Easy, Alice. You have to be a little less aggressive toward your competitors. This post is about 5pm, not Wrike, so no need to flood it with self-advertising. Aaron has a good point – 5pm sounds (and looks!) interesting.

A little more investigation reveals that 5pm is actually not such a new tool and is basically a new version of an old product this company was selling from 2003 or so:

It’s nice to see a “web2.0″ company that actually has some roots.
(though I never heard of QGSoftware before).

Aaron,
I’m afraid that Sergei caught you with his marketing blah-blah-blah. Take a look at wrike.com and you’ll see what I mean. We have a free account and a 30-day trial for you to check the tool in full. Our price starts from $ 3.99 per month per user. By the way, Wrike was launched at 2006. 5pm guys are not the first ones.

Found out about 5pm some time ago, but I was so hooked on Basecamp by that time that I didn’t want to switch. Your recommendation goes a lot way though, and I am getting tired of Basecamp now. Might be worth looking at 5pm again.

Looks like a fairly young tool, but very promising so far. I definitely like the interface. On the features – still have to dig into it using their trial.

That’s a good find, Aaron! Not every day we can see a PM tool that actually looks attractive. :-)

I’ll check out 5PM. Thanks for the recommendation!

Big big love for Freshbooks. It does everything I could wish for and they keep listening to add more!
