ProjectLibre
Microsoft Project-compatible scheduling: free desktop app, paid cloud
What is ProjectLibre?
ProjectLibre is project scheduling software that comes in two forms. ProjectLibre Desktop is a free, open-source app for Windows, macOS and Linux, meant for one person managing individual project files. ProjectLibre Cloud is a browser-based subscription for teams that adds real-time collaboration, shared resource pools, portfolio management, risk analysis and an AI Co-Pilot. Both open Microsoft Project files.
ProjectLibre has a free plan. Paid plans start at $9.99 per user / month, billed annually. See every plan
Good for
- Teams moving schedules off Microsoft Project or Project Online
- Individual project managers who want a free desktop scheduler
- Plans that need earned value, resource leveling and risk analysis
Worth knowing
- The free Desktop app is for one user and individual projects; collaboration, portfolios, resource leveling, risk analysis and AI are in the paid Cloud.
- ProjectLibre Core is priced only with annual billing; the pricing section shows no month-to-month rate.
- A second, higher cloud tier is marked Coming Soon, and Core lists enterprise resource and portfolio management with an asterisk the page does not explain.
- The Cloud trial lasts 7 days and covers up to 15 users.
Key features
- CPM scheduling and Gantt charts
- Schedules use dependencies, constraints, calendars, baselines and critical path with float, shown as a Gantt chart, a WBS chart or a network diagram.
- Microsoft Project and Primavera import
- Opens Microsoft Project .mpp files and Primavera .xer files directly, keeping tasks, dependencies, resources and the project structure.
- Resource leveling and shared pools
- ProjectLibre Cloud finds over-allocated resources and levels them at the project or portfolio level, drawing on enterprise resource pools shared across projects.
- Risk analysis and schedule audits
- Cloud runs Monte Carlo risk analysis and DCMA schedule-quality audits on the schedule, alongside earned value reporting with SPI, CPI and TCPI.
- AI Co-Pilot
- In Cloud, the Co-Pilot builds a CPM schedule from a prompt and can then edit tasks, the WBS and resources as the project changes.
- Free desktop app
- ProjectLibre Desktop is installed on Windows, macOS or Linux, keeps project files on the user's computer and is offered in 54 languages.
