Our verdict on Productive

Productive combines project management with professional services automation for agencies, consultancies, and other service businesses. Teams can manage projects and tasks, assign work, track estimates and dependencies, monitor budgets and profitability, plan resources, record time, manage expenses, and collaborate with clients. Work can be organized through boards, lists, timelines, calendars, and Gantt layouts. The platform is available on web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, with an open API for broader connectivity.

Pricing starts with a 14-day free trial and no ongoing free plan. Essential costs $10 per user per month when billed monthly and includes budgeting, resource planning, project and task management, docs, time tracking, and expense management. Professional costs $25 per user per month when billed monthly and adds HRIS and invoicing integrations, recurring budgets, teams, advanced task management, and advanced reports. The published annual plans show Essential at $12 per user per month and Professional at $25 per user per month. Ultimate adds revenue forecasting, Scenario Builder, multiple subsidiaries, advanced time tracking, advanced custom fields, and webhooks.

Productive is particularly well suited to teams that need financial oversight alongside delivery work. Resource planning and workload management support capacity decisions, while reporting, dashboards, workflow automations, and profitability tracking connect daily execution with business performance. Integrations include QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Accounting, Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, Zapier, Slack, BambooHR, and other accounting, calendar, email, and workflow tools. AI features include an assistant, AI time tracking, report generation, and AI-powered automation setup. Agencies seeking project margins, staffing visibility, and client collaboration should consider Productive; teams wanting a general-purpose task manager or a free-first product should look elsewhere.
