How to choose Project Management tools
Todoist, Trello, Wrike, Asana, and ClickUp all have free plans. Microsoft To Do has a free plan with no paid tier listed. Freedcamp's free tier includes unlimited projects. Jira, monday.com, Kantata PSA, and RoboHead have no free plan and do not publish a starting price.
Two things separate these tools more than anything else. The first is scope: Microsoft To Do and Todoist are built for task lists and daily planning, while Wrike, Asana, and ClickUp add automation, workload views, and reporting on top. The second is cost before any work begins. Trello's free plan limits a workspace to 10 collaborators. Todoist's free plan limits the number of projects. Kantata PSA and RoboHead give no price without a sales call, making them harder to evaluate without a conversation first.
Which tools cover product roadmapping and idea sorting
Nine tools here support product roadmapping and eight cover idea sorting. Roadmunk, ProductPlan, Craft.io, and ProdPad sit in the roadmapping space. So do airfocus, Aha!, Canny, and Productboard. Jira Product Discovery is the roadmapping add-on from the same maker as Jira. None of these tools list a starting price openly; all require a sales call or sign-up to see costs. Asana covers goal tracking and idea sorting alongside project work. Its plans run from $0 to $24.99 per user per month, so costs are visible before any conversation.
What the free plans actually include
Fifteen tools here have a free tier. Microsoft To Do has a free plan with no paid plan listed, though its pricing is marked freemium. Freedcamp's free tier includes unlimited projects under a fair usage policy. Trello's free plan caps the workspace at 10 collaborators. Todoist's free plan limits the number of projects and locks out features like calendar view and task durations. Asana and ClickUp both offer a free forever tier, but automation and advanced reporting sit behind paid plans. Wrike has a free tier, with paid plans at $10 and $25 per user per month. Any.do's personal plan is free forever, with team features starting at $4.99 per member per month.
How much automation and depth each tool adds
Todoist and Microsoft To Do handle recurring tasks and reminders well but stop short of workflow automation. Trello adds built-in automation; its most advanced add-ons require a Premium plan at $10 per user per month. Wrike, Asana, and ClickUp include automation rules, multiple work views, and reporting. ClickUp's paid plans start at $7 per user per month. Asana's Starter plan is $10.99 per user per month and adds custom workflows and forms. Kantata PSA combines resource forecasting, financial tracking, and project management. It is built for professional services firms and gives no price without a sales call.
