The short version

  • Each has a real cost: BambooHR organisations of 25 or fewer employees pay a flat rate starting at $250 a month, so a very small team pays far more per head than the listed per-employee price; Freedcamp plans are differentiated mainly by file upload size, at 10 MB on free, 25 MB on Pro, 100 MB on Business and 250 MB on Enterprise
  • They diverge on capability: BambooHR covers Employee database, Freedcamp covers Tasks.
