GanttPRO is an online Gantt chart creation tool positioned as professional project management software. It is aimed at individuals and teams that need to create, plan, and manage projects, and can turn rough ideas, task lists, or work breakdown structures into project plans and timelines. Users can register for free and can begin planning and creating projects within minutes.
Main capabilities
Gantt chart planning and scheduling: Determine project duration and resource requirements through an interactive Gantt chart. Use work breakdown structures and dependencies to understand the order in which tasks are completed, and enable the critical path to highlight tasks that may affect the completion date.
Clear plan and timeline visualization: Visualize plans of any complexity and quickly view details such as tasks, timelines, statuses, dependencies, and more. As project scheduling software with Gantt charts, it helps clarify goals and results, keep progress on track, and execute plans efficiently.
Collaboration: Provide real-time visibility into team project progress, ensuring members have a shared understanding of the work being completed and what is needed to achieve goals. It supports comments on tasks and attached files, keeping important information stored centrally without switching between multiple business tools.
Sharing and presentation: Gantt charts can be used to communicate scope and progress to stakeholders such as senior management, investors, and clients. Charts can be downloaded or shared as dynamic or static Gantt charts via a private link.
Feature details
Workload management: Check team workload, determine whether members have too few or too many tasks, and reassign members accordingly.
Kanban view: In addition to the Gantt chart, you can switch to a Kanban view, where each task appears as a card in the corresponding column.
Notifications: Real-time notifications cover new assignments, being mentioned in a task, project changes, tasks about to start, and more.
Task relationships: With automatic scheduling, dates, timelines, or dependencies are automatically recalculated when they change; enabling the critical path helps you understand the tasks that directly affect the project and the shortest path to completing the plan.
Export: Share charts via a private public URL and grant viewing and access permissions; supports export to PDF, PNG, XLSX, XML, and other formats, and export is also available during the trial period.
Time logs: Record the actual time spent on tasks and milestones, and add comments; personal time logs can show total task time and time ranges.
Reports: Owners and administrators can create reports that include time recorded by team members, including details such as tasks, projects, users, dates, times, and comments, and can group, filter, and export to Excel.

Use cases and platforms
Gantt charts are suitable for a variety of industries. A customizable web-based Gantt chart helps with the scheduling, planning, and execution of traditional or hybrid-method projects, and also helps project managers monitor progress, identify potential issues, and manage resources and time more effectively. GanttPRO is cloud software that can be used on any operating system and device, including Windows, Mac OS, Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, etc.), and iOS and Android apps can also be downloaded to manage projects on a phone.
Limitations and pricing
GanttPRO is not free Gantt chart software, but it offers a 14-day full-feature trial, during which Gantt charts can be created online for free; after the trial ends, a subscription to a plan that suits your needs is required. The official statement says no credit card is needed to start the 14-day advanced feature trial.
Regarding the difference between making Gantt charts in a dedicated Gantt chart application and in Excel, the official explanation says: an online application can automate most of the process, allowing users to focus on the activity itself; Excel requires manually drawing Gantt charts, which is time-consuming and tedious, has fewer usable features, and usually affects efficiency and the final result.
