In their own words
RationalPlan
RationalPlan is project management software for scheduling work, allocating resources, tracking progress, estimating project costs, and managing budgets. Its tools include Gantt charts with dependencies and critical-path detection, portfolio management, resource leveling, cost tracking, reports, document management, calendars, and a Kanban board. RationalPlan says it can open and edit Microsoft Project files, and its Single Project product imports MS Project files. RationalPlan Cloud supports concurrent browser work with different access rights; the company says Cloud uses AWS for data hosting and processing. Project Server can be installed on a private network, and the company says its administrators cannot access hosted customer data. The free Cloud plan includes two projects, 100 tasks, 10 MB of storage, and two users. Free accounts inactive for 30 days are disabled, and accounts inactive for 60 days are deleted. Single and Multi trials offer full functionality with a 20-task limit and no stated time limit; the Server trial runs for 30 days without functional limits. Single Project costs $145, paid once, and Multi Project costs $288, paid once. A license includes one year of upgrades and priority technical support.
