EverGantt Pro is now free for students

EverGantt Pro is now free for students, full Pro, not a trimmed-down “student edition.” And the offer now covers Team and Business too, so a group project can edit one live plan together at no cost. Cloud save, real-time team editing, Gantt, Kanban, calendar, team capacity, exports: all of it, free, for as long as you’re enrolled.

Here’s why we did it, and two places students already fit.

Why

We didn’t build EverGantt to charge people who are still learning the work. Students run real projects (capstones, research, club operations, hackathons), usually with a team, always against a deadline, and rarely with a budget for $15-a-seat software. Charging per person for that is the exact kind of pricing we built EverGantt to avoid. So for students, the price is zero. If you’re writing a thesis, the thesis template opens with the proposal, ethics review, chapters, and defense already linked. Building a capstone instead? Start from the final year project template.

For the group project

You know the failure mode. Four people, a shared doc, a group chat, and a due date that feels far away right up until it isn’t. One person quietly ends up doing most of it, or the whole thing stalls on “I thought you were handling that.”

A plan fixes the part the group chat can’t: who’s doing what, in what order, by when. Put the term on a Gantt so the sequence is visible (design before build, build before the demo), and run the week on a board so everyone can see what’s actually moving. With the group on a free Team plan, all four of you edit the same live plan, so there’s no copy to keep in sync.

The same project as a Gantt timeline, stories grouped into phases, dependencies linking each task to the next

It’s the same plan underneath, just two views of it: the timeline for the whole term, the board for this week. That’s most of what a student team needs and not much more.

For the project-management course

There’s a second fit, and it’s a natural one: project-management courses themselves. If you’re teaching or taking a PM program, you want students working in a real tool (real dependencies, a real critical path, a board with actual WIP limits), not a screenshot on a slide or an enterprise trial that expires mid-semester.

EverGantt is free for every enrolled student, so an instructor can put a whole class on it without a procurement conversation, and students keep their accounts when the course is over. The thing they learned project management in is still there for the next project.

How to get it

Email us from your school address, or send a photo of a current student ID, and we’ll switch your account to Pro, usually the same day. Setting up a group? Tell us how many people and we’ll put you on Team or Business instead. The details are on the students & nonprofits page.

That’s the whole offer. Build the plan free in your browser today; the moment you want to save it, share it with your group, or hand it to an instructor, it’s already on us.

Frequently asked questions

Is EverGantt really free for students?

Yes. Currently-enrolled students get EverGantt free: Pro for your own projects (cloud save, your projects in any browser, the whole planning suite), or Team or Business for a group, not a stripped-down student edition. Email us from your school address or send a photo of a current student ID and we'll set you up, usually the same day.

What counts as a student?

Anyone currently enrolled, full- or part-time, anywhere in the world. We keep verification light, a school email address or a current student ID is enough.

Can my whole project group use it?

Yes. Email us, tell us how many people are in the group, and we'll set you up on Team (up to 5 people) or Business (up to 20) at no cost, so the whole group shares one live plan, edits it together, and saves it to the cloud.

Can a professor use it for a whole class?

Yes. Because it's free for every enrolled student, an instructor can put an entire class on EverGantt without a procurement process, and students keep their accounts after the course ends.
