We hear from software buyers time and again that price and functionality are two of their top considerations when investing in a new project management solution. Budget is a constraint for most businesses, but affordability alone doesn't make a product valuable—it must also offer the required functionality.
Project management software is a tool that assists companies in overseeing and coordinating multiple projects, such as marketing initiatives, events, product and software launches, and construction projects. This software offers functionalities that aid in creating project workflows, facilitating team collaboration through integrated messaging and file sharing, monitoring project and task progress, and assigning tasks to individual contributors and teams.
Pricing of project management solutions can range from $4 per month to over $1499 per month, but a higher price may not always mean higher value. Read the project management software buyers guide to further understand the benefits of the software, considerations when buying software, and more.
In this report, we've ranked the most valuable project management software products based on user reviews: those with the highest ratings for both value for money and functionality. We’ve also included the starting price and functionality details for each product.
The graphic below shows project management products that offer the best value for money and functionality according to user ratings. Products are arranged in increasing order of their value-for-money ratings (bottom to top) and functionality ratings (left to right).
Note: While products in the top-right zone of the graph rank higher in terms of both functionality and value-for-money ratings, all products in this graph are top-rated.
The cost of project management software products may vary based on the number of users, features, or other factors, and comparing pricing for multiple products can be time-consuming.
We’ve created a table to highlight how different project management tools stack up against each other in terms of starting prices, free trials, and free versions—allowing you to compare these products side by side.
From the products mapped on the scatter plot above, only those with publicly available pricing information on vendor websites are listed in the price comparison table below. They are arranged in decreasing order of their combined ratings—value for money plus functionality.
