Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
3.0
GPA, above 132 of the 149 other project management tools we grade
Dart is a project and task management app where AI agents can be assigned work next to teammates. It offers list, board, roadmap and calendar layouts, sprints, time tracking and docs. A free plan covers up to four teammates, and apps exist for web, desktop and mobile.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Dart, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It has boards, statuses and agents to set up before the work starts.
- 1
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at $8 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $8 per teammate / month, billed yearly.
- 3
There is a free plan
Personal plan: up to 4 teammates, unlimited tasks, docs, storage and AI model usage, with AI agents included.
- 4
It runs on 6 platforms
Web, macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.
- 5
AI agents on tasks
Agents can be assigned tasks, execute them and report, alongside human teammates.
- 6
Multiple layouts
List, board, roadmap and calendar layouts with filters, sorting and saved views.
- 7
Task structure
Subtasks, blockers and dependencies, with task types such as epics, stories, bugs and milestones.

A 3.0 GPA, above 132 of 149
That is against the other project management tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Premium is $8 a teammate a month on yearly billing, in the middle of the $6 to $15.95 that project tools charge, and the free plan covers up to 4 teammates. |
| Free plan and trial | B | The Personal plan is free for up to 4 teammates with unlimited tasks, docs, storage and AI model use, so a small team can live on it. Past 4 people you pay. |
| Features | B | List, board, roadmap and calendar layouts, subtasks, blockers and dependencies, sprints and time tracking. The listing shows no gap in the core work, though many extras sit on Premium or Business. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It has boards, statuses and agents to set up before the work starts. |
| Platforms and integrations | A | Web, Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone and Android, plus ChatGPT, Claude, Slack, GitHub, Zapier and an MCP server. |
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 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 it 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

Part 04 · Standing
Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
132/149
Other project management tools it is graded above
Dart's GPA of 3.0 is higher than 132 of the 149 other project management tools we grade, and level with 10.
It stands best on platforms and integrations (A, above 122 of 149) and worst on ease of use (C, above 7).
Its paid plans start at $8 a month for each person, against a middle price of $9 for the category: 46 of the 121 others that charge start lower.
On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 3.0 out of 4. Nothing scores higher for less, though at least one tool matches that score at a lower price.
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 150 project management tools we grade, cut by the letter each got. Dart’s own letter is outlined.
- BValue for moneyAbove 114 of 149
- BFree plan and trialAbove 101 of 149
- BFeaturesAbove 76 of 149
- CEase of useAbove 7 of 149
- APlatforms and integrationsAbove 122 of 149
Price against what you get
Each dot is one of 128 project management tools. Further left costs less; higher up scores better on features, ease of use and platforms. Dart is the marked dot.

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
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.
