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. - **Value for money: D.** Business 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. - **Free plan and trial: B.** The Community edition is free under the MIT license, commercial use included, with fewer features. Trial terms aren't stated. - **Features: C.** Resource 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. - **Ease of use: D.** No store rating, and you need code and a build to use it. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Runs in the browser through React, Angular, Vue and TypeScript. No API or integrations list for managers. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Bryntum AB's own pages on 12 November 2026.

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. - You could make: Gantt & timelines: an app builder makes this well. - You could make: It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
