Users with more than one premium role count as one seat. Organization owners are billed monthly or yearly. Yearly payments save 2 months. Organization owners can increase or decrease premium seats according to the organization’s needs. Some roles –stakeholders, team members, sponsors and resource managers– are always free.
3) What if I want to stop paying?

The user who creates the premium organization is appointed as the organization owner. A trial period of 20 days is then started. During the trial, the owner should decide if upgrading or reverting back to the free organization PMPeople. When upgrade is started, the organization owner is billed just for the premium seats, that is, only for those users who use one or more of the following roles: requester, PMO, project manager assistant, portfolio manager, program manager, project manager, or functional manager.

6) How is PMPeople tool compared with competitors?
Our competitors are other PPM tools such as Microsoft Project Server, Sciforma, Clarity, SAP PPM, Planview, ProjectManager.com, SmartSheet, etc. All these products are not free, they are not designed as mobile applications, and they do not integrate easily with other products. PMPeople is integrated with task management tools like Asana, Jira, Wrike, Basecamp, Monday, ClickUP, Trello, etc. We are also integrated with scheduling tools like Primavera, Microsoft Project, ProjectLibre, etc. PMPeople can be used for free forever and, in premium mode, only managers count for payment –e.g. stakeholders and team members do not count–. For instance, if your organization has only 2 project managers, 20 team members and 50 stakeholders, you would pay only 40€/month !!
