6 free alternatives to Acunote

nTask's free plan is broader on collaboration mechanics than Acunote's small-team cap suggests. It includes up to 5 team members, unlimited workspaces, unlimited tasks and to-do lists, unlimited meetings, unlimited issue tracking, and unlimited timesheets for team time tracking. It also adds 100MB file storage, calendar-style views, notifications, multiple assignees, realtime collaboration, document sharing, integrations, mobile apps, user management, and two-factor authentication. That makes it a useful fit if your team wants more workflow surface area without paying. It falls short on seat room, since it stops at 5 members, the same ceiling as Acunote. Switch if you want a free plan with more built-in project and collaboration features around the same team size.

• Beats Acunote: More free workflow features, especially time tracking, meetings, and integrations.
• Falls short: No more than 5 team members, same as Acunote.
• Who should switch: Switch to nTask if your free-tier priority is feature breadth for a very small team.

Teamcamp's free plan is generous on team size and project count. It includes up to 10 users, unlimited projects, 250 tasks, 1 GB storage, time tracking, docs and whiteboard, invoicing and payment, integrations, and free support. For teams that want a simple project hub with client-facing billing and collaboration extras, that is a useful bundle. Compared with Acunote, the key advantage is the larger included team, which gives you more breathing room before you have to upgrade. It falls short on task depth and storage flexibility because the plan is capped at 250 tasks and 1 GB of storage. Switch if your biggest issue with Acunote is seat count and you can live within modest task and storage limits.

• Beats Acunote: Higher free user limit, with up to 10 users instead of 5.
• Falls short: Task and storage caps are tighter than Acunote's broader small-team framing.
• Who should switch: Switch to Teamcamp if you need a larger free team and basic client work features.

Plane's free tier is aimed at teams that want a fuller project-management workspace without paying early. It includes core project management with projects, work items, comments, cycles, modules, pages, layouts, views, bulk operations, initiatives, updates, project overviews, project states, progress overview, milestones, dependencies, and recurring work items. It also includes 500 AI credits per seat shared across the workspace, support for up to 12 users, basic estimates and views, basic roles, limited guests, and basic support channels. The main free-tier advantage is the larger workspace size and the broad set of planning tools. It falls short if you need paid-level customization, because the free plan keeps the setup basic. Switch if you want more users and more planning structure before paying.

• Beats Acunote: Most free headroom on user count, with up to 12 users.
• Falls short: More of the advanced workflow and customization sits behind paid tiers.
• Who should switch: Switch to Plane if you want the most room for a small team plus a richer project-management surface.

Kanban Tool's free plan is very small but straightforward: 2 boards, 2 users for free, and no file attachments. That makes it a simple way to keep a visual board online with minimal setup. It is best when you want a narrow, board-first workflow and do not need much beyond basic kanban use. Compared with Acunote, it is much more constrained on seats and board count, but the product focus is sharper if your team lives on boards rather than broader Scrum tooling. It falls short badly on team size, so it is only a fit for tiny use cases. Switch if you want the lightest possible free kanban board and do not need Acunote's small-team project space.

• Beats Acunote: Simpler board-first workflow with minimal setup.
• Falls short: Only 2 users and 2 boards, far less room than Acunote.
• Who should switch: Switch to Kanban Tool if you only need a tiny visual board and can work within strict caps.

Yodiz's free Starter plan gives you up to 3 users, unlimited projects, and hosted AWS cloud access, with everything included in the free plan. That is a compact option for very small agile teams that want cloud hosting and unlimited project count without a lot of feature negotiation. Its main strength is simplicity: the plan is clear, perpetual, and focused on the core starter experience. It falls short of Acunote on user room because it caps at 3 users, so it is less suitable for a full small-team setup. Switch if you are an individual or duo that wants unlimited projects and does not mind an even tighter seat limit.

• Beats Acunote: Unlimited projects with a very simple starter package.
• Falls short: Lower user cap at 3, below Acunote's 5.
• Who should switch: Switch to Yodiz if you are a very small team and care more about unlimited projects than seat count.

Jira's free plan is the most established option for issue tracking and lightweight agile coordination. It includes unlimited goals, projects, tasks, and forms, plus backlog, list, board, timeline, calendar, and summary views, reports and dashboards, 100 automation rule runs per month, 2 GB storage, community support, up to 10 users, 100 email notifications per day, and single-project dependency management. The main free-tier advantage over Acunote is the larger user cap and the extra automation and reporting surface. It falls short when you need paid support or more storage, because the free plan stays limited to community help and 2 GB. Switch if your team is centered on issue tracking and wants the most mature free planning and reporting set.

• Beats Acunote: Higher free user cap and more automation/reporting features.
• Falls short: Still limited to community support and 2 GB storage.
• Who should switch: Switch to Jira if issue tracking is the main job and you want the largest free planning surface.
