TeamGantt vs Tom's Planner

TeamGantt

• Teams that plan around a schedule and want the Gantt chart first
• Teams with many occasional contributors, since Business has unlimited collaborators
• Construction firms, through the Builder Edition and its Procore sync

Tom's Planner

• People who have outgrown spreadsheets but do not want full project software
• A project manager sharing charts with team members on free accounts
• Quick Gantt charts for proposals and client updates

TeamGantt

• Paid plans are priced by project count, not per user. Base is capped at 5 projects, 1 manager, 10 collaborators and 150 tasks per project.
• The plan comparison marks critical path, workload management, the Kanban view and time tracking as Business and above.
• The free trial requires a credit card and bills automatically for the trialed plan when the 14 days end.
• The live pricing page localizes prices by country, so buyers outside the US may see amounts in another currency.

Tom's Planner

• The free Personal account is limited to 1 schedule of 200 rows and cannot print, export or invite collaborators.
• Embedding charts, saving schedules locally and JSON export are limited to the Unlimited plan.
• Paid plans are billed quarterly or yearly; the pricing page shows no month-to-month option.
• It runs in the browser, and the vendor's site lists no desktop or mobile apps.

TeamGantt

Drag-and-drop Gantt charts

Schedules are built by dragging tasks on a timeline, linking them with dependencies and adding milestones. Several projects can be viewed in a single Gantt chart.

Board, calendar and list views

The same plan can be switched between Gantt, board, calendar and list views that stay in sync. The plan comparison lists the Kanban view from Business up.

Workload and availability

An availability view shows how many tasks and hours each person has on a given day. Workload management and team resourcing are part of Business and Builder Edition.

Time tracking and estimates

Hourly estimates and time tracking let a team compare actual hours with the estimate. Both are marked as Business and Builder Edition features.

Sharing and collaboration

Notes, comments and files attach to tasks, and a public share link gives outsiders a live view of the schedule on every paid plan.

AI project creation

A project timeline can be generated with AI as a starting point. The comparison table includes AI project creation on Base, Business and Builder Edition.

Tom's Planner

Drag-and-drop time blocks

Add color-coded time blocks to a chart with the mouse, then stretch, shrink or move them as plans change. Several blocks can sit on the same row.

Dependencies

Link an activity to the one it depends on so that a large schedule stays up to date when dates move.

Progress tracking

Show status with percentages, traffic lights, icons or colored time blocks, whichever suits the project.

Zoomable timeline

Switch the schedule view between yearly, monthly, weekly and daily scales, down to 5-minute intervals.

AI Assist and templates

AI Assist drafts a Gantt chart from a project description, which is shared with OpenAI for processing. There are also more than 200 chart templates.

Import, export and sharing

Imports schedules from Excel, MS Project, Outlook and Google Calendar. Paid accounts can print and export, and Unlimited accounts can embed charts that update live.
