Morningmate

Morningmate is a consolidated workspace combining project management, team communication (built-in chat), file sharing, and Gantt charts into one platform. Its killer feature for indie hackers and growing teams is the flat pricing model: no per-user charges. The Advanced plan ($159/month) covers 20–300 team members with unlimited projects, eliminating the cost explosion that plagues Asana and Slack users. For a 20-person team, Morningmate costs $159/month vs. $900+ for Asana + Slack, making it 80% cheaper while consolidating three tools.\n\nThe platform excels at simplifying team operations: built-in Gantt charts, real-time collaboration, task templates, and integrations with Google Workspace, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams. Morningmate's Starter tier ($39/month) supports teams up to 30 members, and the Advanced tier ($159/month) scales to 300 members. With 4.5/5 rating on G2 and emphasis on reducing tool sprawl, Morningmate appeals to founders tired of juggling Asana, Slack, and Google Meet. Trade-off: fewer integrations and advanced customization than ClickUp, but the simplicity and cost savings justify it for bootstrapped teams.
