    This is not real project management application at all!

    Great software, very user-friendly and with loads of features (including full-blown Gantt) if you pay at least the professional subscription. Great for collaboration and project management. The free version has no Gantt, nor dependencies between tasks,which cripples it substantially in my opinion.

    It is just a task board with chat features. There are no real tracking features like gantt chart and definitely no resource leveling

    Full-featured mac project management software, including all the important features of MS Project that other alternatives lack, such as network diagrams; it's basically MS Project but with a UI that isn't horrible.

    Many of the MS Project alternatives listed are not based on a waterfall/GANTT-style design, but this is.
