What it really isA board-based project management tool from the makers of Clockify, with a free plan for unlimited users.
Our takePlaky competes on price and simplicity.
A whole team can work on shared boards for free, and paid seats cost less than most rivals. The limits show up when you need Gantt charts, automations or tools beyond the CAKE.com family, since native integrations stop at Clockify and Pumble. For a small team that lives in boards, that trade can be worth it.
Why we rate itFree unlimited users, low paid seat prices and stated 24/7 human support.
The catchFew native integrations, and Gantt and automations sit behind paid plans.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Minutes: sign up, create a board and invite the team.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    When you need SSO and permissions (Enterprise) or integrations beyond Clockify, Pumble and the API.
  3. Walled garden
    Moderate: native links only to CAKE.com apps; the API is the route to anything else.
