What Cirkus is
Cirkus is project management software for video production teams, covering work from pre-production through final delivery. Teams can arrange phases and milestones with Gantt-style planning, track tasks, and view real-time crew and resource availability to reduce conflicts and double bookings. Projects and tasks support comments, file attachments, status updates, proofing, and approvals. Creative briefs, workload planning, and time tracking cover additional production needs. Cirkus supports predefined pricing for quotes, budget tracking, financial reporting, and time reports against projects and tasks. Zapier integration and REST API access provide connections with other services, including Zapier actions for projects, tasks, and bookings. Pro costs $35 a month and Business costs $75 a month, both billed monthly. A 30-day trial starts without a credit card, but the workspace is disabled if payment is not added before the trial ends. Platforms include web, iOS, macOS, and API access.
