One of the best project management tools I've seen

I have a small business with a lot of projects and it's difficult to be able to manage them and don't feel overwhelmed. On top of that, it's also difficult to know how much time every one of us spent on tasks and compare that with an estimate. We've tried so far Trello, Asana, Clickup, Freedcamp (premium), Timelinr and GitScrum.
Freedcamp had a lot of features but it was far behind Asana from an ease of use standpoint.
The free tier of Asana was the best for us out of all apps mentioned above, but it lacked the time tracking, the timeline feature and you just can't plan your day or week in Asana when you have many projects with a lot of tasks. We could have time tracking and timelines in Asana if we would pay for the Premium tier, but they just don't offer subscriptions for teams with less than 5 people.

So when I've started testing Ora, suddenly I've got the impression that almost all my dreams about a project management tool became true. It's got almost everything I need, works very well, and I can afford the cost of using it even if my team grows beyond 10 people.
I didn't decide to buy it until I've thoroughly tested Ora against Clickup and took GitScrum for a ride, too. I know there are a lot of people who love them, but for me, the feeling is that I can do all the things easier in Ora than in Clickup or GitScrum. That's the beauty of having options to choose from. Each of us can use the tool that suits he or she best.

What I like:
It's easy to create projects and tasks
Interchangeable List and Kanban view
Timeline view
The time estimating and tracking are awesomely implemented, it's a breeze to use them
You can plan your week or day using the Agenda feature
The interface is clean and nice
The app works smooth
There are apps for Mac and Windows

What could be better:
The speed of creating multiple tasks by pasting from a document is good but could be better.
I would like to have to ability to apply multiple filters on the list of tasks in Agenda view and Reports

Needless to say, I gave Ora 5 tacos. Oh, and I've stacked 5 codes because our team is growing.
