Prices above 100 users are quoted by sales, and Enterprise (private deployment) has no listed price.
The free plan covers 25 users and is cloud only.

How this page was made

Where any alternative here is in our top three project management tools, the best for most people is the highest placed of them: the top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades. Otherwise the page names the highest-graded alternative in the same category as PingCode, the one its listing names first winning a tie. The best free one is the highest-graded alternative that is free or has a free plan (a free trial does not count), with its catch quoted from its listing where the listing states a short one. The GPA is the average of our five grades for each tool.
The alternatives are the tools PingCode’s listing names as its closest substitutes, and the tools whose listings name PingCode.
