Frequently Asked Questions

For teams, yes. GanttPRO charges per user at $9.99/month, so a team of 3 pays $30/month. YAPL charges a flat $15/month per workspace for up to 3 members, which is half the cost for the same team size, and the price stays flat as you add more core features.

YAPL's Professional tier supports importing and exporting standard file formats, so you can bring your project data across when you switch from GanttPRO. There's also a 14-day free trial with no credit card required to test the move.

Not really. GanttPRO's mobile app is limited to viewing and minor edits and needs an active internet connection at all times. YAPL is a full offline PWA with read and write access that syncs automatically once you're back online, which matters if your team works in the field.

Both have a moderate learning curve. GanttPRO's interface is feature-heavy with multiple views and settings that can slow down initial onboarding. Where GanttPRO does pull ahead is its template library, which is larger and includes more industry-specific presets than YAPL's.

Choose YAPL if you're a team of 3 or more, need offline access for field work, and want a draft-and-publish workflow that protects your schedule from accidental changes. Choose GanttPRO if you're a solo freelancer or independent project manager who wants a large template library and a more established integrations marketplace.
