02What the plan grid doesn't tell you
25-user paid-plan floor
Basic and Professional require 25 users. At Basic’s €5.95 annual-billing rate, that is €148.75 per month equivalent.
Monthly billing premium
One-month billing adds €1 per user and is available only for Cloud Basic. The pricing page lists €6.95 per user/month for Basic.
BIM add-on
BIM costs an additional €1 per user. The published pricing details do not specify further add-on conditions.
Higher-tier minimums
Premium requires 100 users and Corporate requires 250. Corporate’s price is not published, so its total cost needs a vendor quote.
03Which plan should you buy?
| If you are… | Get | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Teams wanting free self-hosting | Community | It costs €0, has no user minimum, and includes community tickets, a forum and user guides. |
| Teams needing paid support | Basic | It includes email support and Basic Enterprise add-ons, but requires 25 users. |
| Larger teams needing implementation help | Premium | It includes remote hands and installation and upgrade assistance, with a 100-user minimum. |
04Is OpenProject worth the money?
OpenProject’s free Community plan is the clearest value if your team can self-host and rely on community support. The paid plans are harder to justify for a small team: the entry tier starts at 25 users, even if you need only a few seats. Higher tiers add support and implementation help, but their minimums rise, and Corporate pricing is not published. Compare the annual-billing rate with the actual seat minimum before treating €5.95 as your likely bill.
OpenProject pricing FAQ
Is OpenProject really free?
Yes. The Community plan is listed at €0 per user/month, has no minimum user count and is aimed at teams wanting free self-managed project management. It includes community tickets, a forum and user guides. The paid Enterprise plans add support and Enterprise features.
What are the top 5 project management software?
OpenProject’s pricing information does not provide a ranked list of five project management tools, so we can’t support a top-five ranking from these details. When comparing options, check hosting requirements, support needs, user minimums and the total cost at your team size.
What are some good alternatives to OpenProject?
The published pricing information does not name competing products, so we won’t invent an alternatives list. To shortlist options, compare whether you need self-hosting or cloud hosting, what support you expect, and whether paid-plan minimums fit your team.
Is OpenProject like Jira?
There is overlap at the project-management level: OpenProject supports agile boards for Scrum and Kanban, as well as classic and hybrid project work. The published information does not establish a feature-by-feature comparison with Jira, so compare the specific workflows and plan costs you need.
