## Key features

- **Boards, lists and timelines:** Project tasks can be worked on a kanban board, in a classic list or on a visual timeline that shows timings and dependencies.
- **Capacity planning:** The planner shows free hours per person from working hours, absences, regional public holidays and synced calendars. The workload view starts at Standard.
- **Time tracking and reports:** Time is tracked inside the project workflow and compared with budgets, including retainer budgets. Global time reports are part of Professional.
- **awork Connect:** Projects can be shared with clients, partners and freelancers at no charge. Each outside person gets a free workspace and a role that limits what they can see and do.
- **Automations and templates:** Recurring workflows are set up without code: 1 automation per project on Standard and unlimited on Professional. Templates rise from 1 on Basic to 6 on Standard.
- **awork AI:** A separate add-on with an AI chat, custom agents and a choice of language models that works from project context and respects access rights.

## Good for

- Agencies that plan client projects around team capacity
- Teams that track time against project and retainer budgets
- Companies that want a GDPR-compliant tool hosted in Germany

## Worth knowing

- There is no free plan: after the 14-day trial every internal team member needs a paid license.
- The workload view, absences and automations start at Standard, and private projects need Professional.
- Single sign-on and SCIM are limited to the Enterprise plans.
- awork AI is a separate subscription from $18 per user / month, and every active user in the workspace needs at least the Starter tier.
