The 9 closest of 14, each with its real monthly cost at 5 users and what it does that Nifty does not. See all 15.
Every platform here that costs less than Nifty gives up something we verified. There is no cheaper like-for-like, so the question is which feature you are willing to trade, and the cards below name it for each one. That is a point in its favour, not a dodge.
A team of 11 pays the 30-member Business price, Native Forms, SAML, white labelling and IP restriction only arrive on the $499 Unlimited plan, and the page never names Kanban or a calendar view.
It runs $0 a month at 5 users with the add-ons it forces on you included. Nothing else we list in task and project management tools costs less than that.
Ranked by how much of what we record for Nifty each platform also does. Asana is the nearest, and it is $67.45 a month dearer at 5 users. On every feature this site records, the two are level.
$67.45 a month dearer$0 at 1 user
A team that already knows Asana or wants the most widely used project tool, with a clear path from Starter up to goals, portfolios, resourcing and enterprise controls.
Prices are the real monthly cost at 5 users with the add-ons each platform forces on you included, from the same engine the shortlist quiz uses.
Same money$0 at 1 user
A team that wants tasks, docs, goals, time tracking and dashboards in one configurable app and is happy to pay per user for the lot, or run a small team on the free plan with no member cap.
Same money$0 at 1 user
Teams that want a full project suite, with Gantt, timesheets, budgets and workflow automation, at the lowest per-user price in the category, especially if they already run on Zoho.
Same money$0 at 1 user
Small teams that want a clean task tool with notes attached, a free plan with unlimited members, and a modest per-user price, rather than a full project suite.
Same money$0 at 1 user
A mid-sized team that expects to grow into resource planning, budgeting and BI, and can commit to a year up front.
Same money$0 at 1 user
An agency or services team that bills clients for its time and wants intake forms, time budgets, retainers and client invoicing in the same tool as the tasks.
Same money$0 at 1 user
Teams who keep their docs, tables and lightweight trackers in one workspace and only want to pay for the people who build them.
$60 a month dearer$0 at 1 user
A team whose wiki and docs come first and that wants its tasks, databases, forms and AI agent living inside the same pages, with a free plan that genuinely works for one person.
$60 a month dearer$0 at 1 user
A team of three or more that wants colourful boards with automations, timelines and guest access, and an upgrade path to portfolio and resource management on Enterprise.
Teams of 7 to 30 who want tasks, milestones, docs, chat, time tracking and client guests under one flat monthly price instead of a per-seat bill.
On this site it is the pick for one price for everyone, tasks, docs and goals in one app and agency and client projects. Which is why nothing cheaper here matches it.
Every cheaper option we price gives something up against Nifty, which is a point in its favour.
Nothing, at the sizes we price. Nifty's Free plan covers 1 to 10 users, so the figure in our table is $0 at all four. Paid plans add features rather than seats.
A team of 11 pays the 30-member Business price, Native Forms, SAML, white labelling and IP restriction only arrive on the $499 Unlimited plan, and the page never names Kanban or a calendar view.
We compare 14 of them here, every one priced at the same size off its own pricing page, and the whole list of 15 is on the task management page.
Should yours be on this list? If you make task and project management tools and it is not compared here, ask to be shortlisted. Listings are free and cannot be bought.
Two features were checked against each vendor's own pricing page: a price that does not move with users and a free plan. Those are the ones written above as does and does not. The other 14 are read out of each vendor's own pricing page, so an absence there means we did not find it listed, not that the product lacks it, and those lines say lists and does not list instead. How all of this gets checked.
This page compares everything to Nifty. The shortlist asks 6 questions about who the work is for and how you like to see it, and gives you four picks priced at your own team size, which is a better question than “what is like the one I already have”.
