Agency Project Management Software
Alternatives to project-open
project-open is built for service-industry operations that span projects, portfolios, IT service management and professional services administration. It combines planning, staffing, tracking, collaboration and accounting with cross-project dependencies, approvals, capacity management, incident and change handling, SLA management, expenses, invoicing, payments, absence management and time tracking. Automation rules, guest access, APIs and several deployment routes—including self-hosting and SaaS—extend its reach. The Community Edition is free, with Linux support for unlimited users and a Windows installer suited to five or six concurrent users.

Choosing instead of project-open
Switching can make sense when that breadth is not your priority or when its commercial terms do not fit. Professional and Enterprise editions require at least 20 licenses and include two or six support requests per year. Other products offer mobile apps, focused task or Gantt workflows, groupware and CRM, or lower starting prices. Compare each option’s platforms, user limits, hosting model, collaboration approach and time-tracking coverage against the service-management and PSA functions you would give up.
