Buy once. Own it for good.
One $79 license at launch — free while in beta. Pay for the tool, keep your data, and never rent your own roadmap.
Pay once
A straightforward license — not a subscription that bills you forever for a tool you already own.
Everything included
The full app, every edition, and the AI assistant. One license unlocks everything — no add-on tiers, no per-feature upsells.
Your data stays yours
Local-first by architecture. There's no cloud seat to meter and no data of yours for us to hold.
GanttPulse License
$79 one-time
Per seat · never a subscription

Pricing questions
- What does it cost?
- $79 one-time, per seat. During the beta the complete app is free for everyone, and beta users lock in $49 at launch as a thank-you.
- How does the free beta work?
- For roughly the first three months the full app is free while the last pieces are polished with real users. Beta keys simply expire at launch — your projects are files on your own disk and stay yours; keep going with the 30-day trial or a license.
- Is it a subscription?
- No. You buy a license once and keep using it. There's no recurring charge to open your own projects.
- How do updates work?
- Minor and patch updates are free for your version, forever. Major new versions are an optional paid upgrade — your current version never stops working.
- Is the license tied to my PC?
- Yes — that's what lets it validate offline with no activation server. One license covers two machines (say, work and home), and moving to a new PC is a free, same-day reissue.
- What happens if GanttPulse disappears?
- Your license keeps working: it validates offline with public-key cryptography, so there is no activation server that can be shut down. Your projects are files on your own disk, and you can export everything to Excel, CSV, MS Project XML, or JSON at any time.
- Do I have to be online?
- Only for the AI assistant, which calls the provider you choose. Everything else runs fully offline.
- What about refunds?
- Simple: a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked — on top of the free trial. Details on the Refunds page
