GanttPRO at a glance
GanttPRO is a comprehensive project management platform centered around Gantt charts. In addition to timeline planning, it includes board, list, dashboard, calendar, workload, and portfolio views, along with features such as critical path, baselines, budgeting, resource management, time tracking, and AI-assisted project creation (depending on the plan).
It is well suited to organizations that need advanced planning and resource management capabilities.
The biggest difference
SimpleGantt
Designed around one principle:
“Keep project planning simple.”
Most small businesses don't need dozens of views and enterprise planning features. They need a clear timeline everyone can understand — and a status that computes itself, instead of a field someone has to remember to update.

- •Critical path analysis
- •Baselines
- •Resource workload management
- •Budget planning
- •Time tracking
- •Multiple project views
- •Portfolio management
- •AI Gantt Chart Maker

Frequently Asked Questions
Is SimpleGantt an alternative to GanttPRO?
Yes. Both products help teams plan projects using Gantt charts. SimpleGantt focuses on simplicity and fast adoption, while GanttPRO provides a broader set of advanced project management capabilities.
Which tool is easier to learn?
SimpleGantt is intentionally designed around a smaller feature set to minimize setup and learning time. GanttPRO includes many additional planning and management features that may require more time to master.
Which tool is better for small teams?
If your priority is creating timelines quickly, collaborating with your team, and avoiding unnecessary complexity, SimpleGantt is a strong choice. If your projects require advanced resource planning, budgeting, or portfolio management, GanttPRO may be a better fit.
Does GanttPRO tell you automatically if a project is at risk?
No — confirmed directly: there's a project status field, but a person sets it manually. SimpleGantt computes On Track, At Risk or Delayed from the schedule itself, with nothing to update by hand.
Can I export my plan from SimpleGantt?
Not yet — no CSV, PDF or PNG export today. GanttPRO has export built in. It's on our roadmap.
