We were struggling with clickup for a while because of performance issues and too many features that bloated it. At the same time it was always a disconnection to communicate with staff and freelancers on slack while the project tasks were sitting in clickup.
Edworking seemed too good to be true at first, solving all of this in a LTD! But we tested it for a month now in our team and everybody is happy! Simpler task setup than clickup, better performance and finally projects and messaging in the same app! Of course, this is still in development, but their great support team is very responsive when needed. They even helped us to migrate from clickup. Overall, probably the best deal we ever bought on appsumo!
