## What is marketing project management software?

Marketing project management software is the system a team uses to plan campaigns, schedule content, route work through review, and see what is late. It is not a design tool and it is not a marketing automation platform. It is the layer that answers who is doing what, by when, and what a piece of work is waiting on. Orangescrum does that job with unlimited users on every plan, in our Cloud or installed on your own servers.

The problem

## What to check _before you buy_

Pricing that punishes collaboration

Per seat tools make you decide which freelancers and stakeholders are worth paying for, so half the team stays outside.

✓ Flat monthly plans with unlimited users.

A calendar you have to maintain

Some tools give you a calendar that sits next to the tasks and has to be updated separately, which nobody keeps doing.

✓ A calendar view of the actual work items.

Statuses that do not fit

Marketing work is not To do, Doing, Done. It is drafting, in review, with legal, scheduled, live.

✓ Custom statuses per project, and a workflow designer in Self-Hosted.

No answer about where data lives

Regulated clients and public sector work often rule out putting campaign material in a vendor cloud.

✓ A Self-Hosted edition, plus a free open source edition.

What the software does

## The features marketing work _actually uses_

-   ### Campaign boards
    
    A Kanban board per campaign, with drag and drop between stages and subtasks under each deliverable.
    
-   ### Calendar and timeline
    
    Publish dates on a calendar, and campaign phases on a Gantt timeline with dependencies between them.
    
-   ### Review workflows
    
    Custom statuses per project. Self-Hosted adds a visual workflow designer with transition rules and permissions.
    
-   ### Time and cost
    
    Log time against campaign work, set budgets, and see cost build as the campaign runs rather than after it.
    
-   ### Reports that answer questions
    
    Progress, workload, and time by campaign, channel, or owner, ready when someone asks for a status.
    
-   ### Cloud or your own servers
    
    Run it in our Cloud, install the Self-Hosted edition, or take the free open source Community Edition.
    

How it works

## How to _evaluate it properly_

1

Start with one live campaign

Set up a campaign that is actually running rather than migrating a year of history.

2

Match your review stages

Rename statuses to the stages your work really has before you judge the fit.

3

Add everybody

Bring in the agency, the freelancers, and the stakeholders. There is no per user cost to hold you back.

4

Check the reports

See whether progress, workload, and time answer the questions you get asked every week.

Who it's for

## What it _replaces_

The campaign spreadsheet

A board and a calendar that update themselves as work moves.

The approval email thread

Review stages and watchers attached to the work item.

Frequently asked questions

## Marketing project management software _FAQ_

### How much does it cost?

Pricing is a flat monthly plan with unlimited users on every tier: Basic at 29 dollars, Pro at 69 dollars, and Premium at 349 dollars per month. Nothing is charged per seat. There is also a free forever Cloud plan for one project and one user, and a free open source Community Edition under AGPL with no user limit.

### How is this different from a design or proofing tool?

Orangescrum has no digital asset management and no creative proofing or annotation on images and video. It is the plan and workflow layer: who owns each deliverable, what stage it is at, and what is late. Most teams keep a proofing tool for the artwork itself and use Orangescrum for everything around it.

### Can it handle several campaigns at once?

Yes. Each campaign is its own project with its own board, calendar, and permissions, and programme management groups related campaigns so you can see progress across a quarter rather than one campaign at a time. Programme management is Premium in Cloud and included in Self-Hosted.

### What should we compare when looking at options?

Four things decide most of it. Whether the pricing model lets you include agencies and stakeholders, whether the calendar is generated from real work or maintained separately, whether statuses can be changed to your review stages, and whether the vendor can host on your infrastructure if a client demands it. Feature lists are long everywhere. Those four are where tools actually differ.

### Does it replace a marketing automation platform?

No. There is no email campaign sending, no social media scheduling, and no lead nurture or scoring. There is also no CRM and no sales pipeline. Orangescrum manages the work of producing and launching campaigns, not the execution of the channels themselves.

### Can we self-host it?

Yes. The Self-Hosted edition installs on your own servers or private cloud and includes everything that is Pro or Premium in Cloud, plus SSO, LDAP, document approvals, and the visual workflow designer. There is also a free and open source Community Edition, though it does not include reporting, custom fields, or Gantt.

### What does it integrate with?

There is a REST Partner API for building your own connections, email notifications, and a Microsoft Teams integration in the Self-Hosted edition. The prebuilt integration list is deliberately shorter than a large suite, so if you depend on a specific marketing stack connector, check with us before you commit.

### How long does setup take?

For one campaign, under an hour: create the project, rename the statuses to your review stages, add the deliverables as tasks with owners and dates, and invite the team. The parts that take longer are agreeing what your review stages actually are and deciding who approves what, which is a process question rather than a software one.
