Workast puts task management inside Slack and Webex, with AI triage and a 14-day trial. Plan prices were not shown in the page text we read, the Essential plan keeps tasks to Slack only, and the FAQ says no refunds. - **Value for money: C.** Plans are Essential, Standard, Pro and Enterprise, but prices were not visible in the pricing page text, so there is nothing to compare. - **Free plan and trial: D.** 14-day trial of the Pro plan, with card terms not stated. No free plan is listed. - **Features: C.** Tasks in Slack and Webex, AI subtasks, forms, time tracking and dependencies. Essential keeps task features in Slack only, with 100 MB of storage. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. It needs a Slack or Webex workspace and some setup of channels and forms. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Works in Slack and Webex with Google Calendar, Gmail, Drive, Zapier and Bitbucket, and an API. No desktop or phone apps of its own. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Workast's own pages on 13 November 2026.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/project-management ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Workast 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. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 112 of the 149 other project management tools grade higher. - You could make: Tasks, kanban boards, forms and time tracking: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
