The Best Ganttpro

Updated June 2026·Experts: me.pcmag, g2 · Community: OnlineMarketing

Best OverallGanttPRO

GanttPRO

Owners consistently describe GanttPRO as the tool that “finally made Gantt charts feel approachable”, something they were up and running with in hours rather than days. G2 reviewers rate it above Jira and MS Project on ease of use, and PCMag handed it an Editors' Choice for exactly that reason. The tradeoff owners notice over time is “what's missing at the edges”: no invoicing for client billing, thin integrations, and no free fallback if the trial doesn't convert the whole team. For teams whose work lives inside a project timeline, though, the core experience is hard to fault.

What holds up

  • Highest-rated Gantt chart feature on G2 at 9.7/10, beating MS Project, Jira, and monday.com
  • Easiest setup and ease of use scores (9.4/10) among all major competitors on G2
  • Competitively priced starting at $7.99/user/month with a 14-day free trial requiring no credit card
  • Includes critical path, custom fields, board view, time tracking, and resource management
  • PCMag Editors' Choice winner and listed among best productivity apps for 2026

What to know

  • No free plan, only a 14-day trial, unlike TeamGantt or Jira which offer free tiers
  • No customizable reporting tools or dashboards
  • No billing or invoicing features, limiting use for client-facing work
  • Light on third-party integrations compared to Jira or monday.com
  • Minimum of 5 users required on most plans (unless paying annually)

Bottom line ★

If Gantt charts are central to how your team plans work, GanttPRO's industry-leading 9.7/10 chart score and same-day setup make it the easiest defensible choice at under $8 per user.

Best Alternative for Client WorkTeamwork

Teamwork

Teamwork owners tend to arrive from tools that forced them to manage projects in one place and billing in another, and the “relief of having both under one roof” is the most common thing they mention. PCMag recognized it as the top pick for client work specifically, citing its billing and invoicing layer as the differentiator. The honest caveat from owners is that “the added depth comes with added complexity”: solo users and small internal teams often find it more tool than they need. Those doing real agency or client-facing work, however, rarely look back.

What holds up

  • Includes billing, invoicing, and proofing capabilities missing from GanttPRO
  • Free tier available with up to 5 projects
  • Excellent video tutorials and onboarding resources
  • Top-notch customization options for roles and permissions
  • 100GB storage included at paid tier

What to know

  • Paid plans are more expensive than GanttPRO
  • Overkill for teams that don't do client-facing work
  • Can feel complex for very small teams or solo users

Bottom line ★

For agencies and client-service teams that need to track billable hours and send invoices from the same platform they manage projects in, Teamwork eliminates the spreadsheet workaround that every GanttPRO user eventually builds.

Best for Growing TeamsZoho Projects

Zoho Projects

Owners who land on Zoho Projects are usually driven there by price, and what surprises them is “how little they give up for it”, time tracking, custom templates, and Gantt views are all present without the premium markup. PCMag named it an Editors' Choice for small and growing teams, pointing to its value density as the core reason. The friction owners mention is “a resource management view that takes some getting used to”, and Gantt chart depth that doesn't quite match GanttPRO's. For teams already inside the Zoho suite, though, the native integrations alone tend to close the argument.

What holds up

  • Starts at $3/person/month, significantly cheaper than GanttPRO
  • Free tier available with up to 3 projects
  • Deep configuration options including custom project templates
  • Strong time tracking tools built in
  • Integrates natively with the full Zoho suite (Meetings, Payroll, etc.)

What to know

  • Slightly unusual resource management view compared to competitors
  • AI features may not be relevant to most small teams
  • Less focused on Gantt charts specifically than GanttPRO
Expert verdict
Editors' Choice for small and growing teams, excellent value
PCMagView source
Bottom line ★

At $3 per person per month with a free tier included, Zoho Projects is the most cost-efficient way to get full-featured project management, especially if you're already paying for anything else in the Zoho ecosystem.

Best Free Gantt OptionTeamGantt

TeamGantt

TeamGantt owners often describe it as “the tool they used to prove the concept”, a way to get real Gantt chart functionality in front of a team or client without a budget conversation first. With 891 G2 reviews at 4.8/5 and a drag-and-drop score that edges out GanttPRO, the experience holds up under scrutiny. The ceiling owners hit is “the free plan's hard limits”: one project and 60 tasks is enough to evaluate, not enough to operate. Those who convert to paid find a capable tool; those who don't often find themselves graduating to GanttPRO when the work outgrows the free tier.

What holds up

  • Free forever plan available (1 manager, 2 collaborators, 1 project, 60 tasks)
  • Matches GanttPRO's 4.8/5 G2 rating with even more reviews (891 vs 525)
  • Strong drag-and-drop interface (9.3/10 on G2, slightly ahead of GanttPRO)
  • Calendar view available (not offered by GanttPRO)
  • Solid ease of setup score of 9.3/10 on G2

What to know

  • Free plan is very limited (1 project, 60 tasks only)
  • Slightly lower task prioritization and dependency scores than GanttPRO
  • Less strong on planning and project map features vs GanttPRO
  • Fewer mass update capabilities than GanttPRO

Bottom line ★

TeamGantt is the only tool in this category that matches GanttPRO's G2 rating while offering a genuinely usable free plan, making it the right starting point for anyone who needs real Gantt charts before they're ready to pay for them.
