Frequently Asked Questions

How do you rank PM tools in this directory?
Every tool is scored across 7 dimensions β€” role fit, primary need, team size, budget, maturity, integration compatibility, and priority factors. Rankings in top lists reflect composite scores weighted toward the category's primary use case. We don't accept paid placements.
How do I choose between tools in the same category?
Start with your team size and budget to narrow the field, then evaluate based on your biggest workflow gap. The comparison pages show side-by-side breakdowns of strengths, pricing, and fit scores to help you decide.
Are there free PM tools worth using?
Several tools offer meaningful free tiers: ClickUp, Notion, GitHub Issues, Google Analytics, GrowthBook, FigJam, Hotjar, and Statsig all have free plans that work for small teams. Canny, Figma, and Asana also offer limited free tiers.
What's the average cost of PM software?
Most PM tools cost $8–$80 per user per month. Enterprise tools like Aha!, Dragonboat, and Optimizely use custom pricing. Budget-friendly options like Visor, ClickUp, and Linear start under $10/user/month.
Can I use the PM Tool Picker to get personalized recommendations?
Yes. The PM Tool Picker asks 7 questions about your role, team size, budget, and workflow needs, then scores all 40 tools against your answers to recommend the best fit. It takes about 2 minutes.
