- The chart view is extremely intuitive — dragging tasks, setting dependencies, adjusting timelines all feel very smooth.
- The ability to switch between list, board and calendar views gives me flexibility depending on whether I’m planning a research project, course work or group assignment.
- Collaboration features are solid: I can invite teammates, assign tasks, leave comments, attach files — this makes group work much less chaotic.
- The support and documentation are good, especially for someone like me who doesn’t work in “official project management” but still needs structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The pricing for non-discount users is somewhat steep if you’re a student with limited budget, especially since the annual plan is required for best value.
While the free trial is helpful, having more flexible shorter-term payment (for example semester-based) would be great for students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hello Zaidan! Thank you very much for sharing your experience and choosing GanttPRO for your academic project :) It's great to hear you preferred the tool over spreadsheets and lists, and that it didn't disappoint!
As for the pricing, you’re totally right that it can feel steep for a student. That’s why we offer a 50% educational discount, please find details here: https://ganttpro.com/software-discounts-for-nonprofits/.
And as for the subscription model, we do currently have monthly and annual plans only. The reason is that most projects run for several months and an annual subscription often provides the best value over that timeframe. But your point sounds absolutely fair and we’ll take it into account going forward!
Warm regards, Anastasia GanttPRO Community Manager
