What Active Collab customers are saying

For more than 10 years, we've been trusted by over 200,000 people

★★★★★ The most comprehensive tool so far

by Michel Müller, CEO & Creative Director at Sergeant

“Over the past 10 years I worked with several online project management, collaboration and accounting tools, including Basecamp, Harvest/Forecast, Freshbooks, Trello, Asana, Teamwork, Podio, Wrike, etc. Two years ago we started working with Active Collab, and it is the most comprehensive tool so far. Compared to all other tools out there, it does the best job.”

★★★★★ Active Collab came up trumps in everything

by Alice Jakins, Digital Traffic Manager at New Media Publishing

“I put together a feature matrix for all the different tools to compare things like monthly cost, accessibility, timesheeting, task assignments, template creation, calendar timings, recurring tasks, moving and reordering tasks, multiple assignees... Active Collab came up trumps.”

★★★★★ It saved us so much time, it's insane

by Médéric Beaunier, CEO & Founder at aparticula

“In the beginning, we only used Active Collab to manage tasks and to-dos. But soon, we started storing information and files in it. But the greatest breakthrough was when we started using the invoicing section - it saved us so much time, it's insane.”

★★★★★ We centralize so much work with just one tool

by David Robertson, Owner & Project Manager at Premium IT Solutions

“Active Collab has everything we need to manage projects and collaborate - we can even track time and invoice billable time with it. It was exciting when we discovered Active Collab as we could centralize so much work with just one tool.”
