When each one makes sense
Great Gantt
For anyone who needs a clear Gantt schedule with business days and holidays, predecessors that reschedule themselves, AI included and a 1-click status report — for R$29/month per account, not per user.
Excel / Spreadsheets
Unbeatable for numbers and quick lists. But a schedule in a spreadsheet breaks silently: dates don't recompute, weekends count towards deadlines and the right version lives in someone's inbox. If your schedule matters, it deserves a tool that computes it for you.
MS Project
The corporate standard for decades, powerful for complex portfolios with WBS and resource leveling. It comes with per-user pricing in dollars and a serious learning curve. If you need a clear schedule — not a project ERP — Great Gantt delivers in minutes.
Monday.com
Great as a generic work platform for large teams. Gantt, however, is one view among many, on per-user paid plans (3-seat minimum). Here the schedule is the whole product — for one flat monthly price.
Asana and Trello
Excellent for task management and kanban boards. The timeline is a paid feature (Asana Starter; Trello only on Premium) and date math doesn't think in business days or holidays. For lists, great; for a schedule with dependencies, it's an adaptation.
ClickUp
The swiss-army knife with a real Gantt on the paid plan — and a density of menus that takes dedication. AI is billed separately. Great Gantt does one thing, no manual needed: describe or pick a template, and the schedule shows up computed.
