For a smaller team, I'd recommend something lightweight like Trello or todo.vu.
A productivity suite based on cloud storage that is ideal for small teams, freelancers, contractors and consultants to track and organize teamwork across multiple in-house as well as outsource projects. It effectively helps in client relationship management, tracking task and time using intuitive and visual tools such as task bookmarking, custom labels and file drag and drop.Apart from task management, it also assists in setting billing rates on projects and staffs. All the documents can be integrated to Google Sheets for further analysis. Furthermore, it grants you access controls, real-time updates and email integration to achieve better quality, more efficiency and transparency.

The User Interface and ease of use for this software are amazing. One of the biggest highlights of Todo.u over others is I can visually file time spent on a project. After trying a lot of similar task management tools, we decided to stick with it because it is the best for both personal and business management. The time management features are excellent.
One of the negatives I find on Todo.vu is we can't export Contacts easily yet. Also, there is a bug that often happens when reordering subtasks. The team should fix these immediately.
A simple effective to do list that keeps me focused on our tasks. If you are looking for the same, you can opt for Todo.vu.
Todo.vo app saves us from the stress caused by having to keep track of all of our video creation works. If you are looking for a powerful Daily Project Management and To Do list, you can choose Todo.vu and I'm sure you won't regret.
This is a really helpful tool crucial for a product manager for keeping track of my deadlines and meeting the requirements for what I have to do in each day. I can priorities, make notes and read them later on when that task is coming up in line.
Probably the fact that sometimes I feel like I have too many software opened so that might be tricky because I only have my emails and other programs that have to do lists plus I have another excel spreadsheet to use as a to do list.
No problems with Todo. If I make sure that I have a back up so that I will not lose my tasks everything is OK. The benefits are meeting the deadlines and ensuring that I accomplish my tasks in time.
Pros: I am using todo.vu for quite some time to manage some of my project and daily driver. It did very good work for track time for tasks and manage projects. Average billing facilities. You need to spend some time on this software to use as a daily driver. The task manager, todo list and project manager is confusing at first and need to get used to due to their UI.
Cons: Set up time hi huge. I think a better getting started wizard will help to set up quickly. The calendar view of todo is really needed to visualize my past work, with notes so I can found my last and latest updates.
Overall: I love the time tracking feature, it is the only reason I am still using this service. One click and you get all the details on your tasks and project. This helps me to see and manage my time really efficiently. Manually logging time also gives me the ability to add time in a single invoice. Billing and CRM features are OK, I really don't use them much here. todo.vu needs to work on their UI better. All the menus overlapping I don't like. As a freelancer, it is a really good tool for my business.

Free for freelancers - I took advantage of the free trial and it is great. Able to visually file time spent on a project. Very user-friendly and easy to comprehend.
Server is down for maintenance more often than (what I would think) necessary. Other than that, not much to complain about.
A daily project management and to do list program that is perfect for my business and private life.
Providing service to a project that I worked on as a consultant. Was able to share comments easily with clients and colleagues working on the same team. A daily project management and to do list program that is perfect for my business and private life.
Kne of the best planning and time tracking tools. Great customer support and ease of use.
Billing section is complicated to navigate. Especially if the project involves multiple players. Not intuitive to distribute billing report across team members
Visually disolays time spent on a given project. Well layed out!

Thanks Mathieu, I appreciate your support and really constructive feedback.
Pros: It was easy to get started, learn and apply. Start up took a couple of minutes. Took 4 hours to master the whole thing. It rewards you for learning with real money. Setting up and tracking my client time, took me less than an hour.
Cons: The time start stop time is confusing.
Overall: At the end of the trial, I found more billing hours than I usually would by tracking on a calendar system. That's real money.

Carlos, I'm very sorry to hear of your experience. We have many thousands of active users so I'm sure this is an issue related to your setup. As with any web application, the performance will depend on your internet connection, your web browser and any plugins you may be running. If you contact our support at help@todo.vu then we will happily schedule a call to help you out.
Regards
Tom
***POST NOTE***
We managed to contact Carlos and discuss the issue. He tried again and it worked with no issues. So it does appear to have been a temporary connection issue related to his location and setup. To our knowledge nobody else has ever reported a similar issue and we have never been able to replicate the problem on any of our test systems.
Pros: It offers enough features on the fair price. It is highly intuitive and easy to use. I like it a lot.
Cons: Maybe the short list of tasks at one time. Sometimes I have many tasks - at home and work and I want to be able to see them all.
Overall: It does what it must - it is a project and task manager, also time tracker, and CRM,a collaboration tool and also billing tool.

Petya, thanks for your feedback, we do appreciate it.
Pros: The built in time tracking - right in the same screen as tasks - is incredible! it has allowed us to capture more time and have fewer small increments fall through the cracks!
Cons: Unfortunately, we've had to do some workaround with repeating tasks and changing plans for our clients, but it's a relatively minor setback for all of the good things about this system!
Overall: We're using ToDo.vu to manage client tasks, track time, make notes, and collaborate on work. It is more streamlined than our previous management systems, and far less expensive. It's a win all around!
For a smaller team, I'd recommend something lightweight like Trello or todo.vu.
