A project management app helps teams plan, organize, and complete work. It provides one place to track tasks, schedules, files, and more, so projects run smoothly.
With a project management app, you can:
With everything in one platform, managers can see project status in real time, solve problems early, and keep everyone updated.
A project management system helps businesses finish projects on deadline while keeping everyone in the loop. It makes it easier to see what’s happening, who’s doing what, and how projects are tracking against goals.
Key benefits include:
In short: project management systems brings everything into one place, helping teams work smarter and businesses grow stronger.
A project management platform is built to help teams plan, organize, track, and deliver work efficiently.
Key features usually include:
Some advanced platforms also offer AI-powered insights, portfolio management across multiple projects, and risk management features.
When deciding whether to build or buy a project management (PM) tool, the choice largely depends on your business needs, budget, timeline, and long-term strategy.
Some teams benefit from the speed of buying an off-the-shelf solution, while others gain more in the long run by building a custom system with no-code.
Buy an off-the-shelf project management tool when:
Build with no-code platforms (like Softr) when:
Yes! With Softr, you can create secure portals for clients, contractors, or partners and:
This makes collaboration better while protecting sensitive information. It also lets you build one project management system to use with multiple clients.
Softr offers a free plan to get started, with paid plans that scale based on features and usage — not per-seat pricing like most project management software.
Unlike most PM tools that charge per seat, Softr keeps pricing predictable, so you can grow without worrying about rising costs if you add clients or collaborators.
Creating a custom project management system doesn’t require an IT team or engineering skills. With no-code builders like Softr, you can design it visually and directly integrate it with your existing data.
In Softr, the steps usually look like this:
With Softr, you can do all this without coding, using pre-built templates, integrations, or an AI app builder to get started even faster.
With Softr, you can build a project management app on top of the tools you already use, so you don’t need to move your data. Softr supports 15+ native integrations, including Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, HubSpot, and SQL databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Supabase. You can also connect any other tool using the REST API connector.
If you don’t have a system in place, you can use Softr Databases to design and manage your project data and connect it to your app. This means you can choose whether to keep data where it already lives, or build everything inside Softr from scratch.
With Softr, you can add a built-in AI assistant to your project management app without any extra setup. Instead of coding prompts or configuring separate tools, the assistant works directly with your project data.
For example, team members can search tasks, deadlines, or project updates in plain language, generate progress summaries, or ask questions without digging through spreadsheets or dashboards. On the admin side, managers can use AI to spot bottlenecks and streamline reporting.
The AI assistant only reads the data each user already has access to. That means team members, clients, or external partners can get instant answers to their questions, but never see information outside their permissions.
Off-the-shelf project management tools like monday.com or ClickUp are quick to set up but lock you into rigid workflows, seat-based pricing, and limited client access.
With Softr, you have two options:
In both cases, you get full control over features, data structure, and permissions — and predictable costs as you scale.
