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
Hive
- The free plan is capped at 200 MB of storage
- The Starter plan at $5 per user per month is limited to 10 projects
- Eight capabilities are sold as $5 per user add ons on the Teams plan, including CRM, timesheets, proofing, resourcing, advanced dashboards, external users and SSO
- Buying SSO plus a few of those add ons therefore costs more than the $12 base seat itself
- AI credits are metered monthly at 1,000, 3,000 and 5,000 by plan
