ProofHub stands out for having a chats and discussions feature that makes it possible to send personal or general messages to team members. It also allows you to take notes to record critical information.
ProofHub is a team collaboration, project management, and time tracking software all rolled into one. It has extensive features that cater to teams in any industry. All its features are designed to make the software a centralized location for discussions, workflow management, and tasks assignment.
With ProofHub’s discussions feature, for example, you can create a topic, add a description, and add team members to receive notifications for the activities within your topic. Added team members can also respond via an email that is automatically generated for every discussion created. In addition, users within a discussion space can send attachments (PDFs, docs, JPEGs, etc.). To get a better understanding of how the discussions feature works, think Slack channels but within a time tracking/project management software.
Speaking of project management, ProofHub offers a range of features to organize tasks and projects. Projects can be created and organized as tables, boards, or with Gantt charts - whatever suits your needs. You can also plan and manage workflows through a calendar feature that is sharable to team members. This feature is helpful to see upcoming events and task assignments. Using the calendar’s automatic reminder feature, users can be notified of these events before their start dates.
Tasks can be assigned to an individual or a team with corresponding milestones, time estimates, and deadlines. You can also label tasks for easy organization. For even more organization and tracking, ProofHub enables you to give tasks specific ID numbers to differentiate them from other tasks. This feature is useful for record keeping purposes and would come in handy during audits. Using the task history feature, you can see how much your tasks have progressed over time.
ProofHub also allows you to keep notes within the platform. Notes are very useful to store meeting minutes, project guidelines, or other critical information about tasks and projects. From the notes section you can store any number of notes in notebooks and add subscribers to each note. Subscribers are team/project members that can view and refer to your notes at any time.
ProofHub provides a bunch of reports to give you a clear view of the things going on in your organization. The software gives reports on resource utilization, project progress, schedules, and timesheet reports. These reports can be downloaded as PDF files. The only drawback here is that the reports feature is not available on their basic price plan.
For better focus and work management, ProofHub makes it possible to see details about tasks, projects, deadlines, etc., with different views. The profile view, for example, helps users see activities, assigned tasks, and projects all in one place. Perhaps the best part of this functionality is the ability to customize a personal space (the “me” view dashboard) to show whatever you want. Using widgets, you can display assigned tasks, milestones, events, announcements, projects, and even shortcuts for easy access. This feature can be helpful to improve focus on work items that are important to you.
Still on the me view subject, you can use the agenda widget to organize your day. This widget will display all the work you have for a present day, upcoming events, and overdue tasks across all your projects.
As an admin personnel or manager, you can create custom roles and grant access levels to team members. This is a great feature for creating hierarchy in your organization. The software also provides white labeling services. You can customize your ProofHub account to display your brand logo, custom domain, and theme color.

ProofHub offers two per-month based pricing plans. The plans are as follows:
A good thing about ProofHub’s price model is that it is on a per-month basis instead of the more common per user per month basis. Which is a good deal for a larger team.
ProofHub is best for small to medium-sized businesses that want a well-rounded team collaboration platform together with their time tracking.
You can start using ProofHub by clicking the Start your free trial button at the top-right corner of their website. You may also go to their pricing page and purchase a plan if you're interested in their paid offerings. Once your company account is created, you can begin personalizing it and adding your team(s).
ProofHub has a help center with resources that customers can access 24/7. Should customers need further assistance, they can reach out to ProofHub's support team via email.
Sandeep Kashyap, the founder and CEO of ProofHub, practically grew up learning website design when he first discovered it at a very young age. His love and dedication to web design pushed him to start a software company in 2007 that creates web-based applications that enable people to work together and interact more effectively— SDP labs.
During his web design career, Sandeep noticed the continuous problems designers faced with approval and feedback backs and forths. As part of his longing to solve this problem, he founded ProofMini— a proofing tool that allows designers to quickly get approvals and manage feedback. This lightweight approval software soon evolved to become a team collaboration and task management platform in 2011. The name? ProofHub.
Like his initial company, SDP Labs, ProofHub never took in any round of funding. They have been bootstrapped from the beginning and at this present moment, have taken no other investments.
