Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Generous free plan supporting up to 10 users with unlimited tasks and projects
  • Australian data residency available on Enterprise+ plan (AWS Sydney) — rare among global PM tools
  • Powerful workflow automation builder to reduce manual project management overhead
  • Multiple project views including list, board, timeline (Gantt), and calendar
  • 200+ integrations including Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Jira, and Salesforce
  • Strong enterprise security with SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, HIPAA support, and EKM
  • AI-powered features for task summarisation, status updates, and workflow recommendations
  • Goals and portfolios provide cross-project strategic alignment (Advanced plan and above)

Cons

  • All pricing in USD only — no AUD pricing page, so AU customers face currency conversion costs and exchange rate fluctuations
  • Australian data hosting requires Enterprise+ plan (custom pricing) — not available on Starter or Advanced
  • Support hours are US Eastern (8am-7pm EST), with limited overlap to AEST business hours — expect delayed responses during AU daytime
  • No Australian phone support line or AU-based support team
  • Per-user pricing adds up quickly for larger teams — a 20-person team on Advanced costs ~US$500/month (annual billing)
  • Seat purchases use tiered increments (5, 10, etc.) rather than exact headcount — you may pay for unused seats
  • Single assignee per task limitation may frustrate teams used to multi-assignee tools like monday.com
