Project Management software

Common questions about project management software

Which project management tools have a free plan?

Notion, Linear, Asana, monday.com, ClickUp, Coda and Trello have a free plan, with limits on usage, users or features. Pricing for GitHub and Todoist has not been checked against the vendor in the last 90 days, so they are not included.

How much does project management software cost?

The entry paid plans as each vendor lists them, checked against its pricing page: Trello Standard at $6 per user a month, ClickUp Unlimited at $10 per user a month, Linear Basic at $10 per user a month, monday.com Basic at $12 per user a month, Notion Plus at $12 per user a month, Asana Starter at $13.49 per user a month and Coda Pro at $15 per user a month. Some vendors quote the annual-billing rate, and seat minimums, higher tiers and add-ons all change the real cost, so price the plan you actually need. Pricing for GitHub and Todoist has not been checked against the vendor in the last 90 days, so they are not included.

What is the difference between project management and task management software?

Task managers organise to-dos for a person or a small group. Project management tools add structure across a team: assignments, deadlines, dependencies, timelines and reporting on progress. Many products do some of both, so decide which half matters more to you before comparing them.

Which project management tool is best for software teams?

Linear is built for it: issues, cycles and projects with deep GitHub and GitLab integration. General-purpose tools such as ClickUp and Asana can run sprints, but teams that want opinionated, sprint-centric issue tracking usually find Linear the better fit.

Is Trello enough for a small team?

For simple, visual work, often yes: its free plan is genuinely usable for individuals and small teams. It has no native task dependencies, workload views or advanced reporting, so teams running several interdependent projects usually outgrow it.
