The platform is robust for multiple use cases. We found usage for our team across multiple teams and this was the only platform we found usable in spite of trying out and reviewing multiple tools. We really liked that the advanced features aren’t all upfront and causing overwhelm. It is masked in a way that a power user comfortable with the tool can then access them when needed.

Why is 5day.io a better alternative to Basecamp?

Basecamp is one of the most opinionated tools out there. It is minimal, and focuses on limited features.

But being overly simplified has its drawbacks like missing out on features a project manager really wants. Basecamp’s opinionated approach limits your access to important features like importing projects and visualizing tasks in Kanban.

5day.io is the best Basecamp alternative for teams that still want only the important features, without missing out on what matters.

5day.io is built for users who

Want a flexible project management system

5day.io is more than a project and to-do list. Add custom statuses, custom fields to capture relevant information, and create dependencies to track task relationships.

Aim to bring their scattered work processes in one tool

5day.io combines time tracking, approvals, submissions, task management, and conversations & docs all in one platform. No one wants a hundred different integrations to do their work.

Manage long-term complex projects that have multiple moving parts

5day.io structure is built by keeping complexity in mind. Either divide projects in just tasks, or divide in it phases using projects, sections and so forth.

Prefer a more in-depth look into their project’s progress

Create customized project reports based on people, status, priority, and more to get a granular look into everyday tasks.

Want to control how they work

Basecamp is a powerful tool, but it limits what you can and cannot do. 5day.io is a software built to mimic your way of working with completely customizable project, task, and time management features.
