OmniPlan review

OmniPlan closes the list. It is the most analytical scheduler here after Microsoft Project, and the only one that runs as a native app. OmniPlan 4 highlights the critical path, keeps multiple baselines to compare progress with the original plan, runs Monte Carlo simulation across hundreds of possible outcomes and applies earned value analysis formulas to budget and value. It flags scheduling violations so resources are not double booked, pulls in team calendars to avoid conflicts and offers multi-project dashboards. Buyers can pay $199.99 a year for a subscription that always includes the latest Pro version, or buy a perpetual Standard license at $199.99 or Pro at $399.99, each covering Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro and all 4.x updates. The ranking reflects its narrow fit: it needs Apple devices, and it is built for a planner who owns the schedule rather than a team editing it together in a browser.

Who it is for

Mac-based project managers who want desktop-class scheduling and can buy a license instead of a cloud seat.
