The Verdict
Smartsheet is built for enterprise and pmo teams, with a focus on grid-view and gantt. TeamGantt targets project managers and construction and leads with gantt-charts and task-dependencies.
On pricing, Smartsheet is the clear winner for budget-conscious users — starting at $9/mo compared to $19/mo for TeamGantt. That $10/mo difference adds up quickly for growing teams.
Smartsheet has a free plan, which gives it a meaningful edge for individuals and small teams exploring their options. TeamGantt requires a paid subscription from day one.
Feature-wise, Smartsheet offers broader built-in capabilities (7 features vs 6), while TeamGantt takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
Both tools are a solid fit for construction — in those cases, the decision often comes down to workflow style and how your team prefers to organize work.
This is a genuinely close comparison. If you can, sign up for both free trials (where available) and run a one-week test with your actual team tasks before deciding.
