Best for scheduling people across projects

Runn plans who is working on what and when, with capacity and utilization charts, at $7 or $11 a resource seat. Plans start at 20 seats, the page does not say whether those prices are monthly or annual, and resource requests, workstreams and SSO are on a custom-priced plan.

Who Runn is for

  • Fits if you run a team of 20 or more and need to see who is free next month
  • Works for agencies and consultancies that sell people's time

Who Runn is not for

  • Pricey if you are small: plans start at 20 resource seats
  • Watch out: the page does not say whether the $7 and $11 are monthly or annual
  • Watch out: timesheets, the API and integrations are Standard only, and resource requests are Advanced
  • Skip it if you want a free plan, as there is only a trial
  • Not for you if you want a refund on a part-used term, as the FAQ says none is given

Why Runn gets a 2.0

Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.

  • DValue for money$7 a seat on Lite and $11 on Standard looks ordinary, but plans start at 20 resource seats, so the floor is $140 a month. The billing period is not shown beside the price.
  • CFree plan and trial30-day free trial of Standard with no card needed. No free plan.
  • CFeaturesScheduling, tentative projects, capacity charts, skills and financials. Timesheets, the API and integrations need Standard, and resource requests need the custom Advanced plan.
  • CEase of useNo store rating on record. You set up people, skills and projects before the charts mean anything.
  • BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with BambooHR, ADP, Asana, Google Sheets and Zapier links and an API on Standard.

Keep Runn, or make your own?

Keep it

The plain part of Runn you could make: reports and time tracking. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.

That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 90 of the 111 other project management tools grade higher. It costs $84 a year.

What you could make

  • Reports and time tracking: an app builder makes these well.

What you could not

  • Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
  • It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
  • It plugs into other products, ADP Workforce Now, BambooHR and AlexisHR among them, and has an API.
  • AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.

What this rests on. Runn’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.

What is Runn?

Runn is resource management and capacity planning software. Teams schedule people onto projects, see availability and utilization, forecast demand with tentative projects, and compare planned hours and costs against actuals. It prices by resource seat, meaning each person or contractor you schedule, not by login.

Worth knowing

  • Plans start at 20 resource seats.
  • The pricing page shows a monthly and annual toggle but does not say which one the displayed $7 and $11 are; the FAQ only says annual billing costs less.
  • Resource requests, workstreams, SSO and unlimited custom fields need the custom-priced Advanced plan.
  • Cancelling stops further billing, but the FAQ says partly used monthly or annual subscriptions are not refunded.
