Upbase reviews

Finally started using Upbase for PM for my website design biz. They just added a feature that is a stand out for me. you can take any task form any list/board etc and click the spotlight button, this keeps it where it is, AND duplicates it onto a central board (that you can customize with your own columns/headings). That way the tasks you need to focus on today or this week don't get lost in the shuffle, or you don't get overwhelmed with calendar pings.

-Once you are on the spotlight board you can move the tasks from column to column (upcoming, urgent, inbox (i.e. not yet , but soon) - or to the top or bottom/anywhere Row within a column... without affecting the original location/list/task.

-However the task is still linked, so if you edit the task in either Spotlight OR on the Original list/card, (add a tag, complete the task, change the name, or reassign it), those actions are also reflected on the original task card/list.

This is a game changer for me - I had actually created a list called Today or this week, and manually added tasks to it - which was ok, but then they added spotlight - and wit works really well!

I am quite happy with this tool. I have been using it for quite a while now and it is definitely value for money. There is one or two things I do not have from the app I used to pay a monthly fee for, yet the tiny inconvenience is negligible when you consider I no longer have to pay a monthly cost...very cost efficient for sure and now I have my son with his business on it also and he is loving it too...VERY HAPPY!

I'm using Upbase for quite a while now and it's worth every penny! Especially for smaller teams. It offers a great overview over all projects and offers great functionalities.

I love Upbase. I appreciate its focus on simplicity and clean UI. Even as they continuously add new features, they manage to maintain a simple and uncluttered user interface.

Of all the project management software I have tried, this is the one that works best for me; it has become my second brain. All the projects are organized in what is called "lists" in Upbase, and each contains tasks (with kanban and list views), docs, files, calendar, and chat. The organization is really easy and efficient. A "list" can represent anything you want, as they can also be easily organized by folders on the left panel: it can be a client, a specific project for a client, or even a part of a project if the project is large. I appreciate how "lists" themselves are so adaptable that they can be used for various purposes.

I also admire their daily and weekly schedule; I like being able to switch easily between different views. In the daily view, I can quickly see which tasks are overdue so I don't miss anything.

As I've mentioned a couple of times: I love Upbase!

I am very happy with this tool. There is only one element missing. AI interaction. With all the competition this is the one thing that holds me back from using it exclusively. Hopefully they add this component soon.

It has potential but it's extremely glitchy for me. Stuff won't save so I have to keep adding it or tasks get duplicated randomly. If you delete something it hangs there unless you refresh the page. You can't add images inside of docs which is frustrating when trying to create training docs for the team. I'm kicking myself for missing the refund date on this. Don't think I'll be using it moving forward unless it's more stable and they add more features.

I am getting great value and help from Upbase. It seems to hit that sweet spot between ease-of-use on the one hand and flexibility on the other.
I especially love that you can embed google files eg sheets. I find Google Drive really hard to navigate and manage, and Upbase solves this perfectly.
Great job!

It has been two months since we started using Upbase and we absolutely love it! I would like to commend Tony and his team for building such a fantastic platform. The user interface is very user-friendly, yet it is packed with powerful features.

The team has been constantly making improvements on a weekly basis, and they have been very transparent with their RoadMap. In my opinion, they deserve a five-star rating! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I highly recommend Upbase as an AI-powered project management tool. 🚀👏

I've had this for almost 2 months now and I just love the simplicity of this software.

I am a solo freelancer managing a few clients and Upbase made it easy for me to communicate with my clients on project status, upload their assets, and directly chat with them vs. having to use another platform to chat.

Definitely worth the purchase. 5 tacos

I need to review this tool, it deserves that. Upbase is simple to work with, a simple UX, but do not let that fool you, as there is so much under the hood. We use this with 3 VA´s, and they love it too, in comparison to Asana, Trello, etc. It has everything from docs, files, Lists, Kanban, Calender, Tags, team chat :) Keep on updating, we love it!

My UX tip for upbase: Look at the Left side navigation menu at Shopify. They use very nice icons (very small) where you are in your navigation. At this moment with upbase, the navigation topics below Schedule and My Tasks are not quite clear to me. Lists, Filters, Tags, etc. Make them more "recognizable" like the first 2 navigation points.

This is an excellet tool. I am always hesitant when looking at a new tool and how difficult the learning curve will be but the system is straight forward and easy to use. The videos also help to get moving quickly. The price is good and competitive.

Upbase.io is a work management platform that allows you to bring together all your tasks, messages, docs, files, and real-time chat into one place. It is designed to be simple and easy to use with little to no learning curve. I was able to go through their user guides in 30-45 min and got a solid understanding of the functionality.

Here are some pros and cons of Upbase.io:

Things I love:
- they nailed the selling point of keeping it simple; I have used many tools like Asana, Wrike, Monday.com, ClickUp and while they provide more extended feature set, I prefer the simplicity of upbase, as it provides my team a quick way to learn the tool and focus on what matter: our work

- Upbase.io has a deep hierarchy and simplified UI design that makes it easy to navigate and user-friendly.
- It offers a blend of functionality and aesthetics that I appreciate. Clean UX, functional and easy to understand workflows

- Upbase.io is accessible to both technical and non-technical users, thanks to its well-organized layout

- availability of a native iOS app

Cons:
- Upbase.io lacks many project management features such as time trackers and customized workflow, so if you need them then this may not be the tool for you. For me, this is a positive as I prefer the simplicity without the clutter of advanced features I will not use

- Compared to other project management tools, Upbase.io may lack the flexibility to tailor the interface to specific team preferences. Works great for me as I like the design

I would have loved to see the native iOS app expand full screen on iPad. I use an iPad PRO, and the space is not properly utilized.

There is an inconsistency in the design of operations when deleting a folder with the lists versus deleting a folder with bookmarks. The first deletes the folder and retains the lists, while the last deletes both the folder and the bookmarks. This inconsistency can lead to problems as users will likely expect consistency in operations.

Overall, this is a great tool, that will satisfy most teams, small and large. Competitively priced for what it provides with $72/year or $8/month
