UNLIMITED WORKSPACES

feature
  • checkmark

    As I listed previously, you get 5 spaces in ClickUp’s free plan and you get unlimited projects, which is a space equivalent in ProdGoal.

TEMPLATES

feature
  • checkmark

    Both ClickUp and ProdGoal offer templates to build your projects with. You can also use individual features to customize it further.

UNLIMITED BOARDS

feature
  • checkmark

    Board views are similar in both tools. You can create an unlimited number of boards in ProdGoal and ClickUp. They are very flexible so you can organize and fine-tune your workflow very easily.

UNLIMITED ITEMS

feature
  • checkmark

    In both tools you can create unlimited tasks. And you can organize them by type. ProdGoal has types and ClickUp has tags.

  • checkmark

    Both are color-coded to make communication easier. You can create as many item types or tags as you need. But an additional feature that ProdGoal has and ClickUp doesn’t is item type categories. A sort of dependency for item types.

  • checkmark

    There is also a blocker flagging feature available to easily communicate whether a task is blocked or not. In ProdGoal that feature is turned on from the item’s options menu, while ClickUp has a more complicated approach. More will be said on that later.

  • checkmark

    Regarding assignees, you can assign any number of members who are working on the task. There is also an hourglass icon on the item that displays the total time the item spent in the “To Do” category and by clicking on it it shows the time a task has spent in each of the statuses.

  • checkmark

    Items also have attachment features. ClickUp offers up to 100 MB of storage space in its free plan, while ProdGoal offers 5 MB of internal storage, but if you connect your Google Drive, it allows you to have unlimited storage space.

UNLIMITED USERS/GUESTS WITH PERMISSIONS

feature
  • checkmark

    There is no limit on users in both of the tools, but there is a catch in ClickUp. Guests that the user invites to the project must be given full access. In other words, you can’t set permissions for users that enter your space. In ProdGoal you have full control over the invited user’s permissions.

UNLIMITED STORAGE

feature
  • checkmark

    As already stated, ProdGoal gives 5MB storage space initially, but you can connect to your Google Drive and have its storage space at your disposal. ClickUp offers in its free plan 100 MB of storage.

NEXT-GEN ROADMAP

feature
  • checkmark

    Among all the features, ProdGoal offers a Next-gen Roadmap. It is a highly customizable and flexible roadmap that is easy to set up.

  • checkmark

    The columns and rows in the roadmap can be collapsed so you can hide the ones you don’t need and focus on the important ones instead.

  • checkmark

    There is also an option to set WIP limits, both low and high on the roadmap columns. The limits are displayed on the top of the column and tell you when you are close to or over the limit.

  • checkmark

    The rich-text editor is there to better describe by formatting the text or inserting the image.

  • checkmark

    Board items can be connected to and then displayed on a roadmap card as a list. They are sorted by their respective statuses and how many there are in each status.

AUTOMATIC ESTIMATES

feature
  • checkmark

    Prodgoal groups are a separate view where the items are listed. This is a little different feature than what ClickUp has to offer. Groups are an unlimited feature too, but the key takeaway is that the groups automatically estimate when the tasks in it will be done. It does that based on previous finished tasks, and it does so more accurately the more tasks are being done.

  • checkmark

    Items in the group list have an option to be connected to a roadmap card. It is an additional item feature available in the group view.

Why is ProdGoal an awesome ClickUp alternative?

benefit

It is free

It is really free and the features have no limitations. ProdGoal doesn’t require credit cards and has no hidden fees.

Many features ProdGoal gives for free are found in ClickUp’s paid plans, so if you are looking for a really free Kanban tool, ProdGoal is the one.

benefit

It is easy to use

When you first sign up for ProdGoal, a sample product is created with templates to introduce you to ProdGoal’s features. The features are simple yet very thought-through so you will have no trouble using them.

In ClickUp, some features are hard to use even on the basic level, like item options for example. The complexity of something that in reality should be simple can sometimes be a little overwhelming.

benefit

It is user friendly

The colors in ProdGoal are vivid and chosen to communicate their purpose clearly, while in ClickUp many similar hues could easily be mistaken one for another.

ProdGoal fonts and element size fit nicely on the page so you can see clearly where are the buttons and icons that you can click, which is often not the case in ClickUp as some icons are hard to notice or click.

benefit

It automatically forecasts when tasks will be done

The groups feature where you arrange the tasks automatically forecasts when the tasks will be done. It is done based on historical data. And, of course, it is free. The more tasks are finished, the more accurate the calculation is.

And there is no such feature in ClickUp. Its calendar and timeline features are lacking in flexibility and usability, and if knowing when something is going to be done is important to you, ProdGoal’s feature will be very helpful to you and your team.
