Freedcamp is a web-based project management tool and organization system for single or multiple users collaborating using cloud computing. The company was launched in 2010 in Santa Barbara, California by founder Angel Grablev.

Freedcamp is free for unlimited number of users and projects. Users are provided a number of basic applications on initial sign-up and can add additional applications later on. The core applications allow users to assign tasks to people, set milestones, schedule events on a calendar, use discussion boards, and track time spent on tasks.

Freedcamp is often noted as a free alternative to Basecamp (software) in terms of the similarity in name, but both the vision and business model differ.

Access modes and notifications

Freedcamp's advanced permission features allow for a project to contain different types of user roles with different access modes. The administrator can set up general users and then assign certain tasks to relevant people with different levels of restriction if needed. There is also a client/guest mode which works like a read-only mode. Users can tag participants in a post so they receive project updates via email.

Payment

Freedcamp offers unlimited storage for free, the only limit is how large each file you upload is. The current limit for the free plan is 10mb per file. The developers have stated that they intend to keep the system free forever - their basic package is "strictly free, and will remain this way forever." The pricing comes in three plans. Lite, Business and Enterprise. Each plan is bundled with more of the paid features and additional storage upgrades per file. All paid features are aimed at business use cases and do not prohibit the usage of the system for everyday projects in any way.
