Hi Ardi - apologies, we were late with this one. 2FA is now available for self-hosted ActiveCollab.

ActiveCollab is the work management platform for agencies and service businesses — from a task to an invoice, just like that. Plan projects in List, Kanban or Gantt view, track time on every task with a built-in stopwatch, manage workload and capacity, and turn tracked time into estimates, invoices and profitability reports. Budgets, expenses, billable rates and online payments (Stripe, PayPal) are built in — no bolt-ons. Bring clients inside: client seats are unlimited and free on every plan, with their own view of progress, files and approvals. Connect Google Drive, Dropbox, Slack, Zapier and QuickBooks, and let your AI assistant work in your workspace through the built-in MCP server. Available in the cloud or self-hosted on your own server. 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
ActiveCollab (activecollab.com) has 5 customer reviews on Five Star Index, with an average rating of 4.4 out of 5.

I've been using the software for almost two years now for my marketing agency. In those two years, ActiveCollab upgraded to new version, and introduced a ton of new features, but most importantly their customer service is something that made a whole difference for us. Since we're using profitability features, we almost had to re-learn all our processes in order to set things up properly, and ActiveCollab's customer support was super responsive. We tried others, and they are either too expensive or too complicated to use with super slow support. ActiveCollab was a bullseye for us – couldn't recommend them more!

I've been using Active Collab for 3 month within my new team. AC has everything essential for a stable and easy workflow: instant push and email notifications, Timesheet and Stopwatches, which help me track and see my work time between many tasks. I'm trying to find something I wouldn't be pleased with, but can't. Also, haven't got a single issue or bug with this software, bravo!

First of all, this software is really easy to use. Our agency team loves the Gantt charts and task list mode, it looks very organized. There are so many useful features such as time tracking and invoicing which makes our work lot easier and makes us more productive. We cannot imagine daily collaboration with remote teams and clients without AcitveCollab.

It really looks like a nice product; and in the trial offer it was. But when the trial was over, the nice things were over too. No user friendly acces anymore, but technical complicated steps to put the data on our server. That didn't work instantly, although everybody at Active Collab was very friendly; it took weeks to get it started. Finally it worked, but only from outside; when being at the office, you couldn't enter. Now I can't log in for weeks, because I am not recognized as a user, my e-mailadress can't recover a new password etc. Don't buy this. Use the free Google Drive; less features, but also less trouble.
