Does "free" means a poorly designed software missing essential features?

Our users globally define Planzone as a very nice and intuitive interface.
In addition to that, the free version of Planzone is a full-featured online project management software. Thus, by subscribing for a Planzone “Free”, you get a workspace that you can use to share project data and collaborate on documents, to-do lists, project schedules, wiki pages, etc..

To whom is this free project management tool dedicated?

The free version of Planzone can perfectly suit various kinds of needs: here are some of the cases where it applies really well.

• Early stage businesses/ entrepreneurs
  When people create their own company, they usually have limited resources, and work with various contractors to support them on the various areas they have to work on. Sometimes it just starts with no office at all. In this case, having a free online workspace to collaborate with all partners and colleagues can bring a high value to a business, and may instantly provide a serious public image.
  
  
• Freelance worker
  When a worker starts to work independently as a freelance, there is not always a clear view about what the future can be made of. By adopting Planzone as your free online collaboration software, you just improve a lot your productivity and brand image without spending a cent for that. Once your customer portfolio books you on a full-time basis, it’s always possible to upgrade for a more powerful subscription plan, as you get a guarantee of regular incomes.
  
  
• Individuals
  Individuals can find themselves in situations where they work as volunteers: in a non-profit organisation for instance, or in the context of a group trip organization.
  In both cases, there is no question about spending money in a software solution. However, a free project management software that enables to plan and organize as a professional is inevitably spotted as a “must-have”. What would be the reason for not using something that can save you time and efficiency for free? Let yourself think about that.
  
  
• Other businesses who wish an extended time period for testing the product
  Although the “30 day trial” uses to be the classic formula for testing a product, we know that this can imply too many constraints for someone who do not have a clear view of when he’s going to test it, how deep he’ll be able to go in his test before making up his mind and so on. It’s obviously a great advantage to be able to test the free version of Planzone with no time-limit.
