Where each one falls short

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

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

Groove

  • Billed per ticket at $1 rather than per agent, so support cost scales with how many customers get in touch
  • A minimum of 250 tickets a month applies, which is a $3,000 annual commitment before any usage
  • A quiet month still pays the 250 ticket floor
  • No mailbox limit is published
