ProjectLibre review
A strong scheduling tool for individuals, with paid cloud plans for teams and portfolios.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ProjectLibre combines free, open-source desktop project management with subscription cloud software for teams and organizations. It suits individual project managers who need more than simple task lists, especially for Gantt charts, work breakdown structures, dependencies, constraints, calendars, baselines, resources, costs, and critical-path scheduling. The desktop application runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, while the cloud offering adds browser-based collaboration and team-oriented controls.
Pricing separates the free desktop experience from the paid cloud platform. ProjectLibre Core costs $9.99 per user per month with annual billing and includes Basic and Expert UX modes, Microsoft Project import, the Gantt and WBS engine, enterprise resource management, portfolio management, and AI Copilot. Enterprise/PMO Cloud costs $29.99 per user per month with annual billing and lists the same highlights. The cloud service has a seven-day trial supporting up to 15 trial users. The free plan is limited to one user, making it a fit for solo work rather than ongoing team collaboration.
Its strongest case is depth: resource leveling, portfolio and multi-project management, Primavera import, role-based access, real-time collaboration, Monte Carlo risk analysis, DCMA audits, earned value, and SPI/CPI/TCPI metrics cover formal project-control needs. AI Copilot supports project-plan creation and updates. Choose ProjectLibre when scheduling discipline, resource planning, and portfolio oversight matter more than a lightweight task board. Solo users can start with the free desktop application; teams and PMOs should consider the cloud tiers for collaboration and access management.
