How we grade them

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BThe one paid plan is $7.99 a user a month billed annually, or $9.99 monthly, which is bang on typical for this category. Everything is in it, with no higher tier to chase. New customers pay $5.99 for a first term, then the regular rate. | A$7 a person a month on yearly billing gets unlimited storage, Gantt charts, time tracking and guests. Asana and monday.com both start higher. Just know AI is a separate bill. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree forever for individuals, with 10 personal projects and 500MB of storage. But it's for personal, non-commercial use, with no project members, guests, teams or time tracking. So it's a solo planner, not a free team plan. | BUnlimited tasks and unlimited members for free is rare. But storage stops at 60MB, you get 5 spaces and 1 form, and the fancier features are only there to try. |
| Features | BA week planner where tasks and events sit on days, a waiting list for undated ones, kanban and table views, workload that counts meetings too, and a task timer. Solid for day-by-day planning. We've no Gantt chart or automations on record for it. | ATasks in 15+ views, docs, chat, whiteboards, dashboards, goals, time tracking and automations, all in one workspace. It's hard to name a thing it doesn't have a go at. |
| Ease of use | BWe have no App Store rating on record for it, so a B is as high as we go. The idea is easy to grasp: give a task a day, or leave it on the waiting list. Their own pages can't agree if the trial is 14 days or 7 days, mind. | CHere's where it loses marks. Reviewers describe confusing menus and a week of videos without it clicking, and the phone app gets called slow and cluttered. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWeb, iPhone and Android, with a public API on the organization plan. That earns the A on our ladder. The integrations list is short, though: Google Calendar and Google Meet. | AWeb, Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android and a Chrome extension. There's a public API, and it hooks into Slack, GitHub, GitLab, HubSpot, Google Drive, Figma and more. |
| Best for | planning team work day by day on a calendar | teams that want everything in one app |
