|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D£1,530 per licence a year with UK VAT, about £128 a month, far above the dearest tenth of the category. It is a specialist tool, but the figure is the UK shop price. | CCore is $8 a user a month billed annually, $9 monthly, which is exactly the middle price in this category, and $7 from 20 users. Ordinary, then. Mind the ladder above it: custom fields need Advanced at $12, and workload, budgets, time tracking and the API need Business at $19. |
| Free plan and trial | D14-day free trial download, no free plan, and card terms are not stated. | CNo free plan at all. There's a 14-day trial with everything switched on and no card asked for, and then you subscribe. On your own you can only buy it annually. |

It does the construction planning job fully, which is a narrower job than general project management. | CThe Gantt side is done fully: dependencies, auto scheduling, critical path, baselines, milestones, plus board, list and dashboard views and export to PDF, PNG, XLSX and XML. But that is the narrower half of running a project, and workload, portfolio, budgets, reports and time logs all need Business. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. Construction scheduling software takes training. | CNo store rating on record.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
