What it really isA Kanban, Gantt and time-tracking app that runs alongside Google Workspace, with a Microsoft 365 version.
Our takeKanbanchi does one thing well: it keeps project boards where Google Workspace teams already work.
Boards live in Drive, sign-in uses Google accounts, and Calendar and Gmail tie in. The pricing needs a careful read. Essential and Premium are cheap, but Gantt charts and the time tracker require Professional, which costs several times more. If you only need boards, the lower plans or Trello may be enough.
Why we rate itTight Google Workspace integration plus Gantt and time tracking in one tool, backed by security certifications.
The catchGantt and time tracking require the pricier Professional plan, and the free account caps at 36 cards.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Minutes: sign in with a Google or Microsoft account and start a board.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    When a team needs Gantt or time tracking, moving to Professional raises the per-user price sharply.
  3. Walled garden
    Medium: built around Google Workspace; CSV and Google Sheets export on Premium and above.
