I've managed various projects and small ad-hoc teams as a solo independent consultant for years. Most of the time I work alone, but sometimes I bring in small teams of 2-10 people to manage tasks and coordinate docs and calendars for a limited time.

I've tried all kinds of software for project and task management, from MS Project (old days) to the more modern SAAS tools (Asana, Basecamp, Trello, etc.), before finally settling on ClickUp as the one that seemed to have the features I needed for everyday use. And I was happy with that choice... until I found Upbase.

Upbase's lifetime offer was tempting. Despite being happy enough with ClickUp, I decided to just trying using Upbase without any guidance or instruction whatsoever to see if the UI design and some real-world usage would warrant a closer look.

Two days later, I had seen enough--I got the Tier 2 lifetime subscription to Upbase.

I now use Upbase every day. Feels like a well-kept secret.
