GanttPM vs Ganttic
Ganttic: Resource management and workload balancing, Gantt as a secondary lens
Ganttic leads with resource management — capacity planning, workload heatmaps, and portfolio-level scheduling across many projects. It's a strong choice if resource allocation across a whole team or portfolio is your main problem. But its Gantt scheduling is secondary, and task-level collaboration (comments, attachments, discussion) is weaker than a dedicated project tool. GanttPM treats resource planning as one of five equally-supported views, alongside a full critical-path Gantt chart and task-level collaboration.

Who is each best for?
Teams that need a real scheduling engine and task-level collaboration (comments, attachments, discussion) alongside resource visibility — not just capacity planning on its own.
