The bottom line

A capable task-planning tool with a practical free tier and per-member pricing to watch.

Quire brings nested task lists, focused sublists, Kanban boards, Gantt timelines, shared documents and reports into one project-management product. Its free plan allows up to 10 members and 4 projects, with 1,000 tasks per project and 400 MB per organization.

Professional costs $10.95 per member monthly, or $7.65 per member monthly when billed yearly, according to the published pricing details. That plan raises the limits to 100 projects, 20,000 tasks per project and 20 GB per organization. The Reddit threads we read do not provide relevant feedback about Quire as project-management software, so user sentiment is unclear.

01What Quire actually does

Quire is project-management software for breaking larger ideas into trackable tasks. It gives individuals and teams several ways to organize work: nested task lists, focused sublists, Kanban boards and Gantt timelines. The aim is to turn a broad project into smaller actions, then keep those actions visible as work progresses.

Quire also includes shared documents for project notes and updates, plus interactive reports built from task data, time logs and custom formulas. Its homepage describes tools for tracking progress and organizing team agendas as well. That makes Quire more than a checklist, but its center of gravity is still task planning and project coordination—not a general marketing suite.

For a team considering a switch, the practical question is whether those different views and reporting tools fit its workflow. The free plan makes it possible to start with a small project, while the paid plan charges per member.

02Where Quire is strong

Quire’s clearest strength is giving teams different ways to break down and follow work. Nested tasks handle the small steps underneath a larger goal; focused sublists give team members a narrower view of their assignments. Kanban boards visualize workflow, while Gantt timelines show milestones and progress over time. Those are useful options for teams that need more than a flat task list.

Shared documents keep project information, notes and updates in one space. Interactive reports can draw on task data, time logs and custom formulas, which gives teams a route from day-to-day activity to a more tailored dashboard. The available material does not specify which plans include each feature, so confirm plan access before switching a whole team.

The free plan is a practical way to start: it allows up to 10 members, four projects and 1,000 tasks per project, with 400 MB of organization storage. For individuals or small teams still shaping their process, that is enough room to assess whether Quire’s task structure suits the work before paying per member.

03Where it falls short

The free tier has firm ceilings: 10 members, four projects, 1,000 tasks per project, 400 MB per organization and five task statuses per project. A team that needs more projects or workflow states will hit those limits before the task cap. The Professional plan raises them to 100 projects, 20,000 tasks per project, 20 GB per organization and 25 statuses per project, but it is not a flat team price.

According to the pricing information checked on November 6, 2026, Professional costs $10.95 per member monthly, or $7.65 per member monthly with annual billing. The annual rate is 30% lower, but the per-member model means the bill rises with headcount. Quire also lists training and consultancy from $60 per hour, and technical consultancy from $120 per hour; those are additional costs, not included in the plan prices.

The published pricing details do not identify a free trial or spell out which features belong to each tier. If reports, timelines or shared documents are essential to your workflow, confirm their availability and any limits before migrating.

04Quire pricing: what you'll actually pay

Quire has a free plan for up to 10 members and four projects, with limits of 1,000 tasks per project, 400 MB per organization, and five task statuses per project. The Professional plan costs $10.95 per member monthly, or $7.65 per member monthly with annual billing—a listed 30% saving. That is a sharp change from free: a team of five would pay $54.75 monthly, or $38.25 per month on annual billing, based on the listed per-member rates.

Professional raises the caps to 100 projects, 20,000 tasks per project, 20 GB per organization, and 25 task statuses per project. Members are purchased, so the bill scales with team size; check the annual commitment before comparing the lower rate with month-to-month alternatives. Optional services add cost: training and consultancy start at $60 per hour, while technical consultancy starts at $120 per hour. The published pricing details do not specify whether those add-ons are required.

05Switching to (or from) Quire

The published product information describes nested tasks, boards, timelines, shared documents, and reports, but does not publish migration steps, import formats, or data-export details. That leaves the practical switching effort uncertain. Before moving a live project, inventory your task hierarchy, statuses, timelines, documents, and reporting needs, then confirm how each can be imported or retained. Do not assume that task data and shared information transfer together.

The same gap matters if you leave: export options and any limits are not published in the material here, so verify them before making Quire the home for project records. The published material includes no Reddit posts or comments, so we cannot substantiate a claim about why users leave. The clearest cost-related reason to reassess is the per-member Professional charge, especially if your team exceeds the free plan’s four-project limit or needs more of its listed caps. Treat portability and user-reported switching pain as open questions, not settled facts.

From the threadsWhat users say

The Reddit discussion is about a free browser-based writing notebook called Quire, not clearly the Quire project-management product. Users discuss its local/offline behavior, raise questions about data privacy, and note that the mobile layout may be fiddly; the thread does not establish sentiment about Quire.io’s project-management features.
