Favro

Pros

• The same card can sit on several team boards at once, so cross-team planning does not require duplicate tasks.
• Annual per-user prices of 5.10 USD on Lite and 6.80 USD on Standard are low for the category.
• Jira, Miro and Unito sync in both directions, and GitHub and GitLab can move cards when code is merged.
• The vendor states ISO/IEC 27001 and 27701 certification, and Enterprise adds SAML SSO and SCIM.
• Supports Kanban, Scrumban and SAFe, which is why it is popular with game and software studios.
• Every paid plan has a 14-day trial with no credit card required.

Cons

• There is no native Gantt chart or resource allocation, according to reviews.
• Reviewers report slower performance when many participants join a single project.
• Some reviewers say new users face a steep learning curve.
• Seats are sold in fixed buckets, so a team of 3 pays for 5 users.
• Timesheets, full dashboards, SSO and SCIM are only available on Enterprise, which has no public price.
• Monthly per-user prices are not shown publicly, and switching billing frequency means cancelling and resubscribing.

Notion

Pros

• Relational databases and nested pages let teams build their own trackers, wikis and project systems without a fixed workflow.
• Docs, knowledge base, calendar, forms and published sites are bundled in one workspace, which can replace several separate tools.
• Business includes AI agents, meeting notes and cross-app Enterprise Search without a separate per-seat AI add-on.
• Enterprise security covers SCIM, audit logs, SIEM and DLP connections, and zero data retention with AI providers.
• Strong review ratings, around 4.6 on G2 and 4.7 on Capterra.

Cons

• Reviewers repeatedly report slow loading and lag in large databases and workspaces.
• Offline support is weak and the mobile app does less than the desktop app.
• Plus includes only an AI trial, so teams that want working AI must pay for Business.
• Since late 2026, AI use beyond the monthly credit allowances pauses unless an admin buys extra credits, and some legacy discounted customers have reported large increases at renewal.
• Teams must design their own structure before it works well for project management, and new users describe the setup as unintuitive.
