Jira Gantt chart apps compared
Jira's built-in Timeline stops at one project's epics, so anything resembling a real plan means a Marketplace app. This page compares the six that matter on what a site actually pays per month — including the mandatory base app one of them hides behind — and on what each does well.

What each app costs
Monthly total for the whole site, cheapest first after our own row.

| Gantt Cloud | $11.25 | $45 | $115 | $265 | 2.96 |
| Structure.Gantt — app alone, see below | $31.75 | $127 | $386 | $971 | 4.20 |

The Structure.Gantt footnote
Structure.Gantt cannot be installed on its own: it is an extension to Structure by Tempo, which you must also license. Its listing price is therefore not its cost, and the difference is not small:
| Line item | 25 users | 100 users | 500 users | 2,000 users |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Structure.Gantt | $31.75 | $127 | $386 | $971 |
| Structure by Tempo (required) | $88 | $352 | $1,272.50 | $3,482.50 |
| Real total | $119.75 | $479 | $1,658.50 | $4,453.50 |
| FastGantt | $36.25 | $145 | $382.50 | $932.50 |
Structure is a serious product and plenty of organisations want it for its own sake, in which case the Gantt extension is a sensible add-on to something already bought. But if you came looking for a Gantt chart, the entry price is $479 a month at 100 users, not $127.
Which one to shortlist
- You already run Structure: add Structure.Gantt. Nothing else will fit your existing hierarchies as well.
- You want portfolio management, resource planning, timesheets and a Gantt view in one purchase: TeamBoard or BigGantt. Broader than FastGantt on purpose.
- You want a spreadsheet-like grid with a timeline attached: GanttTable, and its 4.69★ is the best rating in the category.
- You want a fast, editable Gantt chart that writes back to Jira and never sends your plan anywhere: FastGantt.
We are not the cheapest, on purpose
Gantt Cloud is a third of our price at every size, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. It also carries a 2.96★ rating in a category where the apps people recommend sit above 4.2★, which tells you what the discount is buying.
FastGantt is priced at roughly the category median and about 30% of the real cost of the market leader. A Gantt chart is not an occasional admin utility; it is a surface a project team lives in all day, and pricing it as an afterthought would be a claim about its quality that we do not want to make. Where we do undercut decisively is against the enterprise end — $932 against $4,453 at 2,000 users.
The question that actually separates these apps
Ask any Gantt app three things before you look at its price:
- Does dragging a bar change the Jira issue, or a copy of it? Several Gantt apps keep their own scheduling data and reconcile with Jira on a timer, which means two versions of the truth and a sync to debug. FastGantt drags the bar and the Jira dates move — there is no shadow schedule, and undo writes back too.
- How many tasks before it stops being usable? FastGantt is built on Bryntum's virtualised scheduling engine and is exercised against plans of ten thousand tasks. Ask the others for a number and test it on your own data during the trial.
- Where does the plan live? A project plan names deadlines you will miss and dependencies you have not resolved. FastGantt runs entirely on Atlassian Forge with no egress permissions declared — no outbound domain, no inbound endpoint, nothing off your tenant — and qualifies for Atlassian's Runs on Atlassian programme, which is platform-enforced rather than self-asserted. For a procurement team that is the difference between a security review and a glance at a badge. Some of the other apps in this table are also Forge-based; check each listing.
FastGantt ships dependencies, critical path, baselines, calendars, a workload view, CSV export and undo-that-writes-back. What it does not do is resource costing, portfolio roll-ups across a hundred projects, or timesheets.
What the other apps do better than FastGantt
- They have reviews and thousands of installs; we have neither. BigGantt, WBS Gantt-Chart and Structure have each been in production at thousands of sites for years. FastGantt has not. The free tier is the only honest answer we have to that.
- Breadth. Structure's hierarchies, TeamBoard's resource planning and BigGantt's portfolio features are all real capabilities FastGantt does not have.
- Data Center. Several of these have Data Center versions. FastGantt is Cloud only — it is a Forge app, and Forge is Cloud.
- We hold no security certification. No SOC 2, no ISO 27001, no independent penetration test; our security page says so in those words.
How these numbers were produced
Every price here was read from
/rest/2/addons/{key}/pricing/cloud/live — the public endpoint the
Marketplace renders its own pricing from — by a script kept in this site's
repository, so no competitor's price list is ever retyped from a screenshot.
Totals assume commercial licences, monthly billing, and that every user on the
site is charged above the free tier, which is how Atlassian bills. Annual
billing is roughly 17% cheaper on every app in the table. See
how Atlassian app billing works for the mechanics.
If a number here is wrong or has moved, tell us and we will correct it — including in our own favour or against it.
Free for sites up to 10 users, permanently
Point FastGantt at a project you already have. It reads the issues and dates that are there — there is nothing to import and nothing to configure first.
