Ingantt vs RationalPlan

Ingantt is a Gantt chart project planning app for building schedules, assigning resources, and tracking progress. Its AI can turn a plain-language project description into tasks, dependencies, durations, and a work breakdown structure. Scheduling features include Critical Path Method, four dependency types, eight constraint types, custom calendars, and recurring or split tasks. Users can assign work, material, cost, budget, and generic resources, then detect overallocations and level resources automatically. Ingantt lists 10 project views, including Gantt, Timeline, Task Board, Team Planner, Calendar, Network Diagram, and resource views; it also supports baselines and progress tracking. It imports Microsoft Project MPP, MPT, MPX, and XML files, plus Primavera P6 XER and PMXML files. Exports include PDF, PNG, CSV, XML, YAML, and Markdown. The app runs on the web, Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS. Project files are stored locally or in Google Drive, and the web app runs in a browser without installation. Professional costs $7.99 a month, billed per user/month; a 7-day trial is available at free.

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.

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.
