Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 54 of the 79 other project management tools we grade
Favro is a collaborative planning platform aimed at software companies and game studios. Work lives on cards that can sit on several team or planning boards at once, alongside sheets and databases, roadmaps, and docs and wiki pages. It is paid-only after a 14-day trial, with plans sold per user in fixed seat buckets that start at two users.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Favro, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No App Store rating on record, and collections, boards and automations are yours to arrange before the thing earns its keep.
- 1
Best for several teams sharing the same cards
Favro is a planning tool for software and game teams where one card can sit on several boards at once, so each team follows the same work from its own board, with sheets, roadmaps and wiki pages alongside.
- 2
Paid plans start at $5.10 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $5.10 per user / month, billed annually (from 2 users).
- 3
You can try it first
14-day free trial of any paid plan, no credit card needed
- 4
It runs on 5 platforms
Web, macOS, Windows, iOS and Android.
- 5
Team and planning boards
Several boards can be laid out on one screen, so a team sees its backlog, sprint and other workflows together. Ready-made setups cover Kanban, Scrumban and roadmaps.
- 6
Cards shared across boards
A task, goal or user story can live on several boards at the same time, so different teams and managers follow the same card from their own boards.
- 7
Sheets and databases
Sheets add columns, calculations and hierarchies, which lets large pieces of work be broken down into smaller items.
- 8
A 2.8 GPA, above 54 of 79
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 Favro you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for several teams sharing the same cards
Favro is a planning tool for software and game teams where one card can sit on several boards at once, so each team follows the same work from its own board, with sheets, roadmaps and wiki pages alongside. There's no free or single-user plan, seats come in fixed buckets so a team of 3 pays for 5, Lite has no guests or API, and SSO is Enterprise only.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Lite is $5.10 a user a month billed annually and Standard $6.80, both inside the cheapest quarter for this category, which starts at $5.10. Seats come in buckets of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 though, so a team of 3 pays for 5, and Lite has no guest accounts, no API calls and 25 automation actions. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, and no single-user plan either. What you get is a 14-day trial of any paid plan with no credit card needed, and then it's paid or nothing. |
| Features | B | Covers the whole job, plus one thing of its own: several boards laid out on one screen and a card that lives on more than one at a time, so each team follows the same work from its own board. Sheets with calculations, combined roadmaps, docs and wiki pages, automations, and two-way Jira sync. |
| Ease of use | C | No App Store rating on record, and collections, boards and automations are yours to arrange before the thing earns its keep. Ready-made setups for Kanban, Scrumban and roadmaps mean at least you don't start from an empty board. |
| Platforms and integrations | A | Web, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, with no Linux version listed. It connects to Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Miro, Google Drive, Google Calendar and Zapier, and Standard allows 1,000 API calls an hour. |
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 Favro is for
- Fits if you're a software team or game studio running Kanban or Scrumban
- Works for several teams that need to follow the same card from their own boards
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you work alone or want to stay free, as there's no single-user plan and no free one
- Pricey if your team sits between sizes, because seats come in buckets and a team of 3 pays for 5
- Tight if you pick Lite, with 5 collections, 25 automation actions, no guests and no API calls
- Watch out: timesheets, SSO and SCIM are Enterprise only, and more than 100 users is priced by quote
- Skip it if you work on Linux, as the desktop app is Mac and Windows only

Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
54/79
Other project management tools it is graded above
Favro's GPA of 2.8 is higher than 54 of the 79 other project management tools we grade, and level with 9.
It stands best on platforms and integrations (A, above 54 of 79) and worst on ease of use (C, above 2).
Its paid plans start at $5.10 a month for each person, against a middle price of $8 for the category: 17 of the 74 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 80 project management tools we grade, cut by the letter each got. Favro’s own letter is outlined.

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 Favro you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. 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 2.8 is higher than 54 of the 79 other project management tools we grade. It costs $61.20 a year.
What you could make
- Tasks, kanban boards and wiki: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Databases with views, filters and links between them.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Favro’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.
