MeisterTask

Kanban project boards

Tasks sit on boards with customizable sections and carry attachments, comments, due dates, tags and watchers. The Basic plan allows 3 projects.

Notes knowledge base

Shared notes are built from content blocks, grouped into folders and written together in real time. Basic allows 5 notes; paid plans have no limit.

Timeline views

Tasks or projects can be laid out on a Gantt timeline to show deadlines, overlaps and dependencies. Timeline is included from the Business plan.

Reports and time tracking

Every plan has 5 preset reports and built-in time tracking on tasks. Custom reports and a per-member team overview are added on Business.

Meister AI

AI features search the notes knowledge base and help with writing. Each request uses one credit: 20 a month on Basic, 75 on Pro and 350 on Business.

Automations and recurring tasks

From the Pro plan, tasks can repeat automatically and automations take over routine workflow steps. Pro also opens the API and third-party integrations.

Stackfield

Tasks in list, kanban and Gantt views

Tasks carry due dates, assignees, subtasks, custom fields and customizable statuses, and appear as a list, a kanban board with swimlanes, a Gantt chart or a calendar.

Project planning

Gantt timelines with dependencies, milestones, baselines, auto-scheduling and a critical path come with every plan. Portfolios and PERT charts need Premium.

Team chat, discussions and calls

Rooms have a team chat, thread-based discussions and polls. One-to-one audio and video calls are on every plan; group conferences start on Premium.

End-to-end encryption

Content is encrypted in the browser with AES and RSA before it is stored, so the company says it cannot read messages, files or tasks. Servers are in Germany.

Pages, files and whiteboards

Pages act as a wiki, files sit in folders with versioning, and whiteboards on Premium can be edited by several people at once.

Time tracking and reports

Time tracking with estimates and a timer, budget planning for time and money, and filterable reports are included on every plan.
