Frequently asked questions
What does ProjectManager cost and is there a free plan?
Pricing is per user, per month, billed monthly or annually, with annual billing saving up to 17%. There is no free-forever plan: the vendor offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card required and no user minimums. The Team edition supports up to 10 users, Business removes user limits, and Enterprise is a custom, volume-based quote. ACH is accepted for annual plans.
How long does implementation take?
The vendor positions ProjectManager as self-serve with no months-long implementation: teams can start with a 30-day trial, import existing projects, and copy projects or apply templates to ramp up in days rather than weeks. There is no stated mandatory implementation fee. Enterprise customers can buy onboarding assistance and personalised training, and a dedicated customer success manager is included with annual Enterprise contracts.
Which industries does ProjectManager target?
The home page names four segments: construction, professional services, manufacturing and IT teams, and the customer stories in the source set sit largely in those verticals (for example Construc, SolarStone, Lamothermic, CatSci and a manufacturing operations consultancy). Construction and manufacturing users are specifically served by the mobile app for on-site task updates.
What integrations are available?
The vendor advertises 1,000+ connected apps. Named integrations include Slack, Microsoft Teams, Office 365, Jira, Azure DevOps, Microsoft Project, Power BI, Excel, QuickBooks Online, Acumatica, MYOB Acumatica, Trello, Google Workspace apps and Salesforce and HubSpot via Zapier. A public API is available on all plans for bespoke integrations. Note that some integrations are copy-only while others offer two-way sync.
Is ProjectManager secure and does it have AI features?
The home page states the platform provides custom roles, permissions, approval workflows, project restrictions and SOC 2 compliance, with 2FA and SAML SSO and audit logs on higher editions; buyers should request the security whitepaper for current certification scope. On AI, the pricing page lists an 'AI Project Insights' feature on the Business edition that surfaces progress and risk insights; no model provider or AI governance detail is published.
