases to organize all of your information. 

Building databases usually require help from engineers, but with Airtable, you can create these databases without having to worry about coding at all. Information stored on Airtable can be filtered and manipulated, helping you to better visualize large amounts of information.

Think of Airtable as a cross between excel and a database that’s loaded with more features.

## Features of Airtable

Airtable has a few features to help you store and organize your data. 

An Airtable Workspace contains Bases, which contain all your project information. Each Workspace will ideally have a few unique Bases which contain organizational information relating to that area.

Bases contain Tables, which take some inspiration from spreadsheets. Information in Airtable is stored within Tables, and you can have multiple Tables within your Base.

For example, you could have a content workspace, which contains an editorial base. Your editorial base would then contain a few tables such as an article ideas table, a blog schedule table, and other tables relating to editorial.

After storing your data, you can switch between a few views including the classic Spreadsheet view, Kanban, Gallery, Calendar, and Gantt view. 

Airtable isn't exactly beginner-friendly, but if used correctly it can be a powerful tool to store and organize your information. To make things easier for beginners, Airtable has templates available to help kickstart your project since every project begins as a clean slate.

In contrast, Taskade is a better free alternative to Airtable because Taskade is intuitive and has a [wide range of Templates](https://www.taskade.com/templates/featured) to help you organize just about anything.

Airtable also works with Zapier and Workato so that you can integrate with other apps within your Airtable and also automate certain tasks.

Additionally, you can also create interactive apps in Airtable for your team to use. Apps that you create will be stored by Airtable which means that it’s quite a hassle-free experience. 

Airtable can be a powerful database tool to have, but that’s just about what it is. It isn’t a full [project management](https://www.taskade.com/blog/best-project-management-apps/) suite that allows for real-time collaboration such as Taskade.

### What Is Airtable Good For?

Every Airtable project starts as an empty sheet, which means that you can use it to input any sort of information. It is a flexible database tool that you can use to organize your data. You can use Airtable for accounting, inventory management, CRM, and more.

Although you can use Airtable for simple project management, we wouldn't recommend using it for more complex projects that require collaboration as Airtable has limited communication and collaboration features.

### What Are Some Limitations of Airtable?

Although Airtable works well as a database management tool, it is not beginner-friendly. Seasoned Airtable users and spreadsheet experts can probably make full use of Airtable’s capabilities. 

However, if you’re a beginner, you’re likely to feel overwhelmed. If organizing information in excel is not your strongest suit, Airtable will probably be a complicated tool for you to master. You could learn how to use Airtable, but be prepared to invest some time in learning how to use it to your advantage.

If you’re here, it probably is because you’re looking for software to manage projects and to-do lists, and Airtable simply doesn't have enough features for you to do this efficiently.

Airtable lacks proper communication features to help you communicate with your team. When it comes to real-time communication for project management, Taskade is the best free Airtable alternative. This is because Taskade offers [free and unlimited chat](https://www.taskade.com/uses/video-chat) and [video conferencing](https://www.taskade.com/blog/video-conferencing-team-call-chat/) built-in to every project so that you can communicate with your team without having to toggle between apps.

Airtable also does not support linking between bases. This means that if you need to access information from multiple bases, you will have to manually toggle between them.

Airtable is more of a replacement for Excel, not a project management tool. It is hard to communicate and assign tasks within Airtable. Although it is a good software to use for organizing data, there are better alternatives out there. If you’re looking for a tool to manage your projects, Taskade would be a better choice for you.

## Airtable Pricing

Airtable has 3 main pricing plans which include the Free Plan, Plus Plan, and Pro Plan. There is also an additional Enterprise plan which can be unlocked by getting in touch with their team.

### Airtable Free Plan

A Free Plan is perfect for you if you’re a beginner to Airtable. It comes with everything you need to try out Airtable such as unlimited bases and 2GB of maximum storage per base. The free plan also includes all available views within Airtable and gives you the ability to create 1 app per base.

The Free Plan comes with 1200 records per base.

### Airtable Plus Plan

If you require more features, Airtable’s Plus Plan brings up the maximum number of records to 5000 with 5GB of max storage per base. Airtable will also store your version history for up to 6 months so that you can revert your project back to a previous version.

The Plus plan lets you collaborate with unlimited users and gives you the ability to create 3 apps per base.

Airtable’s Plus Plan starts at $10 per user each month.

### Airtable Pro Plan

The Pro Plan gives you up to 50,000 records with up to 20GB maximum storage per base, which means that it is catered more towards bigger businesses. It unlocks the Gantt and Timeline views plus keeps your version history for up to a year.

You can also create up to 10 apps per base with the option to create personal views that only you can see.

Airtable’s Pro Plan starts at $20 per user each month.

## What Is Taskade?

Taskade is a flexible productivity and project management tool that was founded by John Xie, Dionis Loire, and Stan Chang in 2017. The Y Combinator-backed startup aims to help remote teams and individuals get work done faster and smarter.

Taskade is where remote teams get work done.

The Best Free Airtable Alternative

## What Is Any.do?

Any.do is a task management software that was founded in 2011 by Omer Perchik, Yoni Lindenfeld, and Itay Kahana. The first iteration of Any.do was an Android app known as Taskos.

After receiving $1 million in funding from angel investors in 2011, Any.do experienced a surge in growth, with over 500,000 users downloading the app within the first month of launch. Two years later, they had over 7 million users and by the end of 2020, Any.do crossed over 30 million users. This makes Any.do one of the most popular to-do list apps today.

On Any.do, users can manage their tasks by creating to-do lists and breaking down larger tasks into smaller subtasks. Unlike [Remember The Milk](https://www.taskade.com/compare/free-remember-the-milk-alternative) which requires users to upgrade to access the subtasks feature, Any.do offers this feature for free.

The desktop home view is broken down into three sections which is a menu on the left, a task block in the middle, and a calendar block on the right.

Being available across most devices, Any.do gives you the ability to add and check tasks on the go. Additionally, you can integrate Any.do with your device calendar. This would then show all of your daily tasks on your device calendar, ensuring that you’re always on top of your day.

There is synergy between Any.do’s to-do list functionality and its calendar view, which allows users to easily toggle between the two views and keep track of things. With a simple build, Any.do is easy to use and is used by a large number of users due to its ease of use.

As a simple to-do list app, Any.do would suffice if you’re looking for a software to help organize simple tasks. You can also collaborate with other users on your to-do lists on Any.do. However, although Any.do is good as a simple task management tool, it lacks features that are required when working on more complex tasks.

### Features of Any.do

Any.do is light on features, and that is by design. Being light on features makes it a simple to-do list software to use with minimal onboarding required.

On Any.do, you can create to-do lists and further organize your tasks into subtasks. Doing this helps you to break down complex tasks into smaller actionable subtasks to prevent you from feeling overwhelmed.

Your tasks and calendar are closely knitted together on Any.do. Once you’ve created a task and integrated your preferred digital calendar app, you will be able to see all of your daily and weekly tasks on your calendar. 

If you upgraded your plan to a premium version, you will get access to advanced recurring tasks, which allows you to set a task to repeat at customizable intervals. Taskade would be a better free alternative to Any.do because Taskade allows you to set [recurring tasks](https://www.taskade.com/blog/recurring-tasks-duplicate-nodes-desktop-widget/) even on a free plan.

Any.do is available on most devices and this gives you the ability to be in complete control of your schedule. You can choose to be notified of certain key tasks throughout your day. Any.do’s seamless integration of its task lists with calendars makes it a unique tool to have in your arsenal.

Once you have created a few tasks, you can change your task list view to show you the tasks you have for the day, a weekly view, and even a monthly view. This lets you estimate the workload that you’ll have in store for you.

You can also collaborate with other users on a shared task list. Once a list has been shared, you can then assign tasks and add comments to communicate via the app. This would be ideal if you’re working together on something simple such as a shopping list or planning simple events. 

### What Is Any.do Good For?

Any.do is great for you if you’re a beginner that’s looking for a simple task management tool to organize small tasks and projects. However, Any.do would not be able to handle the demands required by more complex projects and tasks due to its lack of features. 

Taskade is the best free alternative to Any.do when it comes to project management of all complexities. You can create [unlimited tasks and projects](https://help.taskade.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016025193--What-is-Taskade-Unlimited-#:~:text=You%20can%20add%20unlimited%20tasks,file%20attachments%2C%20and%20custom%20workflows.) and [collaborate](https://help.taskade.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041909314--Can-I-collaborate-with-others-) in real-time with as many people as you want even on Taskade’s free plan.

Regardless if you’re an individual or a large company, [Taskade has the right tools](https://www.taskade.com/blog/taskade-review) to help you organize your tasks and get work done the smarter way.

### What Are Some Limitations of Any.do?

Any.do is great if you’re looking for a simple [task management](https://www.taskade.com/blog/project-outliner-task-management/) software to organize your to-do lists. However, there are some limitations that comes with it as well.

Firstly, Any.do’s free version is very limited in terms of features. If you wanted to use the app efficiently, you will have to pay for a premium plan. The free version doesn't allow an integration with Zapier which is required for you to make full use of Any.do’s task management features.

Additionally, the free version limits collaboration as you’re only allowed to share read-only versions of your task lists, and have only 1 shared task with another user.

In contrast, Taskade allows you to collaborate with as many users as you require, even on the free plan. This makes Taskade a better alternative to Any.do when it comes to collaboration. Besides that, Any.do is also quite pricey if you’re looking to upgrade to a paid plan. Taskade offers [more features](https://www.taskade.com/features) even on the free plan. 

Unlike Taskade which offers [many templates for free](https://www.taskade.com/templates), Any.do does not have any templates available even on the free plan. This means that with Taskade, you can get a headstart simply by choosing a template that suits your needs.

Finally, Any.do does not have a built-in chat and video call function within the app. This means that you will need to toggle between different applications if you’re looking to communicate on a project in real-time. In this case, Taskade would be a better alternative for you as Taskade offers free unlimited chat and [video conferencing](https://www.taskade.com/blog/video-conferencing-team-call-chat/) which is built-in to every project. Less toggling, more working!

## How Much Does Any.do cost?

Any.do offers its software in two different plans being the Free plan, and the Premium Plan.

### Any.do Free Plan

Although Any.do’s Free Plan comes with unlimited tasks, it is restrictive and might put you off if you’re looking for a tool to collaborate on for your projects.

The Free Plan allows you to only share one task as a creator, with lists only being able to be shared with a read-only view. Recurring tasks are only available with the free plan and integrations are also locked behind a paywall.

### Any.do Paid Premium Plan

If you’re looking to properly make use of Any.do, you will have to pay for a Premium Plan. The premium plan gives you access to customizable recurring tasks and customizable themes.

You also get the ability to turn WhatsApp messages into tasks in Any.do, plus an added feature of using location based reminders that will trigger when you’re in a given location.

Any.do’s Premium Plan is rather pricey at $5.99 per month (billed monthly) for a simple task management application. In contrast, Taskade offers more features and can be used as a full productivity suite at a [competitive price](https://www.taskade.com/pricing).

## What Is Asana?

Asana is a collaboration and project management software aimed at helping teams get more work done.

It was first created at Facebook as a tool to help people collaborate on projects more efficiently. Codenamed ‘Tasks’, the tool was created by Dustin Moskovitz, who was a co-founder at Facebook, and Justin Rosenstein, an ex-engineer at Facebook.

‘Tasks’ was created because Moskovitz and Rosenstein both realized that it took more time to plan and coordinate work than actually getting work done. The duo left Facebook to co-found Asana in 2008 when they found out that this was a common problem that affected everyone else and not just Facebook employees.

Mark Zuckerberg was an early investor in Asana, and the company had steadily increased its popularity over time. In 2018, Asana raised $125 million in a Series D and Series E funding round to help the company expand globally.

The goal at Asana is to reduce reliance on traditional emails and sync-ups. Instead, the company wants to provide a common space where users can manage projects and find all the information they need to get work done.

Essentially, Asana wants to reduce the need for emails and meetings so that people can spend more time getting actual work done.

## Features of Asana

Being a project management software, Asana is equipped with a multitude of features to help you get more work done.

On Asana, you can create projects and break them down into detailed tasks to help your team visualize the roadmap. Each project workspace comes with a list view to detail the steps needed for the project, conversations to support team communications, a calendar to view the team’s tasks, a project progress view for status updates, and also files to share documents within the team.

Within each task, you can assign it to individual members and set deadlines. Add more information into the task description to hopefully prevent the need to have more meetings to align the deliverables.

If the task is dependent on another task being done first, you can set task dependencies on Asana so that your project flows seamlessly. Additionally, Asana has an approval feature for tasks so that you can approve, request changes, or reject tasks.

Communication in Asana is done mostly within its conversations feature. You can send messages to team conversations to update the whole team working on the same project. Team members can choose to follow conversation threads to stay updated, and also create tasks to move things forward from the chat.

Asana collaborated with Vimeo to launch a video messaging feature. With this feature, you can record video messages and embed them in your workspace to send messages to your team members. Video messages in Asana are also automatically transcribed to help you be more productive.

Asana also integrates with many apps including cloud storage solutions such as Dropbox and Google Drive. This enables you to share information from your preferred storage app.

### What Is Asana Good For?

Asana is good for teams who are looking for a project management tool to plan and execute their projects and tasks. On Asana, you can create, track, and manage projects in their entirety to help streamline your processes.

Asana is usually used by teams, but you can also use it on your own to plan your tasks and projects.

However, some limitations come with Asana that you should consider before deciding on using it.

### What Are Some Limitations of Asana?

Asana has a lot of features, and common complaints include newcomers finding the software hard to use. If you’re new to Asana, chances are that you will need to invest some time in learning how to use the software to your advantage. Without a proper introduction, you will probably feel overwhelmed when using Asana.

It’s good to load a project management tool with features to help users be more productive. But having too many features available might potentially affect your productivity than boost it if you're spending too much time choosing which features to use on each project.

Unlike Taskade, Asana doesn't allow you to export your project to use as part of a presentation. In Taskade, you will be able to [export your project](https://www.taskade.com/blog/export-project-to-image-markdown-plaintext-and-check-all-tasks/) as image, text, and markdown. A key benefit of this feature is that exporting as an image allows you to export your project regardless of which [project view](https://www.taskade.com/blog/taskade-review/#_A_Brief_Introduction_to_Project_Views) you choose.

Asana allows you to assign tasks only to one person. Problems will arise when people leave your projects for various reasons as you will now have to reassign tasks to keep the project moving. With Taskade, you can [assign tasks](https://help.taskade.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042894973--Assign-a-Project-Task-Mention-Filter#:~:text=To%20assign%20a%20task%2C%20click,%2DSelect%2FBulk%20Assign%20Tasks!) to multiple members including yourself to provide more clarity on who’s working on each task.

Although Asana was built to help with collaboration, communicating in Asana can be quite tedious. To chat with your team members, you will need to toggle to the conversations tab. If a specific project requires more alignment, you will find yourself toggling between features to get tasks done.

In contrast, Taskade has a built-in [free unlimited chat and video call](https://www.taskade.com/uses/video-chat) functionality in every project so that you can chat and get work done simultaneously in one unified workspace. This makes Taskade a better alternative to Asana when it comes to real-time collaboration and communication.

## Asana Pricing

Asana comes in 4 different pricing tiers which include Asana Basic, Premium, Business, and Enterprise.

### Asana Basic Plan

Asana’s Basic Plan is free for anyone new to Asana and project management software. The free version includes unlimited projects and tasks with an upload limit of 100MB per file. With the free version, you will be able to collaborate with 14 other members on projects with access to multiple project views.

The Basic Plan also comes with unlimited messages and a wide range of integrations with other software and apps.

### Asana Premium Plan

Asana’s Premium Plan adds a project timeline feature into your project management alongside other features. You will gain access to an admin console which gives allows you to manage members across your team or organization.

The Premium Plan is best used for teams of more than 15 people that require project management software to map out entire projects. Processes can also be cleaned up by using forms to request assets.

Although Asana’s Premium Plan has a lot of features and can be used for detailed workflows, it starts at a rather steep price of $10.99 per month for each user.

### Asana Business Plan

Asana’s Business Plan brings you one step further by giving you access to even more features. You will gain access to Goals, which can be used to align everyone in your business to a common goal. The Goals feature shows everyone in your business how each project contributes to the company’s goals, which can have a positive impact on motivation.

The Business Plan also gives you access to Portfolios, which gives you a high-level overview of all your projects. With Portfolios, you can check the status of your projects, to see if any of them are at risk of getting off track.

Another neat feature that you’ll gain access to is the ability to assess your team’s workload for individual members. With this feature, you can distribute work more equally amongst employees.

Asana’s Business plan starts at $24.99 per month for each user.

### Asana Enterprise Plan

Asana also has an Enterprise Plan which unlocks all of its features to help boost productivity. The Enterprise Plan is best suited for large organizations that are looking to use Asana as a holistic solution to business needs.

The Enterprise Plan also provides advanced security features, admin controls, and priority support.

The price for this plan varies per organization.

## What Is Basecamp?

Formerly known as 37signals, Basecamp is one of the pioneers of online project management. The American company was originally founded by Jason Fried, Carlos Segura, and Ernest Kim in 1999. 

Production of the Basecamp software officially commenced in 2003 and it was created using Ruby on Rails, a framework that Basecamp had created for internal use. Ruby on Rails ended up being a byproduct of Basecamp and was made into open-source software in 2004.

37signals was renamed Basecamp in 2014. This marked a shift in the overall company strategy which was to now shift all resources into perfecting the project management software, Basecamp.

As a project management software, Basecamp was created as a tool to help businesses organize projects and collaborate online. Basecamp quickly gained popularity upon release as it was one of the first to offer a new way of collaboration and organization.

With Basecamp, individuals and companies can manage and track projects while communicating, all via one software. Basecamp is usually offered as an all-in-one software to help companies get work done. However, Basecamp also prices its product at a premium price when compared to its competitors.

Read our article if you’re interested to learn more about the [full history of Basecamp](https://www.taskade.com/blog/basecamp-history/).

## Features of Basecamp

Basecamp is an all-in-one project management software that aims to help companies get work done more efficiently. You can use Basecamp to organize your projects and make sure that everyone in your team is on the same page.



In Basecamp, you can organize your teams by creating projects. Each project is equipped with tools to help you get work done. 



This includes a message board, a to-do list, a daily schedule, docs & files to share common downloadable files, and campfire for basic chat within the project or team. You have the freedom to rename these tools and also integrate them with other apps to personalize your workspace.



You can have multiple projects within Basecamp, each with a different set of people working together. Additionally, you can also organize people from different teams based on their organizational function as well such as Marketing, IT, HR, and more.



Each team workspace will also have the same set of tools to help you communicate and collaborate with each other.



On a company level, you can align everyone on the company HQ workspace. In this workspace, you can utilize Basecamp’s automatic check-in feature to get a gist of how the team is functioning throughout the day.

### What Is Basecamp Good For?

As a project management tool, Basecamp is best suited for new startups and individuals. Basecamp is usually used by small marketing teams to organize their projects. Features such as organizing your team based on projects make Basecamp a simple solution to help smaller teams get their work done.



Remote teams can also find a use for Basecamp as features such as the to-do list and message board can help remote workers align across timezones.



You can also use Basecamp individually to help organize your work. However, Basecamp’s free plan only comes with 3 projects and is rather thin on features. You could potentially use Basecamp to organize basic individual projects. 



Additionally, Basecamp does have some templates available but these are only available after upgrading your plan. In contrast, Taskade has a [wide variety of templates](https://www.taskade.com/templates) for you to use even on a free plan.



However, it probably isn't worth upgrading your plan with Basecamp as there are other productivity tools available in the market that offer more features, for even less.



If you’re a business that deals with clients daily, Basecamp’s client access feature could save you some trouble. This feature allows you to give limited access to certain projects for your clients. This can be useful to give your clients visibility on the current status of your project without the need of having constant status updates.

### What Are Some Limitations of Basecamp?

Although Basecamp is one of the first project management software to launch in the market, there are a few limitations that you should be aware of.



Basecamp lacks features that are commonly found in its competitors. For example, Taskade offers [customizable project views](https://www.taskade.com/blog/taskade-review/#_A_Brief_Introduction_to_Project_Views), [customizable templates](https://www.taskade.com/templates), and also [free unlimited chat and video calls](https://www.taskade.com/uses/video-chat) within your project. Basecamp however only has isolated project views and card-based templates without a built-in video call function.



Here are some other common pain points for users of Basecamp:



* Messy Chat. Basecamp’s chat is rather messy, especially with long threads of back and forth exchanges.
* Features Are Basic. Basecamp has fairly basic features when compared to other modern-day project management tools.
* No Timer. There is no built-in timer in Basecamp. The timer feature is only available via integrations.
* No Tags and Labels. Basecamp does not have tags and labels to help you organize your work.



Also, Basecamp lacks a function to help you toggle between different projects. This means that it will be a hassle for you to switch between projects if you’re working on multiple things simultaneously.



Furthermore, Basecamp comes with only one pricing plan which is expensive. Basecamp’s competitors offer similar or more features at competitive prices.

## Basecamp Pricing

Basecamp has a very simple pricing structure. There’s a free version of the software, and also a paid version which comes at a standard monthly fee.

Also, Basecamp is free for all teachers and students. Nonprofit organizations enjoy a 10% discount from Basecamp’s paid subscription.

### Basecamp Free Plan

Basecamp’s Free plan allows you to have up to 3 separate projects. Your plan will also support up to 20 users with 1GB of total storage. This should suffice for individuals or new startups. 

### Basecamp Business Plan

Basecamp’s Business plan unlocks all of its features and gives you access to the company HQ and unlimited users. You’ll also be able to give clients restricted access to certain documents and projects to help with your business functions.

If you want to effectively organize and run your business on Basecamp, then you should consider this plan.

However, Basecamp’s Business plan starts at a **flat fee of $99 per month**, which is rather steep compared to other project management apps which offer the same or even more features for less.

## What Is Bitrix24?

Bitrix24 is an all-in-one Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform that was founded by Sergey Rizhikov in 2012. It is a cloud based software that can be used as a hub for you to centralize all communications and work processes within your business.



On Bitrix24, you can manage all internal and external communications, manage projects, share files, and collaborate with your team. The CRM platform has a plethora of tools for you to make use of to get your work done.



Bitrix24 is one of the most popular CRM platforms with over 10 million users across the world. Other similar alternatives to Bitrix24 include Taskade, [Basecamp](https://www.taskade.com/compare/free-basecamp-alternative), [Monday](https://www.taskade.com/compare/free-mondaycom-alternative), [Asana](https://www.taskade.com/compare/free-asana-alternative), and [Jira](https://www.taskade.com/compare/free-jira-alternative).

## What Features Does Bitrix24 Have?

Bitrix24 has many features and can be used to do multiple things. However, today we will be taking a look specifically at its project management and other similar features.



Amongst other things, Bitrix24 can be used to help you manage your projects. You can create tasks and projects, both of which are housed in different tabs within your workspace. [Tasks can be created as a checklist](https://www.taskade.com/blog/checklist-template-remote-team-tips/) so that you can check off subtasks as you go along. On Bitrix24, projects are a collection of tasks that contribute to the completion of the project.



To help you visualize your projects, Bitrix24 has a Kanban and an Efficiency view. The Kanban view works similarly with other [popular Kanban board applications](https://www.taskade.com/blog/best-kanban-board-apps/). The Kanban process helps you break down projects into smaller task cards so that you can visualize the entirety of your project. On the other hand, the Efficiency view gives you a productivity report so that you can track the progress made on your project.



When managing projects regardless of size and complexity, [internal communication within your team](https://www.taskade.com/blog/remote-work-increase-internal-team-communication/) is key. Without proper communication, your project is doomed to fail. Bitrix24 offers a communication solution for your team. The CRM suite has a Chat and Calls tool within it to help you communicate with your team members via chat, and video & voice calls.



Additionally, external communication can also be managed with Bitrix24. All of your emails are automatically tagged to the appropriate CRM records, and all instant messages are automatically relayed into Bitrix24. These messages are also recorded so that you can review them at a later stage.



Bitrix24 has many more features included in its suite. This includes document management, time management, and even human resource solutions. There is also a mind map integration that can let you create mind maps on Bitrix24. Check out our [complete guide on how to get started with mind mapping](https://www.taskade.com/blog/mind-map-ultimate-guide/) to become an expert in mind mapping!

## What Is Bitrix24 Good For?

Bitrix24 is an all-in-one platform that can be used to serve multiple use-cases including:

* Simple project management
* As a communication hub
* Using it as a hub for all business processes
* Customer relationship management

### What Are Some Limitations of Bitrix24?

Even though it is an all-in-one tool, Bitrix24 does not have advanced features for project management. Sure you can manage projects via the Kanban view, but by doing this you’re essentially losing out on other potential methods of visualizing your project. 



For example, Taskade allows you to visualize your data with a List, Kanban Board, Mind Map, Action, and even an Org Chart view with our free plan. What’s more, Taskade’s built-in chat and call feature on every project means that you can communicate and collaborate with your team members for free, all in one single workspace.



Being loaded with features also means that Bitrix24 is a difficult tool to master. It will take plenty of onboarding time to ensure that new hires understand how your business operates on Bitrix24.

## How Much Does Bitrix24 Cost?

Bitrix24 comes in 4 different price points which are its Free plan, Basic plan, Standard plan, and Professional plan. Something to take note of is that these prices are for all users - meaning that you pay one price for everyone on your team to get onboard Bitrix24.



Bitrix24 Free Plan

* Unlimited records
* 5GB storage limit
* Email marketing
* Free call center



Bitrix 24 Basic Plan ($49/month)

* Screen sharing
* 24GB storage limit
* Webmail access

Bitrix24 Professional Plan ($199/month)

## What Is ClickUp?

ClickUp is a project management software that was founded by Alex Yurkowski and Zeb Evans in 2017. The project management platform is usually used by individuals and teams to organize projects and tasks.

ClickUp quickly gained popularity when it was released to the market and today, it is a company that is valued at around $4 billion. Recently in 2021, ClickUp raised $400 million in a Series C funding round. It is also reported that ClickUp has around 4 million users using its platform. What makes this company so popular amongst other similar task management tools in the market?

Part of ClickUp’s popularity comes from it wanting to be the only productivity tool that users will ever need. Although there are limitations to ClickUp which will be covered in the coming sections below, ClickUp does offer a customizable approach to individual tasks and project management.

This means that individuals and teams of all sizes are able to use ClickUp to increase their productivity. You can use ClickUp to create and monitor personal and group projects, making it a versatile tool to have in your arsenal.

On ClickUp, your Workspace represents your business and is further divided into Spaces that break down your business into its functions such as ‘Finance’ or ‘Marketing’. Within these spaces, Folders containing Tasks and Lists are housed within them.

After creating projects, you can assign tasks to your team members with specific due dates to ensure that your project flows as smoothly as possible. Check out some of ClickUp’s features below.

## Features of ClickUp

ClickUp is loaded with features to help you better manage your projects. Similar to Taskade, ClickUp offers [multiple views](https://help.taskade.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016023373--Project-Views) for you to choose from including a List view, Board view, Calendar view, Gantt view, and more.

The List and Board views can get pretty clunky if you have multiple tasks going on at the same time. If you’re keeping track of multiple tasks and projects at the same time, the Calendar view might be a better option for you. The main idea is to let you choose the view that best fits your requirements.

After creating a task on ClickUp, you will be able to add notes, drag and drop files related to the task, and break down the task further into actionable subtasks. Tasks can be assigned to multiple people, and you can also assign people to be ‘Watchers’ on certain tasks. This means that they will receive notifications when there are updates for those tasks.

Once you get started on a task, you can set the status of the task to keep everyone on your team aligned on the progress of each task and subtask. For example, you can set the status of a task to ‘Doing’ whilst having a few subtasks ‘Closed’ to state that you’re midway through said task.

Communication is essential to the success of team projects. ClickUp also functions as a collaboration tool as it offers a comments section on each task to allow you to leave comments and chat with your teammates. You will get an email notification when you’re assigned a task or when there’s a comment on your project, ensuring that you stay updated every step of the way.

Comments can also be turned into an actionable task and assigned to your team members. This allows you to quickly assign suggested changes or additional tasks for your project. Assigned tasks can then be resolved, which gives you a notification so that you can keep track of your team’s progress.

ClickUp also integrates with thousands of other apps so that you can work on your project using your favorite tools. Although it might be a hassle to choose from the many integrations that are available, this can be a useful feature for you if you already know exactly what tools you need for your projects.

### What Is ClickUp Good For?

ClickUp is a versatile project management tool that can be used whether if you’re working individually or in a team. The customization features on ClickUp means that you can use it to tackle individual tasks and even complex projects.

If you’re a project manager, ClickUp should work for you as it helps you keep track of tasks and subtasks. This helps you ensure that each project flows as it’s intended to, keeping an eye on every step towards completion.

You can also use ClickUp to plan your daily tasks and individual projects as well. ClickUp’s free version gives you access to unlimited tasks and collaborations as well. This allows you to create as many tasks as you need to with the option to collaborate with other users as well.

### What Are Some Limitations of ClickUp?

Although ClickUp is a versatile project management tool, there are limitations that come with it as well. 

First of all, being loaded with features means that ClickUp has a steep learning curve before you can fully utilize its full potential. Without a proper onboarding session, you will most probably be lost and overwhelmed with ClickUp. On the other hand, this makes Taskade a better free alternative to ClickUp as despite Taskade having a large number of [features](https://www.taskade.com/features), it is both intuitive and easy to use.

ClickUp can integrate with a large number of other tools. Thousands, to be exact. Although this may give you the option to choose from a large number of tools, it can actually be counterintuitive, especially in newer teams that are unsure of exactly what tools to use for a particular project.

Projects require a large amount of communication in order to be successful, and this is exactly where ClickUp lacks firepower. You can create a Chat view in ClickUp to communicate with your team, but that just means that you have to take additional steps just to communicate. ClickUp also does not have a built-in video call function.

This makes Taskade the best free alternative to ClickUp because Taskade offers a [free unlimited chat](https://help.taskade.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016025033--Chat-and-Messaging) and [video call functionality](https://www.taskade.com/blog/video-conferencing-team-call-chat/) that is built-in to every project, allowing you to [communicate and collaborate](https://www.taskade.com/blog/remote-communication-distributed-team/) with your team members in real-time.

## How Much Does ClickUp Cost?

ClickUp offers its software in a few different tiers. There’s the Free Forever plan, Unlimited plan, Business plan, Business Plus plan, and Enterprise plan for large organizations.

### ClickUp Free Forever Plan

ClickUp’s Free Forever plan comes loaded with features and should suffice if you’re an individual trying to organize your tasks. Similar to [Taskade’s Free Plan](https://www.taskade.com/blog/free-upgrade-personal-remote-teams/), ClickUp’s Free plan comes with unlimited tasks and members.

It also comes with email notifications and [multiple board views](https://www.taskade.com/blog/visual-team-mindmap-kanban-outline-charts/) to help you visualize your projects and tasks.

However, you’re limited to 100mb of storage and also wont have access to integrations.

### ClickUp Unlimited Plan

If you’re part of a small team, ClickUp’s Unlimited plan has features to help you get more work done. It includes unlimited storage and gives you access to integrations.

You will also be able to create unlimited dashboards and control permissions for guests to your projects.

ClickUp’s Unlimited Plan starts at $5 per month for each user.

### ClickUp Business Plan

If you have a slightly bigger team, ClickUp has a Business plan which offers even more features.

The Business plan is a must for project managers looking to manage complex projects. This plan gives you access to ClickUp using Google Single Sign-On service, saving you some time. You’ll also get access to custom reporting and be able to create unlimited teams.

ClickUp’s Business plan starts at $12 per month for each member.

### Clickup Business Plus Plan

The Business Plan is meant for users who manage multiple teams. It adds more customization when it comes to role creations and permissions, and gives your team the ability to have more automated processes as well.

The Business Plus Plan starts at $19 per month for each user. 

If for some reason you require an Enterprise plan, you will have to get in touch with ClickUp’s sales team.

However, if you wanted to pay one simple price to unlock all of the features that you’ll need to manage everything you need to, Taskade offers [more attractive features at a competitive price](https://www.taskade.com/pricing).

## What Is Coda.io?

Coda.io was founded by Shishir Mehrotra and Alex DeNeui in 2014. Mehrotra had previously been a head of product at YouTube, where he managed his team mainly using Google Sheets and Google Docs. The idea behind Coda was to create a modern-day tool that people could use to get more work done.

Mehrotra and DeNeui developed Coda in a closed beta version and eventually made it available to the public in 2019. During its development phase, Coda was codenamed Krypton. In 2017, the founders raised $60million to help with their development.

Essentially, Coda works like [Google Docs](https://www.taskade.com/compare/free-google-docs-alternative) if it had been created for modern teams. Each document starts as a clean slate that contains customizable blocks. The vision behind Coda was to create software that allows you to manage projects from start to finish individually or even as a team.

If used properly, documents in Coda have the potential to be as powerful as an app as users are able to create customizable workspaces to meet their needs, which mirrors [Notion](https://www.taskade.com/compare/free-notion-alternative).

## What Features Does Coda.io Have?

Using a docs style layout with fully customizable blocks means that users have the ability to create personalized workflows with Coda. Coda’s software allows you to blend spreadsheets and word processing with database storage functionality. 

Think of it as a document with the potential to be as powerful as an app.

On Coda, you start with a simple document page that blends tables and text together, allowing you to build a fully customized workspace to manage your projects. Each workspace is organized in sections and folders. Sections are equivalent to a note or a doc, while folders store multiple sections inside them.

Sections are then further broken down into blocks, which can be edited to fit your needs. Coda supports text formatting and you can use blocks to create tables, cards, calendars, and more. 

If you’re savvy with spreadsheets, you’ll be glad to know that you can use formulas in Coda as well. 

Coda also supports integrations, which are called Packs. You can use Packs to connect your Coda document with your favorite apps, which allows you to automate workflows and pull data from other sources.

Starting a project from a blank slate can be a daunting task, and Coda attempts to make it easier for users by providing templates. However, Taskade has a [wide range of templates](https://www.taskade.com/templates) that are fully customizable to help you get started according to your needs.

### What Is Coda Good For?

Every Coda.io document page starts empty, which means that you can use it to input your data on fully customizable blocks. Coda is a flexible tool that can be used to support various functions such as a company wiki, accounting, project management, and more.

Although you can use Coda.io for simple project management, we wouldn't recommend using it for more complex projects. This is because, despite its wide range of features, Coda.io does have its limitations as well.

### What Are Some Limitations of Coda?

Even though Coda.io has various uses, we wouldn't recommend the software if you’re looking for a tool to manage teams and projects with. This is because Coda.io lacks built-in communication features.

Sure, you can integrate with other tools to open up another tab to have real-time meetings, but why go through that hassle when Taskade offers you free unlimited real-time [chat and video conferencing](https://www.taskade.com/uses/video-chat) that’s built-in to all your projects?

Being loaded with features makes Coda.io non-beginner friendly. If you’re used to customizable docs or if you already have an idea in mind, then Coda will work for you. If you’re a complete beginner that’s looking for a tool to be more productive, you’ll find that Coda.io requires a steep onboarding process for you to completely understand how to use the software to your advantage.

If you’re here, it probably is because you’re looking for [software to manage your projects and to-do lists](https://www.taskade.com), and Coda.io simply isn’t intuitive enough to help you do this efficiently.

How Much Does Coda.io cost?

Coda.io is free to use. However, you can choose to upgrade to a paid plan if you require more features.

### Coda.io Free Plan

Coda’s Free Plan allows you to create up to 1000 rows and 50 objects on your documents. Other basic features such as formulas and pulling data from external sources are available in the free plan as well.

### Coda.io Pro Plan

Coda’s Pro Plan lets you create documents without limits and also has a 30-day version history for you to revert to a previous document version. You also have the added ability to archive older pages and get access to more Pack integrations.

The Pro Plan starts at $10 per month for each Doc Maker.

### Coda.io Team Plan

Coda.io’s Team Plan is steep, coming in at $30 per month for each Doc Maker. This plan gives you unlimited automations and unlimited version history as well. Additionally, you will also be able to lock your docs to prevent other users from editing them. If that's not enough, you can also create private invite-only docs to protect sensitive information.

For added security and support features, Coda also has an Enterprise plan available which you’ll have to contact them to know more about.

## What Is Dynalist?

Dynalist is an outliner tool that was founded by Shida Li and Erica Xu. Dynalist was created after the two founders found that [Workflowy](https://www.taskade.com/compare/free-workflowy-alternative), another outliner, was lacking in certain features to help them get work done. Inspired by the idea of creating a more powerful tool, the pair created Omniflow in 2015, which was later renamed Dynalist.

Being an outliner software, Dynalist can be used as a [collaborative note-taking](https://www.taskade.com/blog/remote-teams-stay-organized-with-collaborative-note-taking/) tool to help you [take notes hierarchically](https://www.taskade.com/blog/hierarchical-thinking-tree-structure-checklist/). Much like Workflowy, the main idea behind Dynalist is for you to be able to organize information in a way that helps you with recall, much like a [second brain](https://www.taskade.com/blog/build-a-second-brain-remote-distributed-teams/). If you’re interested in finding out more about the second brain, check out our [review on building a second brain](https://www.taskade.com/blog/building-a-second-brain-review/).

In recent times, Li and Xu recently released [Obsidian.md](https://www.taskade.com/compare/free-obsidian-alternative) as their flagship product. Following this, they also made an announcement via a Dynalist blog post that they won’t be updating Dynalist as frequently from now on.

## What Are Some Features of Dynalist?

Dynalist is an outliner software. It has features to help you with note-taking and also with project and task management. On Dynalist, you can list down your ideas hierarchically and keep breaking them down to gain a firm understanding and understand things better. What’s more, Dynalist is also available on all devices, meaning that you can take notes and manage your to-do lists from anywhere.

To help you manage your notes, Dynalist lets you group similar concepts together using tags to help you filter through your notes. Besides that, Dynalist has pretty standard features that you would expect to see in an outliner app. Some of these features include:

* Markdown formatting
* Tags
* Colored labels
* Headings (H1, H2, H3)
* Internal linking 

In terms of task and project management, Dynalist has standard features to help you manage your to-do lists. Task management is done by creating a checklist on Dynalist. After populating your checklist with tasks, you can set due dates and also set a task to repeat if it’s a recurring one.

However, Dynalist lacks the ability to assign tasks to your teammates, which means that the only way to assign tasks is to communicate the task to them via another application.

Dynalist also supports integration with Google Calendar so that you can sync your to-do list and view them on your Google Calendar.

## What Is Dynalist Good For?

Dynalist is a simple outliner application that can be used to manage simple tasks. Here are some good use-cases for Dynalist:

* Note-taking
* [Personal Knowledge Management tool](https://www.taskade.com/blog/personal-knowledge-management-pkm-guide/)
* Simple personal task lists
* Personal project management
* Basic collaborative note-taking

### What Are Some Limitations of Dynalist?

One of the main limitations of Dynalist is that it lacks solid collaboration features. Even though it is a good outliner for personal use, Dynalist lacks a built-in chat function and also doesn’t have an assign task feature. In contrast, [Taskade](/) offers [unlimited chat](https://help.taskade.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016025033--Chat-and-Messaging) and [video conferences for free](https://help.taskade.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015915994--Free-Unlimited-Video-Conferencing-Calling) to enable you to communicate and collaborate on one single app, making Taskade a better free alternative to Dynalist.

Furthermore, the developers of Dynalist have shifted their focus to developing Obsidian.md, which means that Dynalist will not see many major new features in the future.

## How Much Does Dynalist Cost?

Dynalist offers its product in two simple plans.

Dynalist Free

* Unlimited items and documents
* Internal linking
* Markdown formatting
* Tags
* 5 bookmarks
* Sharing and collaboration

Dynalist Pro ($7.99/user per month)

## What Is Evernote?

Evernote is a digital note-taking application. It was founded by Russian engineer Stepan Pachikov, who was fascinated by the way that humans store information. He created Evernote to help people organize their thoughts and store more information.

Pachikov started working on an Evernote prototype in 2002. He worked on it for 6 years before feeling confident enough to beta launch the product to a limited audience. After its launch, Evernote grew exponentially and had more than 10 million users by the end of 2011.

Coincidentally, Evernote also became profitable in 2011, with a reported sales figure of around $16 million for that year.

Evernote pioneered digital note-taking and remains one of the most popular note-taking apps today. If you’re interested in a more in-depth discussion on Evernote’s history from day 1 to what it is today, check out [our article on it](https://www.taskade.com/blog/evernote-history/)!

## Features of Evernote

In essence, Evernote is best described as a digital notebook with added features. Evernote’s concept is simple, you create notes which are then stored inside notebooks. You can add tags to your notes in order to keep them organized. 

However, this can get pretty clunky especially if you’re a heavy note-taker. This is where Evernote’s built-in search function comes into play; allowing you to search for notes using keywords and phrases.

Evernote is also known for its Web Clipper feature. You can download an extension that allows you to clip parts or even entire web pages and paste them into Evernote. Clipped web pages can then be highlighted to emphasize key points, and will also remain stored in the app until you delete them.

You can use Evernote’s templates to get you started on tasks that require more structure such as creating a story dashboard or even a monthly calendar to get yourself organized. This can be a helpful feature to help you kickstart your projects.

An interesting thing that Pachikov did with Evernote is that he implemented a feature to recognize handwritten notes. This was a page he took from a tool he created called ‘Calligrapher’ in his earlier days which recognized handwritten input on devices. In Evernote, handwritten notes can be captured via an in-app camera.

If you’re big on keeping organized, you can utilize widgets to reduce clutter on your Evernote homepage. However, this will require you to upgrade your free account.

Evernote is a good tool to use if you’re into note-taking. Regardless of length, note-taking is a breeze on Evernote due to its notebook-style design. There are good formatting options available when crafting notes and the interface encourages you to have a good writing flow. 

Some digital note-taking apps struggle when it comes to long-form notes, but not Evernote. In fact, its templates make it even easier for you to structure your thoughts when writing longer notes. 

Evernote is good for you if you need a tool to help you with heavier note-taking. Its web-clipper extension is also a handy feature to have for research as it allows you to snip content from the web and paste it on Evernote. Snipped content can also be highlighted to emphasize key areas.

However, Evernote falls short when it comes to collaboration. Even when you purchase a Team Plan which is catered towards teams who want to collaborate on documents, you will still be unable to collaborate in real-time.

### What Are Some Limitations of Evernote?

Although Evernote excels when it comes to taking personal notes, it falls short when it comes to collaboration. Even if you paid for a Team Plan, which unlocks all of Evernote’s features, it would still be hard for you to collaborate with your team.

The main issue with this is that Evernote does not support real-time collaboration. Even with a Team Plan subscription, you will be unable to edit notes alongside your team members. Only one person can be working on a note at any given time. If two users edit the note at the same time, another copy of the note will be created. This creates a logistical nightmare.

Additionally, Evernote lacks a chat and video call function. Although this is not a requirement in a note-taking point of view, having it handy assists in collaboration and productivity as it negates the need for you to toggle between apps to get your work done. 

With Taskade, you’re able to work on notes in real-time with your team. There is also a free built-in chat and video call function so that you can collaborate with your team in real-time without having to toggle between apps. 

Evernote also falls short in other areas as well.

For example, although Evernote positions itself as a productivity app, it is more of a note-taking tool that has productivity features. However, to get access to these features, you will have to pay and upgrade your plan. Productivity tools such as Taskade have multitudes of features that allow for seamless note-taking and real-time collaboration even on a free plan.

If you’re a religious note-taker, you might run into some issues with Evernote. Evernote uses tags to keep your notes organized within notebooks. When you start to create more notes and tags, your tags and notes will get drowned.

However, utilizing the search function in Evernote should help you find the note that you’re looking for.

## Evernote Pricing

Evernote has 4 pricing tiers which include the Free Plan, Personal Plan, Professional Plan, and Team Plan. In 2016, Evernote increased the prices for all of its plans and also removed some features from its free version. Find out more about the plans below.

### Evernote Free Plan

Evernote’s Free Plan comes with unlimited notes and notebooks with access to templates. Even though there is an upload limit of 25MB per note and 60MB total monthly upload size, this plan should be sufficient for beginner note-takers.

You won’t be able to customize your dashboard and will also be limited to syncing your account between 2 devices only. If you require sync between more devices, you will have to pay for a Personal Plan.

### Evernote Personal Plan

Evernote’s Personal Plan unlocks a few more features to help you in your note-taking. For starters, your monthly upload limit will be bumped up to 10GB with a maximum note size of 200MB.

You will also be able to utilize Evernote’s search function to search in PDFs, and also forward your emails into Evernote to help with your productivity. 

The Personal Plan is useful if you’re planning to use Evernote to organize your day-to-day activities.Evernote’s Personal Plan starts from $7.99 per month

### Evernote Professional Plan

Evernote’s Professional Plan is for you if you’re looking to utilize more of Evernote’s productivity features and use it as a hub to store most of your information. You’ll get access to even more features such as a monthly upload limit of 20GB and a fully customizable home page.

You will also be able to assign tasks with this plan.

Evernote’s Professional Plan starts from $9.99 per month.

### Evernote Team Plan

Evernote also has a Team Plan that allows you and your team to collaborate with all features made available. Think of collaborative spaces as shared notebooks between you and your team.

However, Evernote’s team plan lacks proper collaboration tools to justify the steep price. Real-time collaboration isn’t supported as only one person can edit a note at any given time. Having another team member editing the note at the same time as you will cause a duplicate to be formed.

There is also a lack of a built-in chat and video conferencing feature which means that you will have to use a different tool to communicate with your team.

Evernote’s Team Plan starts at $14.99 per month.

The Best Free `Evernote Alternative`

Taskade is the best free alternative to Evernote. Take notes online and easily manage projects and tasks with your team via built in collaboration tools.


The Best Free Evernote Alternative

## What Is Google Docs?

Google Docs is an online collaborative word processor that was launched by Google in 2006. Google created Google Docs after acquiring Writely in 2006. Writely was an online word processor created by Upstartle and Google built on that foundation to create Google Docs. 

Today, Google Docs is a vital part of the GSuite experience and is a popular tool that is used by many people around the world to collaborate and get work done. As part of the GSuite ecosystem, Google Docs integrates with other Google applications including [Google Keep](https://www.taskade.com/blog/google-keep-vs-evernote/), which is Google’s version of a note-taking tool.

Google's strategic acquisition of companies enabled them to add useful features to Google Docs. For example, acquiring DocVerse enabled them to improve online collaboration while acquiring Quickoffice helped them improve compatibility with mobile devices.

Google Docs is frequently compared to Microsoft Word as it is a free alternative to the latter. It can be used via browser and also via mobile as an iOS and Android app. With Google Docs, you can edit and collaborate on shared documents with others online. 

## Features of Google Docs

Google Docs is widely used today as it is a good tool to have for editing documents and collaborating with others online.

Editing documents in real-time with your team is easy to do with Google Docs. You simply need to share the document with your team members and ensure that they have editing rights. Alternatively, you can also restrict access to view only, or comment only. 

View-only access is good if you’re sharing documents outside of your business, while comments-only access allows your team members to give their comments on certain parts of the document. When commenting on the document, you can assign action items to team members so that they will get an email notification on their tasks.

This is especially handy when vetting through the work of a new staff member so that you can give comments on their work, getting them up to speed even quicker. You can also suggest changes within the document so that your team members can see exactly what you had in mind, before accepting the changes.

After sharing the document with your team, there will be an option for you to chat on the document itself. However, this chat function is very basic and is best used for quick clarifications and alignment.

Google Docs also has offline support so that you can edit your documents even without an internet connection. Your data will be synced on the cloud once you reconnect to the internet. Additionally, Google stores your document history in their servers so that you can revert back to a previous version if anything goes wrong. 

### What Is Google Docs Good For?

Google Docs is best used for drafting long-form articles and outlines. It has a wide array of formatting options that allows you to easily type out large chunks of text. You can turn on its built-in autocorrect feature to make sure that your spelling and grammar are on point.

It is also common for teams to collaborate on Google Docs. This is because Google Docs supports real-time collaboration with up to 100 other people at the same time. 

The simple chat box feature also allows you to quickly send messages to your team members working on the same document. However, it is common for teams to toggle between Google Docs and another tool to communicate better as the chat function in Google Docs is fairly basic.

### What Are Some Limitations of Google Docs?

Although Google Docs is a good tool to use when taking long-form notes, there are also some limitations that come with it.

Real-time communication within Google Docs is tricky as it only supports a basic chat function. The chat function is also not intuitive to use, which means that it takes some figuring out if you want to use it properly with your teammates.

In this sense, Taskade is the best free alternative to Google Docs when it comes to collaboration. This is because Taskade allows you to take long-form notes while supporting real-time editing and communication via built-in chat and video conferencing. This means that you can focus without having to break your flow by toggling between apps.

Even though Google Docs is good for taking notes, it simply doesn’t offer more than that. Tools such as Taskade allow you to take long-form notes, collaborate and communicate with your team in real-time. If you’re looking for a free all-in-one tool to take notes, to-do lists,  manage projects, and more, Taskade is your best alternative to Google Docs.

## Is Google Docs Free?

Google Docs is free to use. You simply have to access it via your Google account to get started.

## What Is Google Keep?

Google Keep is a digital note-taking software that was launched as part of Google Suite in 2013. When it was first released, Google Keep was given good reviews due to its lean design and simplicity. This meant that it was a simple note-taking tool that was also quick.

It was only later in 2016 that Google Keep started to get mixed reviews. Part of these reviews came from users that found it hard to take long-form notes with the inability to format notes and change workspace views on Google Keep. Generally, good reviews for Google Keep come from it being a note-taking app that is simple and accessible.

Users can choose between a list view or grid view on their board. Notes can also be color-coded or customized with an in-built background. Important notes can be pinned to the top and Google Keep’s lean design makes it an intuitive note-taking app to use.

You can also collaborate on Google Keep to take simple notes together or share to-do lists with other users.

You can also use Google Keep to collaborate with other users on simple notes and even share to-do lists. The only prerequisite to this is that other users must also sign in to their Google account to use Google Keep.

In 2021, Google discontinued Google Keep’s Chrome app. However, the popular note-taking tool can still be accessed via web browsers and other apps.

## Features of Google Keep

Besides customizing backgrounds, Google Keep does have a few useful features to help you take simple notes online. However, the software is only equipped with minimal features to keep things simple.

You can transcribe voice recordings into your notes on Google Keep. To do this, record your voice using the app and your voice will automatically be transcribed in real-time. This is a useful feature to have if you get a sudden hit of inspiration while being unable to type out your notes.

If you enjoy drawing, you can add doodles to your notes. Simply draw and save your doodles on your notes within Google Keep. If you prefer to express your thoughts via drawings, then this feature will come in handy for you.

Google Keep does not have formatting options and this makes it hard for you to take long-form and detailed notes. However, you can transfer your notes into Google Docs easily. Although it takes an extra step to transfer notes from Google Keep to Google Docs, you should be able to continue your long-form note-taking process.

You can organize your notes via labels and also use Google Keep’s search function to locate specific notes. However, if you’re a heavy note-taker, your Google Keep home page will get messier as you take more notes. Unlike Taskade which is more robust, Google Keep does not have the [organizational features that Taskade offers](https://www.taskade.com/blog/project-outliner-task-management/).

Being a simple note-taking tool, Google Keep offers a basic collaboration feature. Simply click on your note and add a collaborator to start taking notes together in real-time. However, this will only work for simple notes. This is because Google Keep lacks a built-in chat feature, making it harder for you and your team to align on ideas.

### What Is Google Keep Good For?

Due to its simplicity, Google Keep is best for beginners and casual note-takers. The app makes it easy for you to take notes and create simple to-do lists.

Its collaboration feature is best used for simple tasks such as a collaborative grocery list or a family to-do list. Google Keep excels at being a simple note-taking app, but it lacks features that are essential to help you boost your productivity.

We wouldn’t recommend Google Keep if you require heavier note-taking or tasks that require more collaboration. This is because Google Keep’s lack of formatting options makes it hard to create long-form notes. Furthermore, Google Keep was built for simple notes and not heavier tasks such as project management.

### What Are Some Limitations of Google Keep?

Google Keep’s simple design is both its benefit and a limitation. While this makes it a simple tool to use, Google Keep’s simple design also means that it is just a note-taking app, and not a full productivity software. 

As a note-taking tool, having no formatting options puts Google Keep at a disadvantage compared to other note-taking apps such as [Evernote](https://www.taskade.com/blog/evernote-history/). 

Also, since you’re unable to create multiple workspaces or projects in Google Keep, your home page will get messier as you take more notes. Toggling between the two views that are offered does little to help reduce clutter.

Collaboration within Google Keep is also kept to a minimum. The app does not give you notifications when new tasks are added on your collaborative to-do lists. This means that neither you or your team mates will know when new tasks have been added.

## Google Keep Price

Google Keep is free to use. This makes it a good option for individuals who are new to digital tools to help with productivity.

In Habitica, your to-dos are classified as a single task that you can complete. Each time you complete a to-do, you gain experience and gold that can be used in Habitica.



Habits are the long-term goals that you are aiming to achieve. Habitica classifies habits as either positive or negative. Completing a positive habit will benefit you in Habitica while a negative habit will have adverse consequences to your character in-game.



To track your Habits, Dailies are used as a sort of a recurring daily task to help you nurture a certain habit that you’ve set for yourself. Completing your dailies will offer in-game rewards while failing to do so will result in damage to your in-game health.

## What Is Jira?

Jira is a project management tool specifically designed for software development teams. It is a product created by its parent company, Atlassian. Atlassian was founded by Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar in 2002. In that same year, they released Jira as their flagship product. 



The main use of Jira is as an issue and project management tool. It is an advanced tool that can be used by software development teams who operate using the [agile methodology](https://www.taskade.com/templates/project-management/agile-project-management-board), which is the opposite of the more traditional [waterfall project management](https://www.taskade.com/blog/waterfall-project-management-guide) approach.



Although Jira is mainly used by software developers, its customizable nature means that it can be used to manage just about any project you might have. However, Jira is loaded with features and is famous for being a complicated tool to learn and use. If you’re using for a simpler project management tool from the list of products that Atlassian offers, [Trello](https://www.taskade.com/compare/free-trello-alternative) should be one of the alternatives you consider.

## What Features Does Jira Have?

### Tasks, Sprints and Epics

Jira is loaded with features that make it a powerful project management tool if used correctly. Being a tool that was created for agile teams, Jira makes it easy for your team to plan sprints on the software. 



You can assign multiple tasks to your teammates on Jira and allow them the flexibility to focus on multiple issues during the sprint. It’s best to assign tasks that are related to each other so that your teammate can work on similar tasks during each sprint.



Being an issue management tool as well, tasks in Jira are also known as Issues. Think of issues as the steps needed to complete sprints and epic projects. 



While sprints are common practice, bigger projects would demand more of a marathon mindset instead of working in short bursts. Jira categorizes these bigger projects into Epics, which consist of multiple tasks and issues. In each Epic, a team will have to go through a few sprints to complete all of the given tasks and issues.



In Jira, issues that don’t have subtasks are known as Tasks. Tasks in this case will refer to straightforward tasks that can be completed in a single step.

### Project Views

Jira offers multiple project views that aid with agile project management. It has a [Kanban Board](https://www.taskade.com/blog/best-kanban-board-apps/) view that is commonly seen in modern project managers such as Trello and [MeisterTask](https://www.taskade.com/compare/free-meistertask-alternative). Kanban boards help you and your team visualize your projects by displaying task cards on a board. On Jira, teams can drag and drop tasks into other columns, making it easy to use.



A software that caters to agile project management wouldn’t be complete without a Scrum board view. Jira’s scrum board allows you and your team to plan your sprints and ensure that everyone has a manageable workload during the sprint. Keeping your projects and sprints organized helps the development process flow easier, and prevents hiccups on your project timeline.

### Reporting

Jira’s reports feature gives you access to real-time project and progress insights. This gives you the ability to make decisions based on real-time data so that you can optimize your sprints and make changes along the way. Having access to agile reports gives you and your team the confidence to ensure that the product is delivered on time.



Some of the reports that are available include a user workload report which shows the workload for your team members, and also a report which shows the rate at which bugs reports are being created.

### Customizable Workflows



The customizability of Jira means that you can use it to many projects regardless of complexity or scale. The only caveat to this is that you must be familiar with the software or else it will be too overwhelming for you. Once you’ve mastered the ins and outs of Jira, you’ll be able to create custom workflows to manage your projects. Additionally, you can also make use of templates from Atlassian to help you get a headstart when managing projects with Jira.

## What Is Jira Good For?

Jira is best used for software development teams that operate using the agile methodology. Even though non software developers can also use the tool for normal projects, Jira is too complicated to use for simple and more straightforward projects. 



There’s a large opportunity cost when it comes to smaller teams learning how to use Jira. This is because you could use the time spent learning Jira to instead manage projects and get work done on other simpler project management tools.



In fact, here’s a list of the [best project management tools](https://www.taskade.com/blog/best-project-management-tools/) for you to choose from if you’re looking for a simpler alternative to Jira.

## What Is Linear app?

Linear app is a software company that was founded in 2019 by Karri Saarinen, Jori Lallo, and Tuomas Artman. The trio built Linear after experiencing challenges when working on software engineering-related projects in other companies.



Targeted at software companies and teams, Linear app was originally intended to be an issue-tracking service. However, today their product can also be used as a project management tool for software development teams.



In 2019, the company raised $4.2 million in seed funding despite only having 4 employees. Today, their total funding is estimated to be around $17.2 million.



Their goal is to pave the way for software development and project management by allowing teams to work more efficiently and quickly with an intuitive tool. 



Linear’s belief is that teams should work to create a steady momentum, and not in sprints. This is to prevent teams from rushing their tasks which they believe can be unsustainable in the long run.

## Features of Linear app

Linear is an issue tracking tool that was made with software engineering teams in mind. Instead of tasks, you create issues on the Linear software. Larger issues (tasks) can be broken down further into sub-issues (subtasks) to make the problem more actionable and less overwhelming.



Data on Linear is synchronized in real-time to allow teams to work together seamlessly from anywhere. This is similar to Taskade which also offers [real-time collaboration features](https://help.taskade.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034344773--Real-time-Collaboration) so that you can get work done from anywhere.



Built for software teams, it’s inevitable that Linear has a library of keyboard shortcuts to help you manage your issues and projects with hotkeys. If you can master these shortcuts, you should be able to utilize them to optimize your work. 



Taskade also has a [wide collection of keyboard shortcuts](https://help.taskade.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026178513--Taskade-Keyboard-Shortcuts) to help you optimize your workflows. The key difference is that Taskade was designed to be user-friendly for all teams, whilst Linear leans more towards software teams.



Besides issue tracking, Linear can also be used to manage projects. Projects on Linear are used to plan and organize work. These projects are not your usual to-do list style project management tool as Linear has a heavy emphasis on issues. 



Once a project has been created, it can then be shared across teams. Each project has features that can also be customized to help you meet your objectives.



You can also track your team's progress on any project by viewing the project graph which is automatically created with each project. The project graph helps to project predictions so that you can see if your current trajectory will meet your stipulated timeline.



However, it must be taken into consideration that project management on Linear is designed with software teams in mind, and is a little too complicated for non-software teams to use. If you’re looking for a more user-friendly tool to help [manage your projects](https://www.taskade.com/blog/taskade-review/), Taskade would be a better choice for you.



You have the ability to create multiple teams on your Linear app workspace for the various functions in your company. Within these teams, you can customize workflow and cycle settings to support the different ways that each team gets their work done.



Projects on Linear can be shared across different teams teams. For example business roadmaps can be shared across all teams in the organization to make sure that everyone is aligned on the common goal.



Catered more toward engineering teams, Linear works well with Figma and Github, allowing users to track pull requests. Their integration with Zapier unlocks a wide range of other applications that you can pair Linear with to optimize your workflows.



There is also a triage function which acts as an inbox in Linear. Issues created from integrations or members from other teams will pop up here. This gives you a chance to prioritize your teams workflow.

### What Is Linear app Good For?

Linear is best used for teams that work with software. If you’re looking for an issue tracking and management software then this tool is for you.



Software engineers will also find Linear to be an intuitive software to use, especially if you can master the keyboard shortcuts that they offer.



### What Are Some Limitations of Linear app?

We wouldn’t recommend Linear even for simple project management if you’re not dealing with software as Linear was not created to be a universal project management software, unlike Taskade.



Linear is simply too complex to use if you’re looking for a straightforward project management tool. Linear has a steep learning curve and it takes effort to learn how to properly use the software to your advantage.



Additionally, Linear does now offer [real-time video conferencing](https://www.taskade.com/blog/video-conferencing-team-call-chat/) - something that Taskade offers for free.



Communication features on Linear are limited. You can add comments on issues and integrate with Slack to comment on tasks from Slack, but that just means that you’ll have one additional application to toggle between just to get your work done.

## How much does Linear app cost?

Linear offers its software with three different price ranges.

### Linear app Free Plan

Linear’s Free plan enables you to work with unlimited users but limits your file upload size to 10mb, with a cap of 150mb per month. You are also only able to have 250 issues at any given time. 

### Linear app Standard Plan

Linear’s Standard plan starts at $10 per user monthly, and gives you unlimited file upload size and unlimited issues as well. You also unlock the ability to create private teams and have access to admin tools within Linear.

### Linear app Plus Plan

Linear’s Plus plan is meant for bigger organizations as it unlocks advanced authentication controls and an audit log, which tracks security incidents within your organization’s workspace. Not only that, you also get access to priority support as well.



Linear’s Plus plan starts at $15 per user monthly.

## What Is MeisterTask?

MeisterTask is an online project management software that was founded by Michael Hollauf and Till Volmer. Hollauf and Volmer created MeisterLabs, which is a German software company. Together, they founded two other productivity tools which are MindMeister, MeisterTask, and MeisterNote.

MeisterNote is a collaborative outliner tool that helps teams create notes and content online together. Check out our article and choose from the [10 best outliner tools](https://www.taskade.com/blog/best-outliner-apps/) to help you get more work done! MindMeister is MeisterLabs’ foray into online collaborative mind mapping. Created in 2007, the product has over 7 million users today. There are many [use cases for mind maps](https://www.taskade.com/blog/mind-map-use-cases/). Find out [how to create the best mind maps](https://www.taskade.com/blog/mind-map-ultimate-guide/) to improve your productivity today. 

MeisterTask follows the [Kanban methodology](https://www.taskade.com/blog/best-kanban-board-apps/#_What_Is_Kanban_and_What_Can_You_Use_It_For) for project management. It was created in 2015 with a development budget of around $1.7 million, most of which was provided from MindMeister. One of the reasons for creating MeisterTask stems from MindMeister users asking for more to-do list features in the app. MeisterTask grew by over a million users within its first year of release, and today has over 3 million users.

## Features of MeisterTask

If the user interface of MeisterTask feels familiar to you - that’s probably because it took inspiration from Trello’s Kanban board project management style. However, MeisterTask takes it up a notch by adding its own spin on Kanban.

First of all, MeisterTask’s design feels cleaner when compared to Trello. Its design has a modern feel to it with a cleaner user interface that is gentler on the eyes. 

Your workspace starts off with a default kanban board view made of customizable and colorful columns. At the top of each column, you can clearly see how many tasks you have and you can even set limits on each column. This is to help prevent you from overloading certain workflows with too many tasks.

But what if you’ve got a lot of tasks at hand? No problem. MeisterTask gives you the ability to collapse task lists and drag your task cards across columns to rearrange them and keep your project board clean. Formatting and setting due dates on tasks are also made simpler with the multi-select feature. 

When it comes to assigning tasks, MeisterTask works similarly to ClickUp but with a twist. Only one person can be assigned to any particular task. This keeps your project board clean as only one avatar will appear on each task card. You can also assign watchers to tasks to keep them updated on the progress. 

Time tracking is also built into each task so that you can keep track of time spent per task. You could also use this to use the [Pomodoro timer technique](https://www.taskade.com/blog/pomodoro-timer-guide/) and stay productive throughout your workday. Speaking of which, MeisterTask also has a unique feature that allows you to see both your board view and timeline view at the same time so that you can move projects and tasks according to your project schedule.

Meistertask has integrations with other applications such as Zapier, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and more so that you can use it alongside your other daily applications. Although the software does not support built-in communication functions, you can integrate it with other applications to help improve communication when using the tool.

Finally, Meistertask also has a statistics section where you can find reports on your personal and team performance. Use this if you want to dive deeper and use statistics to optimize your productivity.

### What Is MeisterTask Good For?

If you’re familiar with MeisterLabs’ suite of products, then MeisterTask would be a good task and project management tool for you to use. This is because the sense of familiarity with the product may help you get onboarded quicker.

Here are other instances where MeisterTask can be useful for you:

* Personal task management
* Simple project management
* Business task management
* Collaborative projects
* School projects

### What Are Some Limitations of MeisterTask?

Although MeisterTask’s spin on the Kanban board gives it a breath of fresh air, it lacks built-in communication features to help you communicate and collaborate within the same app to get more work done. The software also depends heavily on the Kanban board view for you to manage your tasks and projects. Not having additional views such as a list or mind-map view makes it harder for you to visualize your ideas in a different way.

## What Is Microsoft Teams?

Microsoft Teams is a communication tool that was created by Microsoft. Launched in 2017, Teams is one of the most popular video conferencing applications in the market, besides [Zoom](https://www.taskade.com/compare/free-zoom-alternative) and Google Meet. [Slack](https://www.taskade.com/compare/free-slack-alternative) is also one of the companies that compete with Microsoft Teams in the communication field. 



Designed as part of Microsoft’s suite of products in its Office 365 lineup, Teams integrates with other Office products seamlessly so that you can use it alongside your favorite Microsoft applications.



Microsoft Teams gained popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic when many businesses had to pivot online and have their workers adapt to a [remote working environment](https://www.taskade.com/blog/remote-management-distributed-team-productivity/). Today, Microsoft Teams has around 270 million monthly users, making it one of the most popular communication platforms available.



## What Are Some Features of Microsoft Teams?

Microsoft Teams is a tool that helps you to communicate with your team. Two functions that Teams does well are its chat and video conferencing feature. Also, you can easily integrate Teams with other tools from Microsoft’s ecosystem. This lets you manage your projects by using Teams as a base for your Microsoft applications.



Another way to manage project via Teams would be to use its share screen function while on a video conference call to display your project via another [project management tool](https://www.taskade.com/blog/best-project-management-tools/). By using this method, you’ll be able to use other better project management tools that are not from Microsoft.



You can connect to other Microsoft project management tools via Teams. This includes integrating Microsoft’s ‘Tasks by Planner and To Do’ app, which lets you create task lists in Microsoft Teams. You’ll be able to store files and access them all via Teams, making it your hub for project management.



Additionally, if you’re familiar with Microsoft Project, you can use it in Microsoft Teams to help you manage and organize your projects efficiently. Microsoft Project is Microsoft’s project management application that helps you manage projects with advanced features.



Communication within Teams comes with the usual chat and video conferencing features. Messages in chat can be marked to state their importance so that it shows up more prominently. Channels can also be created to create groups where different business units and teams can communicate with each other. This function is similar to channels in Slack, which work relatively the same way.



You can create and schedule meetings in Teams to communicate with your team via video call. Other users within the same channel will be able to see that a meeting is happening, and can join in if they have to.



Besides that, Microsoft Teams can also integrate with applications that are available on Microsoft AppSource so that you can include apps in your Teams workspace to help you be more productive.

### What Is Microsoft Teams Good For?

Microsoft Teams is good for businesses and remote teams that need a platform to communicate and collaborate on work. Using teams for your business communications can help you and your team collaborate efficiently and also host virtual meetings professionally.



If you’re looking for a free alternative to [chat and host video calls for free](https://help.taskade.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015915994--Free-Unlimited-Video-Conferencing-Calling) within the same project, Taskade allows you to communicate and collaborate without limits even on our free plan!



Otherwise, popular alternative tools that focus on communication include [Zoom](https://www.taskade.com/compare/free-zoom-alternative), Google Meet, and [Slack](https://www.taskade.com/compare/free-slack-alternative). 

### What Are Some Limitations of Microsoft Teams?

Despite it being a good tool to use for communications, Microsoft Teams has some limitations which include:

* No built-in project management function
* Low file storage limit
* Productivity functions available only with paid plan
* No advanced project management features



Although Teams is a solid communication tool, it lacks in the collaborative project management area. Taskade offers a more robust solution to your project management needs because not only are we a full project management suite, we also offer f[ree video conferencing and chat](https://help.taskade.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015915994--Free-Unlimited-Video-Conferencing-Calling) within the same project. This means that you can hop on a call and get work done, all via one single app.

## How Much Does Microsoft Teams Cost? 

Microsoft Teams offer four different price points for its product.



Free

* 1 hour group meeting limit
* 100 max participants
* 5GB file storage



Essentials ($4 per user/month)

* 30 hours group meeting limit

The Best Free `Microsoft Teams Alternative`

## What Is Miro?

Miro is a visual collaboration platform that was founded in 2011 by Andrey Khusid. Khusid originally created a digital whiteboard called RealtimeBoard in 2011 to communicate his ideas with his remote clients. This eventually evolved into Miro, which has over 20 million users worldwide today.

Recently in 2022, Miro raised $400 million in a Series C funding round. This brings its valuation up to $17.5 billion.

The idea behind Miro was to digitize traditional processes such as writing on a piece of paper or having face-to-face interactions by replacing them with modern tools such as docs and chat. Miro works similarly to [Whimsical](https://www.taskade.com/compare/free-whimsical-alternative), as both tools utilize a visual approach to brainstorming and collaboration. Miro's wide range of features makes it feel like an online collaborative whiteboard to help you come up with creative ideas.

On Miro, users can choose to start work on a customizable empty board or get started with ready-made templates. Boards can be used for a variety of things ranging from project management, brainstorming, wireframe creation, and more.

## Features of Miro

Miro has a few features to help you and your team collaborate online.

On Miro, your whiteboard can be customized to fit your needs. Each board is built in the form of a fully customizable infinite canvas. This allows you to collaborate and branch out your mind maps and ideas without limit.

Similar to other visual collaboration tools, Miro also features a drag-and-drop design which makes it easy for you to edit your visualizations. Boards also have tools such as shapes, arrows, and drawing to make it seem as if you’re collaborating on an infinite whiteboard.

On Miro, you can collaborate with your team members via chat and video calls to reduce the need to toggle between applications when working. Downloading the Voting Plugin allows your team members to vote on ideas that they resonate with, allowing for better flow on your projects.

Each Miro project starts as a blank slate, which can be quite a daunting task to start. However, this can be made simpler by using Miro’s templates to help you get started with your tasks.

Besides brainstorming and planning workflows, you can also manage projects with your team on Miro via a built-in Kanban-style project board. 

Additionally, Miro also integrates with other applications such as [notion](https://www.taskade.com/compare/free-notion-alternative), slack, and box, which gives you the ability to use your favorite applications alongside the app.

### What Is Miro Good For?

Being a virtual whiteboard tool, Miro has plenty of uses. The idea is that Miro can be used for brainstorming sessions, visualizing processes, research, creating wireframes, and more. However, there are also some limitations that come with Miro.

### What Are Some Limitations of Miro?

Although Miro is a good tool when it comes to brainstorming and ideation, its limitations include a steep price plan, lack of features on the free plan, and difficult onboarding.

Miro’s pricing starts at $8 per user which is steep compared to other similar applications out there. The cost quickly adds up the more users you add to your projects. This means that startups might find it difficult to cope with Miro's pricing.

You can choose to use Miro for free, but its free plan is very light on features. For example, you will have to upgrade to a paid plan in order to use Miro’s video call feature. This makes Taskade a better free alternative to Miro as Taskade on the other hand offers [free and unlimited chat](https://www.taskade.com/uses/video-chat) and [video conferencing](https://www.taskade.com/blog/video-conferencing-team-call-chat/) built-in to every project so that you can communicate with your team without having to toggle between apps.

If you’re a newbie to Miro, you will find it hard to use. If you can master how to use Miro, it can be an effective tool to have in your arsenal. However, you will need plenty of hand-holding to learn how to effectively use Miro, which might just take too much of your time.

Finally, there have been reports of users experiencing slower boards as activity within the board increases. This can be annoying especially when you find yourself in a [flow state](https://www.taskade.com/blog/flowtime-technique-guide) of ideation.

We also wouldn't recommend using Miro when planning your projects. This is because project management on Miro is only limited to a Kanban view. This makes Taskade a better free alternative to Miro because Taskade has [multiple project views](https://www.taskade.com/blog/taskade-review/#_A_Brief_Introduction_to_Project_Views) to help you plan and execute your projects. 

## How Much Does Miro Cost?

Miro offers its software at four different price points being the Free Plan, Team Plan, Business Plan, and Enterprise Plan. More on Miro's pricing below.

### Miro Free Plan

Miro’s Free Plan is ideal if you’re trying out the software to see if it’s a good fit for yourself or your business. The Free Plan comes with access to templates, a maximum of 3 boards, and integrations excluding Jira and Confluence.

However, Taskade’s Free Plan would be a better free alternative because you get unlimited chat and video calls even with our free plan. Miro on the other hand offers video calls only on its paid plans.

### Miro Team Plan

Miro’s Team Plan gives you access to unlimited boards and the ability to create and share your own templates with your team. You also get extra features such as video calls, voting, timer, and the ability to organize projects via kanban boards.

Miro’s Team Plan starts at $8 per month for each user.

### Miro Business Plan

The Business Plan gives you the added ability to invite guests to your private boards. You can also organize smart meetings with a specific set of tools and create better diagrams with advanced packs.

Miro’s Business Plan starts at $16 per month for each user. 

If you’re looking to use Miro for your business, you can also consider the Enterprise Plan which offers premium support, data governance, and added security features. You will have to get in touch with Miro's sales team to find out more about the pricing for their Enterprise plan.
