Ganttic vs Resource Guru (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Ganttic if

• Fits if you schedule people or equipment more than tasks
• Works for small teams with 10 resources or fewer

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you pass 10 resources: the free plan stops there and has no API
• Pricey if your staff or equipment list is long: cost follows resources, up to $7,900 a year for 1,500
• Not for you if you want day-to-day tasks and comments, as it is a planner
• Watch out: it is a web version only

Pick Resource Guru if

• Fits if you're an agency or consultancy scheduling people across client projects
• Works for teams that also book rooms, vehicles or equipment, at half the per-person price

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you're after task lists and boards, because this one schedules people's time
• Too light for reporting on Grasshopper, which has no reports, timesheets, Gantt charts or budgets and keeps 7 days of history
• Not for you if you want a free plan or a phone app, as there's only a 30-day trial and no apps are listed
• Watch out: everyone you add is billed whether they log in or not, as are all non-human resources and extra placeholders
• Pricey if you need single sign-on, an approval workflow or phone support, which all need Master at $12 a person

Ganttic

• Pricing follows the number of resources, not users, so a long staff or equipment list raises the cost.
• The free plan stops at 10 resources and has no API access.
• It is a planner for scheduling resources, not a task-and-comment tool for day-to-day work.
• The vendor lists a web version only.

Resource Guru

• Grasshopper has no reports, timesheets, Gantt charts or project budgets, and keeps activity history for only 7 days.
• Every person added to the account is charged for, whether or not they log in, as are all non-human resources and placeholders beyond the plan's allowance.
• Single sign-on, the approval workflow and phone support need the Master plan.
• There is no free plan, and the pricing page lists no mobile or desktop apps.

Resource scheduling

Bookings can be tentative, repeating, spread over several resources or set as a total number of hours, with clash management and time zone support on every plan.

Capacity and leave

The schedule shows each person's availability, workload and utilization. Leave management and public holiday calendars are included on every plan.

Rooms, vehicles and equipment

Resources that are not people, such as meeting rooms, vehicles and equipment, can be booked on the same schedule and cost half the per-person price.

Project planning with Gantt charts

From the Blackbelt plan, projects get start and end dates, milestones, rates and budgets, and phases can be mapped on Gantt charts against team capacity.

Timesheets

Weekly timesheets suggest entries from work already booked and include review and approvals, so forecast hours can be compared with actuals. Blackbelt and above.

Reports

Pre-built and customizable reports with exports and budget tracking start on Blackbelt. The Grasshopper plan has no reports.
