It was very close to being the ideal tool and I will explain below why. In the end I have decided to choose Perfex.

Luckily there are some that offer self-hosted product that could be installed on your own server.Д«elow is a list of the best customer relationship and project management software for freelancers and agencies that I have reviewed. Most companies deliver project management software using SaaS model, for example Basecamp. Domain: You can use your domain name, for example /clients or.Resources: You are free to use all of the system resources.Privacy: Nobody except you will have access to the data.Control: Complete control over website and service.Setting up software on your own server and maintaining it requires a bit more work but benefits may outweigh the extra time needed. However some features has been removed in the free version and paid self-hosted version was somewhat expensive considering other products on the market. The company behind FengOffice released version 2.0 offering both free community edition and paid professional edition. However it lacks some important features and is no longer developed and supported.

Until recently I have been using free and open-source FengOffice 1.7.5. I prefer self-hosted solution over cloud-based solution primarily because I would like to have a complete control and own my data. But ideally it should all-in-one solution to reduce time and effort integrating multiple services together.

Some freelancers and agencies use a separate service for each of those tasks, for example FreshBooks for invoicing, Trello or Wrike for task management and so on. It is impossible to run consulting business without tools for customer relationship management, project management, time tracking, collaboration and invoicing.
