Number of Seats/Users: Task Board offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows Task Board that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from Task Board. Task Board reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: Task Board offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from Task Board. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: Task Board often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Here at Spendbase our internal data shows that Task Board (formerly Doddle) delivers strong value, especially for teams that care about usability and client-facing collaboration.

Key positives Spendbase clients highlight:

• Very easy to use
• Simple, logical UX; people say they “didn’t have to think” to find features.
• Technophobes and first-time users got up to speed quickly.

• Kanban-style boards make progress and completion highly visible.

• Great for structured work and training

• Works well for online courses, coaching, and LinkedIn training programmes.
• Daily tasks, videos, and content delivery keep users focused and on track.

• Built-in chat/Q&A makes it simple to keep all communications in one place.

• Efficient collaboration with clients and teams

• Channels and workflows give a clear overview of tasks and status.
• Clients can see what’s happening and comment directly, cutting down on status emails and miscommunication.

• Good fit for remote work, training delivery, and multi-project oversight.

• Extra business features

• Direct invoicing from within the platform is a notable plus.

• Some clients run both project tracking and billing in one place, reducing tool sprawl.

• Service quality

• Support is repeatedly described as fast, friendly, and willing to tweak the platform.
• Onboarding into existing businesses and programmes is reported as smooth.

Main friction points our internal data surfaces:

• Pricing and free tier

• Several Spendbase clients mention limited access on the free plan and a perceived step up in cost for premium.

• Mobile and UI limitations

• Interface can feel cramped or awkward on phones.
• When many time slots or columns exist, scrolling and visibility become tedious.

• Some want more control over colour schemes/branding.

• Guidance and clarity

• A few clients would like clearer tutorials and guidance (e.g., how to submit assignments, navigation back to certain views).
• Edge cases like complex scheduling polls or nuanced content delivery rules (Mon–Fri vs 7 days, dependency on previous tasks) could be more flexible.

From a Spendbase cost-optimization angle, Task Board stands out as:
– High usability out of the box
– Strong for training/coaching and client collaboration
– Potentially needing a closer look at tier selection to avoid overpaying for advanced features you may not use.
