Best for AI agents working next to a small team
Dart is a task app where AI agents can be assigned work next to people, with list, board, roadmap and calendar layouts. The free plan stops at 4 teammates, and Slack, Discord and GitHub links, custom statuses and forms start at Premium, with SSO and analytics only on Business.
Who Dart is for
- Fits if you are 4 people or fewer and want AI agents to take tasks
- Works for software teams that already live in GitHub and Slack
Who Dart is not for
- Skip it if you have more than 4 teammates and want to stay free
- Tight if you need Slack, Discord or GitHub links, as they start at Premium at $8 a teammate
- Pricey if you need SSO, SCIM, public views or analytics, all on Business at $12 a teammate
- Watch out: the pricing page shows yearly prices by default and the monthly figures are not on the page text
Why Dart gets a 3.0

Keep Dart, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Dart you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 132 of the 149 other project management tools we grade. It costs $96 a year.
What you could make
- Kanban boards, time tracking and natural-language input: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, ChatGPT, Claude and Slack among them.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Dart’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.
