Gantt chart software built for freelancers, not project management offices
Most Gantt software is built for companies with a "Head of Project Delivery." Resource allocation, portfolio dashboards, per-seat licenses — features you'll never touch, at prices designed for departments.
You have a different problem: three client projects running at once, deadlines that shift weekly, and clients who ask "where are we on this?" every Friday. You need a timeline you can build in minutes, update in seconds, and show to a client without apologizing for it.
That's the entire product.
What a freelancer actually needs from a Gantt chart
- Speed over ceremony. Create a project and have a presentable timeline before your coffee cools. No setup wizards, no mandatory fields.
- Client-ready by default. Clean, professional charts you can drop into a proposal or status email. Your tools reflect on you — this one makes you look organized.
- Deadlines that move together. Client pushes the kickoff a week? Drag one bar; dependent tasks follow. No rebuilding the plan.
- Multiple projects, one view. Every client project in one place, so Monday morning starts with clarity instead of tab-hunting.
- A price that respects a freelancer's budget. Free forever for individuals. When you grow into a small team, pricing stays flat — no per-seat math.
Where ExtravaGantt fits in your workflow
- 1
Proposal stage: sketch the project timeline in ExtravaGantt and include it in your pitch — a visual plan wins work.
- 2
Kickoff: turn the sketch into the real plan; set milestones for every deliverable and invoice point.
- 3
Weekly updates: send clients a read-only share link or a PNG/PDF snapshot instead of writing status essays.
- 4
Scope changes: when the client adds work, add the task — the timeline shift is visible immediately, which makes the "this moves the deadline" conversation easy and evidence-based.
Deliberately simple
ExtravaGantt leaves out resource leveling, portfolio rollups, and admin consoles on purpose. Freelancers don't need them, and every enterprise feature makes a tool slower to learn and heavier to use. If your project management software needs its own training course, it's not saving you time. Ready to try it? Build a Gantt chart here, or see how we stack up against Elegantt.
FAQ
Is there really a free plan?
Yes — free forever for individuals. It's not a trial.
Can clients see my Gantt chart?
Yes — share a read-only link (no login needed for viewers) or export as PNG/PDF for proposals and updates.
Do I need project management experience?
No. If you can make a list of tasks with dates, you can build a Gantt chart here. Dependencies and milestones are there when you want them, invisible when you don't.
What if I start working with subcontractors?
Assign them tasks as labels. Flat monthly plans, never per-user fees — a project with five collaborators costs the same as working alone.
How is this different from Trello or Notion?
Boards and docs answer "what needs doing." A Gantt chart answers "when, in what order, and what happens if this slips." Many freelancers use both — ExtravaGantt is where the timeline lives.
