Dart

Overview

Dart combines a project workspace with AI agents that can divide goals among specialists and connect their results to team work. It is best suited to teams that want AI involved in both planning and execution, rather than a conventional task tracker alone.

Its project views and coordination tools cover a broad range of work, while integrations and an API offer routes to connect existing tools. The trade-off is that the free plan stops at four teammates, so teams needing more seats must pay.

Key features

Project work and planning

List, board, roadmap, and calendar layouts give teams several ways to manage the same work, while subtasks, blockers, dependencies, sprint management, and time tracking support coordination from task breakdown through follow-up. Proofing and approvals, creative briefs, workload planning, and asset versioning add relevance for creative and operations teams. This breadth makes Dart more than an agent interface, though the features may be unnecessary for teams that only need a simple task list.

Agents and AI assistance

Dart describes lead agents that break goals into smaller assignments and coordinate specialist agents, with people setting direction and intervening when useful. AI task execution, subtask generation, project planning, duplicate detection, and natural-language task property filling extend AI beyond chat. That approach is a good fit for teams prepared to incorporate agents into project workflows; teams seeking only manual task management may not benefit from its emphasis.

Integrations, API, and security

Integrations include Slack, Discord, GitHub, ChatGPT, Claude, Google, Notion, Jira, Microsoft Project, Zapier, n8n, and Pipedream. Dart also offers an API, libraries, and a command line interface for custom integrations and automation, which is useful for teams with established systems to connect.

Dart says it meets SOC 2 Type II requirements and complies with SOC 2, GDPR, and CCPA. It states that data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2 and at rest with AES-256, and that customer data is not stored or used by its AI providers to train models. Those safeguards matter to organizations assessing AI in their work, though compliance does not replace an organization's own security review.

Pricing

Personal: free, billed $0 per teammate per month. It includes up to four teammates, unlimited tasks and docs, AI agents, AI task execution, AI reporting, AI task property filling, AI subtask generation, and ChatGPT and Claude integrations. It is a capable starting point for a small team, but the four-seat ceiling rules it out for larger groups.

Premium: $8 a month, billed $8 per teammate per month. It removes the teammate cap and adds AI chat, AI roadmap planning, AI brainstorming, admin and guest roles, custom statuses and properties, forms, and Slack, Discord, and GitHub integrations. This is the practical tier for growing teams that need more seats and those connections.

Business: $12 a month, billed $12 per teammate per month. It includes Premium plus SAML SSO and SCIM, public views, charts and analytics, granular access management, customizable dashboards, priority support, and a dedicated success manager. The extra spend is most relevant to organizations needing identity management, finer access controls, and higher-touch support; smaller teams may not need those additions.

Personal and Premium include a one-day support SLA. Business adds priority support and a dedicated success manager. Mac users need macOS 11 or higher, and the Windows app is for Windows 10/11 devices.

Platforms

Dart supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows, and provides an API. The desktop requirements are macOS 11 or higher and Windows 10/11, respectively.

Who it's for

Dart names product and engineering, marketing, sales, customer success, design, people and HR, and operations among its use cases. Its combination of project views, coordination features, and agents is most compelling for teams that want AI task work tied to shared plans. Creative teams may also value proofing, approvals, briefs, workload planning, and asset versioning. A small team can begin on Personal; a team above four people needs Premium or Business.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Multiple project layouts plus dependencies, blockers, sprint management, and time tracking support varied planning needs.
• Pros: Agents, AI task execution, and planning features bring AI into the workflow rather than limiting it to chat.
• Pros: Broad integrations, an API, libraries, and CLI give teams options for connecting tools and automating workflows.
• Cons: The free plan caps participation at four teammates, making it unsuitable for larger teams without a paid subscription.
• Cons: Premium is needed for unlimited teammates and Slack, Discord, and GitHub integrations; Business is needed for SSO, SCIM, and granular access management.

Alternatives

For a creative-software shortlist, start with Creative Project Management Software.

• Celtx has a free plan limited to one project, with cloud-based script editors and real-time collaboration; consider it when that project scope fits your work.
• Wrike offers a free plan with unlimited users, 2 GB storage per account, and 200 active tasks per account; consider it when those task and storage limits suit your needs.
• Ziflow has a free plan with unlimited proofs and reviewers, two users, 2 GB storage, one workflow stage, and 60 days of review history; consider it for a small review workflow.
• Frame.io has a free plan with up to two members, 2 GB storage, up to two projects, and transcription and captions; consider it when that project and seat allowance fits.
• Kitsu offers a free, open-source self-hosted plan; choose it if you want to manage your own infrastructure, backups, monitoring, security, and upgrades.
• Krock.io has a free plan for one user, with 2 GB storage, one workspace, two projects, 50 AI tokens, and unlimited reviewers; consider it if those limits cover your workload.
• Runnit has a free plan for up to five people with 500 shared AI credits per month, 1 GB storage, and up to 20 clients, brands, or departments; consider it when those allowances fit.
• CreativeOps Tracker is another option.

Verdict

Choose Dart if your team wants project management and agent workflows in one workspace, with enough integrations to connect common tools and a free tier for up to four people. Its clearest limitation is the seat cap on Personal: teams that need more members must budget at least $8 per teammate per month for Premium, while organizations needing identity controls and priority support will need Business.
