GoodDay

Pros

• The free plan allows up to 15 members with unlimited projects, which is generous for small teams.
• Paid plans are inexpensive: Professional costs $4 per user per month on annual billing.
• Projects can be nested without limit and the Action Required view shows who owns the next step, which reviewers praise for accountability.
• The Business plan bundles resource management, finance, CRM and a customer portal, so teams may need fewer separate tools.
• There are native apps for web, iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux.

Cons

• Reviewers often criticize customer support, and one directory lists it as email only.
• Users report a limited mobile app, weak search and an unreliable bulk task uploader.
• The vendor is small, about 20 to 30 employees, which may worry large enterprise buyers.
• Two-factor authentication is only on Business and above, and SAML SSO only on Enterprise.
• There are fewer native integrations than with larger rivals, so many connections depend on Zapier.
