Leantime stands apart because it is designed for people who do not think of themselves as project managers, with explicit support for ADHD, dyslexia and autism. Its My Work dashboard pulls tasks from every project into one view, and time blocking, notes and whiteboards help individuals plan the day. Tasks link to goals and milestones, which helps small teams keep strategy and execution together. The hosted Leantime Pro plan is a single tier with all features, 500 AI credits a month and a 14-day trial, at $10 per user billed monthly or $8 billed annually. There is no free hosted tier: Leantime says it dropped it in favor of the open source Community Edition, which is AGPLv3, self-hosted and community supported, with advanced features available as plugins. Teams that need deep agile reporting or Gantt-driven scheduling will find more in OpenProject, but for people-first planning Leantime is a strong option.
