Runn review

Runn earns third place for its planning depth at a published price. Every plan includes scheduling, tentative projects, unlimited placeholders, skills and tags, capacity and utilization charts, project budgets, rate cards, planned versus actuals and bench reporting, so even Lite at $7 per resource seat a month gives a services firm a forward view of who is idle. Standard at $11 is the plan you can buy yourself: it adds timesheets, five custom fields, out-of-the-box integrations, an API, utilization insights and budget by phase. Advanced, priced on request, adds workstreams, resource requests, SmartMatch AI in beta, SAML SSO and unlimited saved scenarios. Seats are counted by resources on the planner rather than login users, which suits firms where few people plan and many are planned. The catches are that Lite has to be requested from Runn, and the Harvest and Clockify integrations are only on Advanced.
