Project Timeline
Open the app
Plan it as a Gantt chart. Present it on one slide.
Most timeline tools make you pick one: a scheduler your team works in, or a polished timeline for executives. Project Timeline does both from the same plan, free in your browser. Here's how it compares with Lucen Timeline, TeamGantt, GanttPRO and Preceden.

Common frustrations, and how Project Timeline handles them
Lucen Timeline
- Slow or clunky, especially the Expert tier
- Manual work to fit a timeline onto one slide
- Limited font and style controls
- Office updates can break the add-in
Project Timeline runs in the browser, so there's nothing to install or break. The consolidated view packs the whole plan onto one screen, and saved color palettes keep it on brand.
TeamGantt
- Price climbs as you unlock features
- Free plan is tight: 3 users
- Exports aren't built for executive decks
Project Timeline Pro is one flat €3.99 a month. Anyone can view a plan through a public link without an account, and exports are made to paste onto slides.
GanttPRO
- Steep learning curve for beginners
- Expensive for small teams
- Mobile app is basic next to desktop
Project Timeline opens straight onto the chart, with no account or setup. When you don't know where a setting lives, tell the AI what you want changed instead.
Themes are summarized from G2, Capterra, Software Advice and Trustpilot reviews. Individual experiences vary.
