Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 3 of the 79 other project management tools we grade
Bordio is a work management platform built around a calendar planner: tasks and events are scheduled on specific days, and anything without a date sits on a waiting list. Projects can also be viewed as a kanban board or a table, with notes, time estimates, a workload view and time tracking. Individuals can use it free for personal, non-commercial work, and organizations pay per user.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Bordio, taken from its own pages and our grades.
- 1
Best for planning team work day by day on a calendar
Bordio plans work on a calendar: every task and meeting gets a day, and anything undated waits on a list beside it.
- 2
Paid plans start at $7.99 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $7.99 per user / month, billed annually ($9.99 billed monthly).
- 3
There is a free plan
For individuals: free forever for personal, non-commercial use, with 10 personal projects and 500MB of storage. No project members, guests, teams or time tracking.
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android.
- 5
Calendar planner
Tasks and events are scheduled on specific days in a week view, giving each person a short plan for the day. Completed tasks move to the day they were finished.
- 6
Waiting list
A backlog for tasks and ideas that have no date yet, kept beside the calendar until someone schedules them.
- 7
Kanban board and custom statuses
A project can be viewed as a kanban board or a table, and organizations can define their own task statuses in any order.
- 8
A 2.2 GPA, above 3 of 79
That is against the other project management tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

The report card
Best for planning team work day by day on a calendar
Bordio plans work on a calendar: every task and meeting gets a day, and anything undated waits on a list beside it. The free plan is for personal, non-commercial use with no project members or time tracking, teams pay $7.99 a user a month billed annually after a $5.99 first term, its own pages disagree on the trial length, and the only integrations are Google Calendar and Google Meet.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | One paid plan at $7.99 a user a month billed annually, or $9.99 monthly, which sits right on the $8 middle for project tools here. Everything's in it, with no higher tier to chase, and new customers pay $5.99 for a first term before the regular rate. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Free with no time limit for individuals, but read the small print: personal, non-commercial use only, 10 projects, 500 MB, and no project members, guests, teams, comments or time tracking. A solo planner, not a free team plan. |
| Features | C | The day-to-day basics: a week planner where tasks and events take a day, a waiting list for undated ones, kanban and table views, workload that counts meetings as well as tasks, and a task timer. The gaps show in the listing: no Gantt chart, no automations, no custom fields. |
| Ease of use | C | No App Store rating on record. The idea takes five seconds to grasp, give a task a day or leave it waiting, but it's still a web app where you set up the projects and teams, and its own pages can't agree whether the trial is 14 days or 7. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android with a public API on the organization plan, and no desktop app, which is what holds it to a B. The integrations list is two items long: Google Calendar and Google Meet. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Bordio is for
- Fits if your team plans its work day by day on a shared calendar
- Works for managers who want workload figures that count meetings as well as tasks
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want a free plan for a team, as the free one is personal and non-commercial
- Skip it if your work runs through other tools, since the only integrations are Google Calendar and Google Meet
- Watch out: the $5.99 first-term rate rises to $7.99 billed annually or $9.99 monthly, and prices change by country
- Watch out: the plan card says the trial is 14 days and the FAQ says 7, and it can be used once
- Too light for projects that need Gantt charts, automations or custom fields, none of which are listed
Good to know
Good for
- Teams that plan work day by day on a shared calendar
- Managers who want workload figures that include meetings
- Individuals who want a free planner for personal tasks
Worth knowing
- The free plan is for personal, non-commercial use and has no project members, guests, teams, comments, time tracking or custom statuses.
- The introductory $5.99 per user rate rises to $7.99 on annual billing or $9.99 on monthly billing once the first term ends.
- The pricing page sets prices by the visitor's country, so buyers outside the US may see other amounts and currencies.
- The vendor's own pages disagree on the organization trial: 14 days on the plan card, 7 days in the FAQ.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of Bordio you could make: tasks, kanban boards, calendar, time blocking, time tracking and notes. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 60 of the 79 other project management tools grade higher. It costs $95.88 a year.
What you could make
- Tasks, kanban boards, calendar, time blocking, time tracking and notes: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Google Calendar and Google Meet among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Bordio’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
