Where each one falls short

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

Teamgantt

  • The free plan is limited to 1 project and 40 tasks
  • Pricing is per project rather than per user, so cost scales with how much work is tracked
  • The Basic plan at $10 a month allows a single manager
  • Project health reports, cost loaded scheduling and custom boards are paid add ons on Basic at $12 to $24 a month each
  • The Builder Edition advertises $99 a month and rises to $199 after 3 months

Basecamp

  • The free tier allows one project and 1 GB of storage
  • Pro is $15 per user per month, so cost scales with headcount unlike the flat Pro Unlimited at $299 a month billed annually
  • Storage beyond the plan costs $50 a month per additional terabyte
  • Timesheet and the Admin Pro Pack are paid upgrades on Pro and only bundled with Pro Unlimited
