The short version

  • Only PostgreSQL has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: GanttPRO workload management, portfolios, reports and budget planning all require the Business plan at $17 per user per month; PostgreSQL requires manual scaling across multiple machines for very large deployments
  • They diverge on capability: GanttPRO covers Gantt charts, PostgreSQL covers ACID Compliance.
