GanttPM vs TeamGantt
TeamGantt: Synced multi-view project planning with flat, per-project pricing
TeamGantt popularized the synced multi-view pattern GanttPM also uses, and it's a genuinely strong tool for teams that want Gantt, board, and calendar views of one project. The gap is underneath the views: TeamGantt does not run a critical path calculation, so you get scheduling visuals without the math that tells you which delays actually threaten your deadline. GanttPM adds that engine, plus native Microsoft Project import and a resource workload heatmap.
