Compare scheduling features, prices, and limits. Each page names the plan compared and marks reseller price estimates. It also explains where the other tool offers more.
The tool most schedules grew up in — now split across Planner tiers, with real CPM starting at Plan 3 and Project Online retired in September 2026.
The construction CPM standard — its desktop edition, P6 Professional, is a Windows license sold through Oracle and its resellers, at more than 20 times Ganttry's annual plan in year one.
Eleco's construction scheduler, sold today as Asta Powerproject — a genuine CPM desktop with a construction pedigree, at desktop-era prices, billed annually on Eleco's own store.
The easy-Gantt favorite now courting builders — a critical path view, plus lookaheads and Procore sync in its Builder Edition, priced by the project rather than the seat.
The flexible work-management grid — sheets, forms, reports, automations — with dependencies and baselines on top, but without a CPM engine's task calendars or constraints.
The all-in-one construction platform — RFIs, submittals, financials — now with a scheduling tool of its own, sold product by product on a quote.
Software for running a building business — sales, estimates, invoicing, a client portal — with a Gantt schedule, a critical path and a baseline inside.
Read all seven comparisons and the same pattern repeats — whatever the logo on the other column.
Dependency types with lag, task calendars, constraints, float and baselines. P6, Powerproject and Microsoft Project's desktop app have them all, and Procore's new Scheduling tool has lag, constraints, float and baselines; the lighter tools have some — each page's table says which. Ganttry ships the whole engine at $20.
Procore and Buildertrend sell by quote — your price depends on a sales call, on your annual construction volume for Procore, and on your builder type and revenue for Buildertrend. Ganttry is $20 per user, per month — $200 a year on annual. It's on the pricing page, not behind a demo.
Ganttry opens MS Project XML and Primavera P6 XER directly — dependencies, calendars and all — and exports XML back when an owner insists. Your current schedule is the starting point, not a casualty.
Contractor Foreman is a business-management suite — CRM, estimates, invoicing — with scheduling built in: Gantt charts, a critical path, baselines, and MS Project import and export. If you're choosing software to run the whole business, compare it with the other suites — Buildertrend has a page of its own above. If the schedule itself is the deliverable, compare the scheduling on a demo: Ganttry is built for that one job, and it opens the MS Project XML and P6 XER files owners send.
Touchplan is pull-planning software built for the Last Planner System: trades plan the work together, turn long-range pull plans into short-term lookaheads and track their commitments, synced with a CPM schedule kept in P6 or MS Project. It's priced by custom quote per project package, with unlimited users, and has a 14-day trial. If lean pull planning is how your jobs run, it's built for that meeting. Ganttry is the CPM schedule side — logic and float, named baselines, data-date statusing — at a price on our pricing page.
Outbuild connects a CPM master schedule to a lookahead and a weekly work plan in one system, with roadblock tracking and a two-way Procore integration. It starts at $999 a month, billed annually, scaled to your annual construction volume, with unlimited users and projects, and offers a free trial. If you want the master schedule, lookahead and weekly plan in one tool for one fee that covers everyone, it's worth a look. Ganttry is priced per user — $20 a month, or $200 a year on annual — so a small team pays only for its own licenses, with the Master plan across projects and crew planning included in that price.
ProjectLibre Desktop and GanttProject are free desktop apps, and genuinely fine for one scheduler on one computer — ProjectLibre even opens MS Project and P6 files. Working together is where they stop being free: both sell a cloud service for that, ProjectLibre Cloud and GanttProject Cloud. If the whole team needs the schedule — one live project, crews updating from their phones, revision history — compare those services with Ganttry, whose price is on the pricing page.
Fair question. Every number is either a vendor-published price or a clearly labelled reseller figure, its source is named on each page, every page is date-stamped, and each one has a "where they win" section we didn't have to write. If we got something wrong or a price moved, use the contact page and we'll fix it.
