Comparison
ProjectLibre alternative
ProjectLibre is the classic free desktop answer to Microsoft Project: solid scheduling, Java application, one machine at a time. Gantify does the scheduling in the browser and shares it by link. Both are free, so the comparison is about how you work, not about price.
Short answer
If you work alone on one computer and want a tool that runs without a network, ProjectLibre is still a good answer. If more than one person has to see the same plan, or you do not want to install Java, Gantify is the easier path.

Where Gantify is behind
The honest list. If one of these is critical for you, Gantify is not the right tool yet.
- No offline desktop mode: Gantify needs a connection.
- No automatic resource levelling, which ProjectLibre does have.
- No earned value reporting or PERT charts.
Where Gantify wins
- Nothing to install and nothing to keep updated, on any operating system.
- Several people work on the same plan and see the same version.
- The plan is reachable from a phone, without a desktop session.
Try it with your own plan
Import the .mpp and compare the dates yourself. That is the only benchmark that counts.
