60/100

#11 of 11 project management tools
Facts checked 8 Oct 2026

In short

ProofHub suits teams that would rather pay one flat price than count seats: Essential is $45 a month for unlimited users, so five people pay $451. Most planning and client features are listed2. The catch: there is no free plan, Ultimate Control rises to $135 after three months, and its vendor pages name no SOC 2, ISO 27001, SSO or two-factor sign-in1,3.

Best for: Teams that want one flat price however many people join.
