How this list is ordered. Specifiction scores each tool on how fully its maker documents it, whether its prices are published, where the research puts it, the platforms it runs on and whether it can be tried for free (how we rank). Makers can also buy a numbered place (how Specifiction is paid for).

Compare the stated free plan, paid-from price, Gantt chart view, task dependencies, baseline tracking, resource management and project templates. Check the supported platform, trial terms and whether open-source code is available.
