The trade-offs
Strengths and Limitations
OpenProject
Strengths
- Free Community edition under the GNU GPL v3 with no user limit
- Runs on-premises or in an EU-hosted cloud, so project data can stay in-house
- Hours, hourly rates, unit costs and budgets sit in the same tool as the plan
- Official MCP server lets AI assistants work on project data within existing roles and permissions
Limitations
- Enterprise plans start at 25 users, Premium at 100 and Corporate at 250
- Self-hosting means running, securing and upgrading the installation yourself
- Monthly billing costs €1.00 more per user and is limited to Cloud Basic
TeamGantt
Strengths
- Priced per manager with collaborators included, so a large team of contributors does not multiply the bill
- A free Personal plan that does not expire, for one user and one project
- Procore sync and a construction-focused Builder edition, which few general planners carry
Limitations
- Plans are bounded by project count and by tasks per project, so a busy portfolio hits the ceiling even with few managers
- Extra projects are billed on top at $12 a month each on the Basic plan
- The Basic plan caps tasks at 150 per project
