Google Gantt chart vs. Bitrix24 - which one should you get?
Free Gantt chart maker
If you are looking for a free Gantt chart tool, Bitrix24 is your best choice. Unlike the free online Gantt chart in Google, with Bitrix24, you get a complete project management suite that features Scrum, Kanban boards, task time tracking, task reports, and more.
If you are still using the online Gantt chart in Google, consider Bitrix24 as an alternative - we offer plenty of other stuff that’s not available there (or any other service for that matter).
Not only do you get fully-functional Gantt charts (which are zoomable in our product, by the way), but there’s also a whole set of project management tools that you can use together with the Gantt charts in order to facilitate your work on projects.
These tools include chats, comments, online meetings, time tracking, reports, online file storage, and so much more. Invite your teammates and external users to collaborate on a project inside Bitrix24 - free of charge.
Oh, and our Gantt charts are created automatically. Instead of using a Gantt chart template in Google Sheets, you can just add your tasks in Bitrix24 and the system will build the chart for you.

Task management
Bitrix24 features various types of tasks: personal, group, sub-tasks, recurring, task templates, and more. Tasks and sub-tasks can be delegated to another person at any time. Checklists in tasks guarantee that nothing will be overlooked or lost in the shuffle.
Project management
Instead of using a Gantt chart template in Google Docs, you can use unlimited projects in Bitrix24 as they already come with Gantt charts and employee workload planning, with a specific number of hours and users allocated to a project.
There are different task roles in Bitrix24: you can set tasks yourself or be a responsible person, participant, or observer. Task counters show work progress and notify of an approaching deadline.
Document management
Bitrix24 allows you to view, co-edit, and share documents online with both your colleagues and external users. Create text documents, spreadsheets, and even presentations - all stored inside Bitrix24, with customizable access permissions.
Project communication
Working on a project means you have to communicate with your co-workers and sometimes clients or contractors. Bitrix24 gives you plenty of possibilities in this department: we have chats, online meetings (up to 48 participants). In fact, Bitrix24 offers you a whole intranet where your team can communicate, write and share posts, leave comments and likes, create polls, and more.
