SmartSuite

Pros

• The same records can be shown as grid, Kanban, Gantt, timeline, calendar, map and dashboard views without duplicating data.
• Its compliance coverage is unusually strong for the category, with ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and GDPR audits plus a choice of US or EU data residency.
• Read-only users, commenters and form submitters are free, which lowers the cost of involving stakeholders.
• It ships more than 200 templates and an AI solution builder to speed up setup.
• Reviewers describe the support team as responsive.

Cons

• Team, Professional and Enterprise carry 3-, 5- and 25-seat minimums, and there is no free plan.
• The Team plan allows only 5,000 records per solution, and automation runs plus API calls are hard-capped each month.
• SAML SSO and SCIM are available only on Enterprise and Signature plans.
• There is no team chat or whiteboard, and external access is limited to read-only shared views.
• Reviewers say complex workflows and large data imports take real setup effort, and there are no native desktop apps.

Teamhood

Pros

• One plan includes every feature: Gantt, capacity planning, timesheets, automation and the API
• Kanban boards and Gantt timelines run on the same task data, with dependencies that reschedule automatically
• Hosting can be EU-based SaaS, dedicated, hybrid or on-premise, which helps teams with strict data residency rules
• Reviewers consistently praise how quickly teams adopt it, and it holds a 4.7 rating on G2

Cons

• There are no native iOS or Android apps
• The integration library is smaller than Jira's or ClickUp's, and less common apps need Zapier or the API
• The 3-user minimum, with guests counted as paid licenses, raises costs for small teams and for client access
• Some users report occasional time-tracking inaccuracies and few reminder email options
