The one that has stuck with me and my team is ClockingIT. Not because it is free, but because it provides all the features needed for software development, support ticketing, and general project management. I was initially, and I am still a little insecure about the service model, but there have been no issues in almost 2 years now and I have not had any wish to move to another application. If you know of a better app, please suggest and we can all review it I have tried a number of the applications mentioned above (including a very paid version of 37 signals’ apps).

Contrary to the post title, ActiveCollab is not free anymore. Basecamp has nothing to fear - at least not the pricing. And I think it is not a bad thing. I like Basecamp to have competition to keep them innovating. And I like new initiatives that start out free. People should be paid for valuable applications they create. The model when an upstart provides appliction for free, until it is mature and its value is proven makes sense to me. Early adopters get something for "free" and latecomers get great value for their money What an irony. Contrary to the post title, ActiveCollab is not free anymore.
