What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 66 of the 111 other project management tools grade higher. It costs $96 a year. - You could make: Gantt & timelines, kanban boards, time tracking, reports and templates: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Microsoft Teams, Slack and Google Drive among them.
