I found Freedcamp about a year and half ago, while using the basic, classic tier of Basecamp. I chose to give Freedcamp a try because of the great reviews and price point. Here is why I've been a fan ever since.

Some clients get overwhelmed, and I love that I can show only the apps to that each of them they will be using. Invite them as a guest, do a five minute tour, and done! They can reply through email and don't have to lift a finger, while other clients use Freedcamp heavily with their staff to communicate everything. Freedcamp is flexible to customize to your business needs and the individual comfort level of your clients.

I use the calendar for tracking milestones, Kanban view, and enjoy the ability to archive completed tasks to keep things neat and organized (especially with clients who love to create new task lists for one task!). I love that I can upload an entire folder of files at once for efficiency.

One of the most appealing aspects of Freedcamp is the company culture and community. You may compare apples and oranges with Basecamp, Trello, Asana, etc, but Freedcamp has a community-centric focus when it comes to the software. They want to hear from thier users and allow us to add our wishlist and vote on items we want. The most votes gets added to the roadmap. (Right up your alley Sumolings!)

Additionally, my experience with support has been so good. Like many of you, I have asked quite a few questions in the past and get a prompt reponse everytime (no joke). Seriously great customer service. Since they have been around a while, you can confidently do what I did and stack 10 codes here for the lifetime deal and not have to worry about the company longevity.

I am currently setting up whitelable and a project specifically for CRM and encrypted passwords, which will be a relief to have them stored on the cloud. I will use the time tracking to group task items and then copy into Quickbooks for electronic invoicing. I found out (thanks Igor) that you can even use the Issue Tracker as a support ticket system by following this article. https://freedcamp.com/Freedcamp_LxR/Freedcamp_Devel_yOf/wiki/wiki_public/view/v9bab

This App Sumo deal gives you the opportunity to skyrocket your company's professionalism and workflow for a great investment and stellar service. They have a new UI coming next year with other goodies. It's only going to get better. You would seriously be holding your business back if you don't take advantage of this deal.
