Low-cost project management with Gantt, timesheets and blueprints
Zoho Projects is a project management tool for Small businesses and Enterprise, offered as freemium ($5/mo). Founded in India in .
About Zoho Projects
Zoho Projects is the project management app in the Zoho suite, built by Zoho Corporation, the Chennai-based software company known for running a large catalog of business apps without outside investors. Its core job is planning work as projects, task lists and milestones, then tracking time, budgets and issues against that plan.
The app combines task lists, Kanban boards, Gantt charts with dependencies, an issue tracker, timesheets and time logs, budgets with earned value metrics, task blueprints that enforce a fixed workflow, and workflow automation. Zia, Zoho's AI assistant, summarizes and translates tasks and suggests subtasks. The free plan covers up to five users and three projects; Premium opens unlimited projects and time tracking, Enterprise adds SSO, critical path and baselines, and Ultimate adds resource management and portfolio dashboards.
Zoho Projects suits small and mid-sized companies and agencies that need classic, plan-driven project management and billable time at a low per-user price, especially if they already use Zoho CRM or Zoho Books. The interface is less polished than Asana or monday.com, and its agile tooling is thinner than Jira, which Zoho covers with a separate product, Zoho Sprints. ClickUp offers more flexible views and docs inside the same price range.
Buying tip: Premium is $5 per user per month on monthly billing and $4 on annual billing, among the lowest prices for Gantt charts and timesheets. Teams that need several Zoho apps should price Zoho One before buying Projects on its own.
