Best for developers who need a Gantt chart inside their own app
Bryntum Gantt is a JavaScript component for React, Angular or Vue, with a free MIT Community edition. It is a library, not a tool for managers, and the useful parts such as critical paths and baselines sit on $1,100 a developer a year.
Who Bryntum Gantt is for
- Fits if you are building software that needs a Gantt chart
- Works for a developer who can start on the free Community edition
Who Bryntum Gantt is not for
- Not for you if you want a ready-made tool: it is a library, so you build the screens
- Pricey if you need baselines, critical paths or MS Project import: Enterprise is $1,100 a developer a year
- Watch out: a SaaS or commercial product that includes it needs an OEM licence quoted by sales
- Tight if you plan several apps or developers: the $699 and $1,100 figures cover one developer and one app
Why Bryntum Gantt gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for moneyBusiness is $699 a developer a year and Enterprise $1,100, far above the $30 a month for the dearest tenth of project tools. It is one app and one developer, with extras on top.
- BFree plan and trialThe Community edition is free under the MIT license, commercial use included, with fewer features. Trial terms aren't stated.
- CFeaturesResource assignments, critical paths, baselines, MS Project import. It does the Gantt job fully, but the job is a component, with no tasks, chat or reporting beyond it.
- DEase of useNo store rating, and you need code and a build to use it.
- CPlatforms and integrationsRuns in the browser through React, Angular, Vue and TypeScript. No API or integrations list for managers.

Keep Bryntum Gantt, or make your own?
Your call
A project tool at its plainest is tasks on a board with an owner and a date.
You could make the core of Bryntum Gantt for yourself: Gantt & timelines. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $699 a year. Bryntum Gantt is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could make
- Gantt & timelines: an app builder makes this well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Bryntum Gantt’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.
