The short version

  • Only CouchDB has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: CouchDB append-only storage model may have performance implications for certain workloads with high update rates; GanttPRO workload management, portfolios, reports and budget planning all require the Business plan at $17 per user per month
  • They diverge on capability: CouchDB covers Multi-master Replication, GanttPRO covers Gantt charts.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

CouchDB

  • Append-only storage model may have performance implications for certain workloads with high update rates
  • Requires network synchronisation for cluster data consistency; can introduce latency in multi-master scenarios
  • No explicit support for complex joins; MapReduce queries may be inefficient compared to relational databases

GanttPRO

  • Workload management, portfolios, reports and budget planning all require the Business plan at $17 per user per month
  • SAML SSO, custom roles and API access are Enterprise only at $25 per user per month
  • The Enterprise plan carries a 5 user minimum and requires an annual subscription
  • Custom fields and calendar view are excluded from the entry Core plan
  • Every published rate assumes annual billing, which the vendor prices 20% below monthly
