How we grade them

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DBasics is $9.99 a user a month billed yearly, already the dear end here, $13.99 if you pay monthly, with a 3-user minimum. Worse, the parts you came for, workload planning, retainers and invoices built from logged time, need Accelerate at $24.99, three times the $8 middle. | CStarter is $8 a user a month billed annually, which is above the $6 cheaper quarter. The proofing, time and portfolio features need Team at $20. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree for up to 5 users with all four views, time logging and 100 automations, but the caps arrive fast: 5 projects and 100 MB of file storage, which a few client decks will eat. Paid plans get 14 days with no card. | C2-week free trial with no card needed. No free plan. |
| Features | BIt covers the whole job and the money side with it: lists, boards, tables and Gantt charts on every plan, billable time, invoices built from it, budgets, retainers, workload and capacity planning, intake forms and automations. Productive and Scoro, its own named rivals, do the same. | CList, Gantt, Kanban and portfolio views, plus proofing and capacity planning on Team. Starter lacks workload planning, proofing and time tracking. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record, and there's a fair bit to arrange: projects, templates, billable rates and automations before the reports say anything useful. The plans themselves take reading too, with seat minimums and automation caps changing at every step. | CNo store rating on record. Workspaces, templates and intake forms are yours to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | AThe full set: web, Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android and a browser extension, with Slack, HubSpot, QuickBooks, Salesforce, NetSuite and Harvest wired in, plus Claude and ChatGPT. One catch: the desktop apps don't work offline. | BWeb only, with Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Drive, Zoom, Salesforce and Zapier links. |
| Best for | agencies that bill clients for tracked time | marketing and creative teams that share a project calendar |

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.
