I’ve been using Backpackit now for a few weeks, on their highest plan. I went that route for project management for my own projects, not Butter Label stuff. The newly redesigned Backpackit is really great.

But for some time now, I’ve also been playing with making my own using ExpressionEngine. Why? Because it’s there. And because I’m a tinkerer. No other reason.

This morning I told myself to stop tinkering if it wasn’t going to pan out into something useful, since it can suck up a lot of my time. So to help, I like to look at cost. Using EE, and since this will be for work, I’ll need a commercial license at $249. Which means 17.78… months before it starts paying for itself.

I’ll be onto the next big thing by then. Thank you Backpackit.
