The marketplace for Apps in this space is crowded: Capterra lists 1424 Project Management Apps, 762 Task Management Apps and 514 Productivity Apps (and their list is not even complete). So why did I wall in love with UpBase? Let me explain: UpBase delivers a very good performance with all the features they offer (Tasks, Docs, Files, Messages, Chat and Calendar). BUT what makes UpBase stand out is the attention they bring to the personal productivity aspect. Most people I know have a lot of things to manage, both business and personal. It’s less important to have 1 gazillion of features (hello ClickUp, Notion & co), and more important to have the right features on a base that empowers to DELIVER. With Upbase, I start the day with the „daily planner“ view. Write down some thoughts or goals, maybe add a new task or drag n drop task from my lists to the planner. Maybe even start a pomodoro session. All on one page. For a better perspective switch to weekly or monthly view. Drag n drop tasks from the task list into the cal to schedule them. I love this planning feature, it gives me control and is fast. My Golden Taco: - Ability to drag n drop tasks to calendar (daily/weekly/monthly) to schedule them Other things I like: - Google Docs/Sheets embed works great and is super useful - Bookmark feature (with folder option) allows to access key lists quickly (my finance planning Google sheet is just 1 click away and inside UpBase) - Ability so switch between List and Board/Kanban view for tasks (can be customized on list level) - overall a great UI/UX and a minimalistic approach Biggest Con: - Like with many other PM tools I miss a FAST way do drop quick notes. F.ex. to prewrite this comment I went to Google notes, because it takes just 2 clicks (or 1 shortode) to start typing. In UpBase it takes 4-5 clicks to start typing on a Doc, that’s just too slow. Ideally UpBase would be as fast as Google notes (and eventually let me decide later if I want to keep it as note or turn it into a task or into a Doc). The roadmap looks promising and the company looks legit. Waiting hard on Google Cal sync and Tags, they seem to be coming soon. The founder doesn’t overpromise (see questions), which is a good sign. Feature requests: - The ability to drag n drop tasks to schedule (= my golden Taco for UpBase) could be improved even further. I like how the App TryAmie does this, UpBase team please check them out. - Improved search and sorting for Tasks AND Docs. Docs are tied to lists, but I would love to sort all docs by „latest“ and see all Docs I worked on recently. - Quick Notes (as described above) to allow me drop quick notes, thoughts to todos VERY fast, like with 1 click, also on mobile Enough said. (A bit long, but I think deal deservers 100+ reviews so I am trying to help out a bit) This is an absolute gem. From the almost 200 deals I bought on Appsumo this one feels like the best catch so far.

There's a huge gap in the market for a genuinely useful kanban-style organiser for solos and small teams. I've tried so many and they're all bloated, too simplistic, or very clunky to use. Upbase has a very slick UX and I can see that they're working hard to stick to their product vision rather than just bolting on features without a second thought. I've seen far too many AppSumo products kill themselves in this way, and I feel confident that Upbase is not going to fall into this trap. Now for the critique: the most glaring omission is a reminders function, but I can see that this is on the roadmap. I'd really like to see some goals-management functionality so that my tasks can be focussed towards a higher purpose. Well done to the team! This is definitely a keeper.

Like many reviews here, I've tried every project tool over the year several times over. Upbase is "unbloated", simple, and straightforward, and they are only warming up. My long-time favourite app was Things by Culture Code for power and simplicity. Having docs notes with different views all work together is simple. 🙏🏽PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep it this simple Upbase 🙏🏽 A few bugs and functions are still on the roadmap, but it is worth being early to the game here - who cares about a few bugs this early on? I've brought other kanban boards and project tools here on app sumo over the years, but they were either meant for NASA-level jobs by deadly serious SCRUM teams or were trying to do too many things. My ONE request would be a button on UPbase to say "I'm using this on my own" - one of the best functions on Things by Culture Code. It was ONLY you. I will use this with other people, but I love an area for my stuff and having to sign tasks to me - when there is only me - is boring after a while. Thank you Upbase! I'm looking forward to a long and beautiful life together.

Everything you can imagine about Upbase is an understatement. Tony and his team have created a living tool that is constantly evolving. They keep the focus permanently, providing a thousand and one reasons to make their tool the cornerstone of our work team. There are multiple uses you can give it, whether you need an internal knowledge system, organize your team to generate branded content, organize the tasks of each of the individuals, milestones, even to maintain a fluid conversation constantly. Upbase has become my main daily work tool and today, I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering using it, because from the first moment you will feel a special match, starting with its tremendously neat interface and ending with its unlimited functional capabilities. Without a doubt, it has been and will be the best investment of my life. I feel deeply grateful to Tony and his team, for making it possible, because their dedication, their quick response to any doubt, query or concern... the professionalism they show, guarantee the return of the investment made with total satisfaction guarantee. A big hug to the whole team, Jesus.

I needed a solution to track individual brands and projects, and to invite clients to participate... I couldn't be happier with Upbase overall. -We've tried other tools (Agiled, SuiteDash etc.), but they were all overly complicated for our needs - UpBase simply works, and does its job with a beautiful interface and straightforward workflows. Simple doesn't mean limited, just that it is intuitive and makes setup and operation very logical and sensible. It has all the features we need, and beyond. Some points we really like: -The mobile app tool is such a perfect addition, and make keeping on top of things so much more convenient. -We find the "Files" feature absolutely perfect, and given that access control can be so easily managed per list/project - we are super happy with it. -Inviting guests to participate in a specific project only -The staff/member permissions is easy, and definitely useful -Platform branding is straightforward and provides some authenticity when inviting clients/guests to co-ordinate with us on the platform. -The interface... the interface... the interface! It is one of the most intuitively designed UI we have in our toolbox, and definitely needs to be noted again that this definitely is easy to work with. We had our first brand and project lists setup within 15 minutes and moving forward quickly. It's difficult to find any specific downside to this product, and they continue to develop and fine tune the platform, but there are a few wishlist items that would be great to see as the development continues: - It would be great if this could be white labeled, though for the moment that doesn't specifically create any issues for us. - API or Webhook integrations Definitely worth every penny, and recommend this product to anyone looking for a management platform that is easy to navigate, straightforward to manage, and a more-or-less a value add to your organization from the first day. Worth 5 Tacos for sure!

I like how upbase is very focused. Includes everything you need but does not do too much. It is the best project management tool I've used and I've switched my team to upbase. It's like a clean Asana, Evernote, and Slack in one tool with a lot more features. I can't emphasize to clean and simple interface enough, it just makes the user experience seamless. Another think I like is that the developers respond to feature requests and tell you why they will or will not implement it. The only 2 things I can't wait to have is a more complete google integration, and a better pomodoro system. This will make the app better for personal use. Upbase is going to be one of the best project management tools in the near future and I'm getting another code for my personal use.

편리한 UI/UX로 구성되어있다. 심지어 스케쥴 및 메모 등을 손쉽게 관리할 수 있다. Tasks / Docs / Files / Calendar / Chat 까지 하나 같이 필요한 기능을 선택해서 사용할 수 있다는 점이 가장 좋았다. 무엇보다 피드백이 빨라 필요한 기능이 더욱 추가될 예정이라는 점이 기대가 된다. 추천한다.

Upbase is a very simple and easy to use project manager. This makes it very powerful and quick to implement. Its design is nice and simple. And they are constantly listening to user suggestions and making improvements. Since I've had it there have been several major updates. There are things that can be improved, for example ios app. But it's a matter of time. I am very happy with Upbase.

Upbase has exceeded my expectations. For the price, I figured it was worth a try. It really works well for the way I view data. I tend to see things from above and then want to drill down. The lists do this for me because you put more detail and sub tasks within the tasks and list. Then you can connect your tasks to the list and work form your task list. It is like a task list on steroids with Project Management functionality when you need it. You can use what you need and not get overwhelemved with other features, or at least that is how I feel. I believe it is great for the solo business owner as well as a team.

I think upbase is a promising new option for task and project management. They're rolling out features quickly and the system is easy to use. If you have a small team and don't absolutely require integrations, access to zapier, email to task, etc.... it will be a great option for you. I think all of those features are on their way but full disclosure they're not worked in quite yet. Just be prepared to be patient but it's worth the lifetime one payment investment in exchange for the growing platform. You'll also be able to submit suggestions and feedback for rollouts and see which features are next up!

Very easy to use. If you know Trello, Asana, Monday, Clickup, looks very familiar. They have a App that is great to follow tasks and send message. - They should look up to the bugs sending messagens to group or dm, sometimes one or other message bugs and don't appear to the person that suppose to receive. - We need an update that confirms that the message was received and read. The team and support are very fast to answer, they hear the community, plan and upgrade the system. So much has been added since I get my keys, thank you guys! Keep doing a great work.

Only a couple of weeks in, but loving Upbase. Finally a productivity app that offers everything I need - especially the split between task and calendar functions. Everything is clean, efficient, intuitive. It's a keeper, the rest of you to the bin!

upbase is really a good project management tool and a good alternative to Trello and other Kanban tools. In addition, new updates are regularly released that expand the functionality, and I like that changes are regularly communicated in the newsletter.

If you are looking for a fast and efficient tool to manage your projects, look no further. UPBASE is one of the best out there. It has a lot of great features and most importantly, it doesn't overwhelm the user. Sure, there are tools like Clickup, Asana, and others. But all these tools have one big drawback. They are complex and you have to hire people to just enter data into these tools. Upbase is different. It is simple and effective. It just works the way you want it to in project management.

It is easy to set up and to add tasks and different projects. I like a lot the fact that you can edit Google documents and sheets directly from Upbase without having to move to the Google Drive. The only thing that I am missing is a search bar, where you can search for various projects and get there quick without having to look for them by scrolling up and down the list on the left side.
