Copper Project features a personal to-do list, allowing users and project managers to review tasks from any time period based upon their selections. Issues can be flagged for follow up and tasks are tracked as "Mine, Owed, and All," making oversight and productivity simple and straightforward.

One of the truly outstanding features of Copper Project is the abiility to upload and share files. This keeps companies from having the need to place files on a separate server, and it complies with the evolving green workforce standards.

The calendar allows the view of meetings, tasks, and public holidays. It is shared by all program users. At a glance, you can see everything that must be completed for the month or for a week at a time.

Copper Project offers three different general programs and a custom enterprise option. For the standard program, the monthly subscription rate is $29 per month, or users can download the program fro $499. This will cover up to 15 users. The Corporate program runs $99 per month or $1299 downloaded for up to 50 users. The Enterprise version is $199 per month, $2999 for download and covers up to 200 users.

While Copper Project does offer options for enterprises, the main market is small to mid-sized businesses given its pricing.
