Planitude vs TeamGantt: intuitive Gantt, free for the whole team
TeamGantt is valued for its ease of use and sells bundles by project and manager. Planitude offers the same simplicity with the MS Project engine, and no bundles to buy.
In this article
TeamGantt has built its reputation on an online Gantt chart that is easy to use: you drag bars, link tasks and invite your team. Planitude shares the same goal of simplicity, but it is built on a scheduling engine inspired by Microsoft Project, with calendars, constraints and a critical path, and it does not sell bundles.
The comparison below is based on data from TeamGantt’s official pages.
Who TeamGantt and Planitude are for
TeamGantt is designed for teams looking for a simple, visual Gantt chart; the Basic plan includes 5 projects, 1 manager and up to 10 collaborators[1].
Planitude is designed for those who want simplicity without giving up a complete scheduling engine:
- project managers who run several projects in parallel;
- teams that receive
.mppfiles and need to return the plan in a format MS Project can read; - organizations that do not want to size their budget around the number of projects or managers.

Scheduling
Both manage dependencies; TeamGantt includes the critical path and baselines on its paid plans[1]. In Planitude, the complete engine is available to everyone:
- FS, SS, FF and SF dependencies with lead and lag;
- date constraints, deadlines and calendars with holidays and exceptions, including per resource;
- an automatic critical path;
- baselines with the variance of each task;
- multi-level subtasks created with Tab, as in MS Project;
- up to 20,000 tasks per project, and Summary, List, Board, Calendar and Workload views.
Example: an engineering firm with several construction sites
An engineering firm oversees six construction sites at the same time, with the same people assigned to several projects. In Planitude, each site has its own plan with dependencies and calendars (including closing days), and the Workload view shows day by day who is overallocated. When a contractor falls behind, that site’s plan recalculates automatically and the client sees it up to date through the public link, without an account. There is no need to choose which projects to include in a paid plan: all of them are included.
Import, export and migration
According to TeamGantt’s support documentation, its Microsoft Project import brings in task names, dependencies, dates and percent complete, but not resources[2]. Planitude imports tasks, dependencies, calendars and baselines from .mpp, Microsoft Project XML and Primavera .xer files, with a report of the items that could not be mapped; assigned resources are listed in each task’s notes so they can be reassigned to project members. The plan can then be exported to Microsoft Project XML, as well as to CSV and print/PDF, to return it to people who work in MS Project.
Collaboration
TeamGantt offers public sharing links and, on the Basic plan, up to 10 collaborators[1]. Planitude offers link invitations with roles for an unlimited number of people, comments with mentions, unique task keys, a change history and a read-only public link.
Pricing
TeamGantt Basic costs USD 59 per month or USD 590 per year, with 5 projects and 1 manager[1]. It is a bundle price, not a per-user price. Planitude is free, supported by advertising, with no limit on users or managers.
Languages, data and AI assistant
Planitude is available in 10 languages and hosts data on servers in the European Union, in Germany. It includes an AI assistant that reads the plan, provides estimates and proposes changes for you to confirm and generates a first version of a plan from a description; through API keys and the MCP server, it integrates with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor and VS Code.
