Gantt chart
A real Gantt chart. Actually free.
Dependencies. Drag a bar to reschedule it. Zoom from a week to a quarter. Goals laid over the same timeline, an unscheduled tray for work without dates, and a read-only roadmap you can share with a client who never needs an account. Free for one person — no use meter, no task cap, no credit card.
Free for one · $5 a person for teams · flat, no upsells
What the timeline does
What you can check in the first minute.
Drag a bar to move it. Drag its edge to resize it.
Both work with a mouse and with a finger, both snap to whole days, and Escape cancels a drag mid-flight. Dates save optimistically, so the bar lands where you dropped it rather than a network round-trip later.
Dependency arrows that never silently reshuffle your plan.
Arrows are drawn from the links you set, and that's all they do. Nothing cascades, nothing rewrites the dates you chose while you weren't looking. The tool proposes; you decide. This is a deliberate refusal, not a missing feature.
Nudge with the keyboard.
Select a bar, then arrow-left and arrow-right move it a day at a time. Precise scheduling shouldn't require a steady hand.
Big plans stay fast.
Rows virtualize once a plan gets tall, so hundreds of bars scroll like a handful. Under 100ms of perceived interaction latency is a merge gate here, and a 302-task timeline is measured against it on every build.
Week, month and quarter, on one control.
Zoom out to a quarter to see the shape of the year, back in to a week to argue about a Tuesday. The scale changes; your plan doesn't.
Goals sit on the timeline with the work.
Roadmap goals become lanes: every bar groups under the goal it serves, and anything not yet attached to one gets its own lane so it can't hide.
An unscheduled tray for work without dates.
Undated tasks collect in a tray under the timeline instead of vanishing from it. Give one a date and it takes its place on the chart.
A read-only roadmap link for clients.
Mint a public link from project settings and anyone can watch the plan without an account — goals, dates and progress only, never task titles or people's names. Revoke it in a click. Viewers and clients never cost a cent either way.
The competition
The free-Gantt field, honestly
Every tool below is good at something, and each row says what that is before it says where the free timeline stops. A comparison that shades the truth is worth less than no comparison at all.
| Tool | What they get right | Where the free Gantt stops |
|---|---|---|
| ClickUp | ClickUp gives you more surface area per dollar than anything else here, and its view system is genuinely powerful. | The Gantt view is metered on Free Forever — roughly 100 uses of it, and then the free timeline is over. Unmetered automation sits on Enterprise, which has no published price.clickup.com/pricing |
| TeamGantt | TeamGantt is a Gantt tool first, and it shows — the drag-and-drop planning is some of the cleanest in the category. | The free plan is one project with a ceiling of 40 tasks. A second project, or a 41st task, means a paid manager seat.teamgantt.com/pricingsupport.teamgantt.com · checked August 1, 2026 |
| Asana | Asana has the cleanest task model in the category and is genuinely excellent at cross-functional structure. | Timeline is a paid-plan feature; the free plan has never carried it. And the free plan itself is thin now: Personal — hard 2-user cap for accounts created on or after 12 Nov 2025.asana.com/pricing |
| Monday.com | Monday's dashboards and board customization are good, and it sells the feeling of momentum better than anyone. | No Gantt on the free plan, and that plan is 2 seats, 3 boards. Paid starts at a 3-seat minimum, with seats sold at the fixed rungs of their own selector rather than per head.monday.com/pricing |
| Smartsheet | Smartsheet is the best grid-first work tool there is, and at enterprise scale its depth is hard to replicate. | A limited free plan for a single user. Beyond that it's $9 a seat on Pro and $19 on Business, with a 3-seat minimum — and controlled external sharing is a separate $125-a-month add-on.smartsheet.com/pricing |
| GanttPRO | GanttPRO is a dedicated Gantt tool and it does the job well. If a timeline is genuinely all you need, it's a fair pick. | No free-forever tier at all — a 14-day trial, then per user per month.ganttpro.com/pricing · checked August 1, 2026 |
| Sahnga | Unmetered timeline, dependencies, no task cap — free for one person, $5/person for teams, flat. | |
Competitor terms checked July 2026 against each vendor's own pricing page, linked on every row. TeamGantt and GanttPRO are Gantt-first tools that sit outside that tracked set, so they carry their own date instead: we read their published pages directly on August 1, 2026, and each of those rows says so. Spot something out of date? Tell us and we'll fix it.
Questions
Free Gantt chart FAQ
Is the free Gantt chart limited?+
No. There is no use meter on the timeline, no cap on tasks or projects, and no feature held back for a paid tier — the whole product is free for one person, timeline and dependencies included. The price changes only when a second person starts creating and editing work.
Do I need a credit card?+
No, and you never will to use the free plan. You only reach a payment form when your team grows past one person and you decide to add a paid seat.
What happens when my team joins?+
Every person who creates or edits work is $5 a month and the first one stays free — flat, with no upsells. Viewers, commenters, guests and clients are unlimited and never count. Seats settle at renewal, so adding someone mid-month costs nothing until your next bill, and no prorations ever appear on it.
Can clients see the plan without an account?+
Yes. A public roadmap link shows goals, their date ranges and their progress to anyone who opens it — no sign-up, no app, nothing to install. Task titles, comments and member names are never on that page, and the link is revocable whenever you want it gone.
