TaskView vs OpenProject
OpenProject is a mature, respected self-hosted tool with over a decade of history. Here is an honest look at where the two differ, written by the TaskView developer.
Choose OpenProject if…
You need classic project management depth — Gantt charts, wiki, meeting management, budgets — and a vendor with 12+ years of enterprise and public-sector references.
Choose TaskView if…
You want SSO and SCIM without an enterprise add-on, a flat one-time price instead of per-user billing, native mobile apps, and AI-agent access via MCP.
| TaskView | OpenProject | |
|---|---|---|
| Free self-hosted edition, unlimited users | ||
| SAML / OIDC SSO in the free edition | Enterprise add-on (€5.95/user/mo) | |
| SCIM provisioning in the free edition | ||
| Paid pricing model | One-time, flat per organization ($990–$4,990) | €5.95 per user per month |
| Perpetual license option | ||
| Native iOS / Android apps | Web UI | |
| MCP server for AI agents (Claude, Cursor) | ||
| Sprints, kanban, time tracking in free edition | ||
| Gantt charts | Dependency graph instead | |
| Wiki, meetings, budgets |

What a 50-person team pays
OpenProject Enterprise on-premises at €5.95 per user per month for 50 users, versus a TaskView Team license (up to 50 people, one-time).
| TaskView Team | OpenProject Enterprise | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | $2,490 (one-time) | ≈ €3,570 |
| 3 years | $2,490 (nothing more to pay) | ≈ €10,710 |
The TaskView license is perpetual and covers every release of the major version you buy (currently 1.x). Upgrading to the next major version when it ships is optional ($1,190 for the Team tier) — and if you skip it, your version keeps working forever.
