Our verdict

Choose Smartsheet when spreadsheet-style planning, Gantt and portfolio reporting are the primary job. Compare monday/Wrike for Work OS peers, Asana for cross-functional adoption, and Office Timeline for PowerPoint-only decks. Scores reflect first-party documentation as of 2026-08-17 — not hands-on product testing. Confirm current packaging, minimums and usage rates on the vendor site before purchase.

Best for

  • Excel/spreadsheet-native PMOs
  • Ops teams needing Gantt + portfolios
  • Structured program reporting

Not ideal for

  • Lightweight Kanban-only teams (Trello)
  • Docs-first knowledge work (Notion)
  • Eng sprint defaults (Jira)

Bottom line

Pro $9, Business $19 per member/mo annual; Enterprise custom. Trial available. Confirm live.
