5day.io review

5day.io is project management software built for marketing teams to plan campaigns, organize tasks, collaborate and track time. Its focus is the work around marketing projects: customizable templates cover SEO, paid ads, content and product launches, while a campaign dashboard shows progress and flags work that is on track or at risk. Teams can link dependent tasks to see how delays may affect launch dates and commitments.

The product also supports client workspaces with controlled access for clients and stakeholders. Time can be logged from tasks or in bulk, with reports available for client billing. Its AI agents use project and brand context to help create social content, campaign strategies and plans.

There is a free Starter plan for up to five users, one workspace and five projects. The listed Growth price is $9.99 per user per month; the pricing page says yearly billing saves 20%, but does not say which billing term the displayed prices represent.

The main advantage is that 5day.io organizes marketing work around campaigns rather than treating every project as a generic task list. Teams can start from workflows for SEO, paid ads, content or product launches, then use the campaign dashboard to follow progress and spot work at risk. Dependencies add a useful planning layer: linked tasks make it easier to see how a delay could affect a launch date or commitment.

Client work is also accounted for. Separate client workspaces and controlled access can help teams manage external projects, while task-based or bulk time entry feeds reports for billing. The AI agents have project and brand context, according to the product description, so they are intended to create content and plans with more than a bare prompt.

• Starter costs $0 and includes up to 5 users, 1 workspace, 5 projects and 50 MB of storage.
• Growth is listed at $9.99 per user per month and includes 50 projects, 100 custom fields, 25 workflows, 500 workflow cycles per month and 5 GB of storage.
• Scale is listed at $15.99 per user per month, with unlimited dashboard widgets, custom fields and storage, plus 500 workflows and 5,000 workflow cycles per month.

The plan limits matter if a team expects to grow or automate heavily. Starter stops at 5 users, 1 workspace, 5 projects and 50 MB of storage. Growth raises the project cap to 50, but still sets limits of 25 workflows, 500 workflow cycles per month and 5 GB of storage. Scale removes some caps, but its 500 workflows and 5,000 monthly workflow cycles are still defined limits—not unlimited automation.

Price comparison also needs care. The pricing page lists Growth at $9.99 and Scale at $15.99 per user per month, and says annual billing saves 20%, but does not identify the billing term used for those displayed prices. Enterprise pricing is custom, so the total cost is not published. Starter is free, and the offer also lists a 30-day free trial; the available pricing details do not explain how the trial relates to the free plan.

Public support detail is limited. Enterprise includes a dedicated customer success manager, data migration and onboarding support, but the published plan details do not specify comparable support for Starter, Growth or Scale. Teams should confirm those terms before switching.

5day.io lists a free Starter plan for up to 5 users, 1 workspace, 5 projects and 50 MB of storage. Growth costs $9.99 per user/month and raises the limits to 50 projects, 100 custom fields, 25 workflows, 500 workflow cycles per month and 5 GB of storage. Scale is $15.99 per user/month: that’s a $6-per-user monthly step up, with unlimited custom fields and storage, plus 500 workflows and 5,000 workflow cycles per month. Enterprise pricing is custom.

The pricing page says yearly billing saves 20%, but it does not say whether the displayed prices are monthly or annual billing rates. Confirm the billing term before comparing costs. A 30-day free trial is listed; the published details don’t say which plan it covers. No paid add-ons are listed in the pricing information we reviewed. For agencies, count users as well as client workspaces: Growth and Scale are priced per user, not per workspace.

Treat a move to 5day.io as a data-migration question first. The published information does not document import or export options, supported file formats, or whether task history, time logs, dependencies and client access settings transfer. Check those points with 5day.io before moving live work. The pricing details list data migration and onboarding support for Enterprise, but do not specify whether other plans get migration help.

Before switching, inventory the workflows, custom fields, campaign plans and client workspaces you rely on; confirm how each will be recreated or moved. If leaving, ask for a sample export and verify it includes the records your team needs. Export and deletion terms are not published on the vendor's site, so don’t assume you can take everything with you. We also weren’t given Reddit posts or comments for this review, so we can’t substantiate user-reported reasons for leaving. Clarify data portability and billing terms before committing.
