GanttPM vs GanttPRO
GanttPRO: Full-featured project scheduling with no free tier
GanttPRO is a capable, full-featured scheduler with critical path, WBS, and resource optimization — the closest feature match to GanttPM in this list. The difference is access: GanttPRO has no free-forever tier, only a 14-day trial, and Enterprise plans require 5+ users. GanttPM gives you the full local feature set — including critical path, baselines, and MS Project import — for free, indefinitely, with cloud sync as the only paid upgrade.
