Rapla vs Teambook

Rapla is an open-source system for scheduling resources and planning events, including rooms, people, and equipment. Its calendars offer month, week, day, and specialized views, with repeating appointments and conflict checks before saving. Administrators can define resource, person, and event types, assign categories and attributes, and set fine-grained permissions. Rapla exports to PDF and iCal and can email users when a resource is allocated. Data can be stored in a file or in MySQL, PostgreSQL, or HSQLDB. Rapla 2 is labeled stable and can run as a standalone application or in client-server mode; its desktop client supports Linux, Windows, and macOS using Java and OpenWebStart. The interface is available in English and German, with translations of varying completeness in French, Dutch, Polish, Spanish, Finnish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Czech. Rapla 3 describes Exchange sync, a GraphQL API, OAuth 2.0 with PKCE, and sign-in with Microsoft, Google, or Keycloak. Its nightly builds are self-signed, untested, and not for production. The software is free under AGPL-3.0-or-later or Apache-2.0.

Teambook is resource management software for planning people across projects, balancing workloads, and tracking time. Its planning board displays assignments, availability, and holidays, with allocations made by clicking or dragging and dropping. Bookings can contain predefined tasks or comments, be marked tentative, and include project milestones. Workload indicators help identify overallocation, while capacity views can draw on operational planning data. Team members can log hours by copying a planned schedule; timesheet logging and approval are a separate add-on. Teambook offers web, iOS, Android, and API access, and users can connect their own applications through the API. Listed integrations include Google Calendar, Outlook, Zapier, Slack, HubSpot, Trello, Jira, QuickBooks Desktop, and Redmine. The company says it hosts information in Europe and is GDPR compliant. The Planning plan costs €2 a month, billed per project/month, with a discount for annual subscriptions. A 30-day trial includes all features and requires no credit card; there is no free plan.
