Dart
AI-native project management where agents and humans share one task board.
If your team already runs Codex, Claude Code, or Cursor and the results live in scattered terminal windows, Dart is the most direct way to put that work on a shared board. The free Personal plan caps at four teammates, so you can test whether agent orchestration beats your current setup before paying anything; Premium runs $8 per teammate per month and $12 per teammate per month on Business, both at the discounted billed-annually rate shown on the pricing page. The catch: it is still a startup-grade PM tool. Reporting depth, portfolio planning, and resource management sit well behind Asana or Jira, and SAML SSO, SCIM, and customizable dashboards only arrive at the Business tier.

Skip Dart if you need portfolio management or resource planning depth, require on-premises deployment, or have no intention of running AI agents against your actual work.
SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, and granular access management are Business-only, so a security review forces the jump from $8 to $12 per teammate per month billed annually.
Dart sits between cheaper plain PM tools (Trello-class boards at a few dollars a seat, with no agent orchestration) and pricier enterprise PM suites like Jira or Asana, whose useful admin and reporting features often land at higher per-seat prices. At $8 per teammate per month and $12 per teammate per month billed annually, Dart is priced for startups through mid-market teams. A four-person team pays nothing; a 40-person team on Business pays roughly $480 per month billed annually. Enterprises

About Dart
Dart is project management software built around AI agents rather than bolted-on chat. You create agents inside Dart or connect ones your team already runs — Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Manus, OpenClaw, Grok, Hermes, Devin, Nanobot — give each a role and context, then manage them next to your human teammates. Handoffs and results land back on the task, so there is one plan instead of a spreadsheet of agent sessions. The orchestration layer is the part worth understanding: a lead agent takes a goal, breaks it into work, and coordinates specialist agents that research, build, design, or analyze in parallel or in sequence. People set direction and step in when judgment matters. Alongside the agent side sits a normal PM surface: list, board, roadmap, calendar, and workflow layouts, sprint management, time tracking, subtasks, blockers and dependencies, plus task types for epics, issues, stories, bugs, milestones, and clients. AI shows up as subtask generation, natural-language property filling, duplicate detection, AI planning, brainstorming, reporting, and AI chat with real-time web search. A command center adds natural-language and voice controls, the MCP server connects models beyond the named agent integrations, and Dart v7.12 added local agent execution. Available on Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android. Dart says more than 100,000 teams use it. The free Personal plan caps at four teammates.
Behind the Verdict
Dart's bet is that an agent is not another integration — it is a team member with a role. That shows in the product surface. You give Codex a task, Rob the code review agent checks the changes against your team's standards, and Sam reviews the design, with every handoff attached to the same task record. Lead agents break a goal into a plan and coordinate specialist agents; people step in when context or judgment adds value. If you are running five agent sessions in five terminal windows, this is the single most useful thing Dart does. Strengths worth naming: multi-agent orchestration with lead agents delegating to specialists; agent integrations for Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Manus, OpenClaw, Grok, Hermes, Devin, and Nanobot; local agent execution and an Early Access program added in v7.12; AI chat with real-time web search from v7.11; a Model Context Protocol server for models beyond the named list; voice controls from the command center; and desktop apps on Mac, Windows, and Linux plus iOS and Android. The PM surface is genuinely complete for a startup — list, board, roadmap, calendar and workflow layouts, sprint management, time tracking, subtasks and dependencies, task types for epics, issues, stories, bugs, milestones, and clients, plus automated migration. Weaknesses are mostly about depth and ceiling. Reporting is thin unless you pay for Business, where customizable dashboards and charts arrive; SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning are also Business-only, so security-conscious buyers cannot stay on Premium. The free Personal plan stops at four teammates. There is no portfolio management or resource-planning depth, which rules Dart out for larger PMOs. It is cloud-only. And the agent-orchestration value is close to zero for a team that has no interest in running agents on its work — you would be paying for a competent mid-market PM tool and ignoring the reason to pick it. Where it fits: engineering teams that want Codex or Claude Code output on a shared board, ops, marketing and sales teams running research agents like Manus or Grok, and agencies or startups trying to scale output with agents instead of headcount. Where it does not: enterprises needing portfolio depth, organizations that require on-premises deployment, and buyers who need unlimited free seats.

Real-world workflow fit
Concrete scenarios for the personas Dart actually fits — and what changes day-one when you adopt it.
You connect Codex and Claude Code to Dart, assign a bug fix and an implementation task from the board, and add a review agent to check changes against your team's standards before a human sees them.
Outcome: Every agent handoff and result is attached to the task, so sprint review reads from one board instead of five terminal windows — and the discounted Premium rate of $8 per teammate per month billed annually covers the whole team.
You hand a lead agent a campaign goal. It breaks the goal into a plan and coordinates research specialists, running Manus or Grok agents in parallel while you keep direction on the roadmap.
Outcome: Research output lands on tasks with owners and due dates, and AI roadmap planning turns the findings into next quarter's plan without a separate document.
You start on the free Personal plan for the first four seats, build a client project from a template, and use AI-generated changelogs for client reporting.
Outcome: You validate agent orchestration on real client work before upgrading, then move to Premium at $8 per teammate per month billed annually when the fifth seat is needed.
Use Cases
- Hand Codex a bug fix and have the result land on the same task Rob reviews against your team's standards.
- Delegate research, planning, and operational work to Manus or Grok agents from a Dart task.
- Run a sprint with AI subtask generation, duplicate detection, and natural-language property filling.
- Plan a marketing campaign using AI-generated roadmaps and subtasks in one shared workspace.
- Summarize notification needs from customer feedback with a support agent and push the findings to a lead.
- Give a lead agent a product goal and let it coordinate design, build, and review specialists.
- Automate daily standup reports with AI summarization of task progress.
- Streamline client reporting using AI-generated changelogs and meeting notes.
Models Under the Hood
as of 2026-09-27
Limitations
- Cloud-only: there is no self-hosted or on-premises option, so organizations with that requirement are out.
- The free Personal plan caps at four teammates, and advanced admin, reporting, and security capabilities sit behind the Business tier — SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, customizable dashboards with charts and analytics, granular access management, public views, and a dedicated success manager all require $12 per teammate per month billed annually.
- Reporting depth below Business is limited.
- Portfolio management and resource-planning depth are not present at any tier, which rules Dart out for larger PMOs.
- The orchestration value depends on your team actually running agents on its work; without that, you are paying for a competent mid-market PM tool and ignoring the reason to choose it.
- Help center guides exist, but the docs and developer pages were not reachable during this research pass.

Where the pricing makes sense
The company stage and team size where Dart's pricing actually pencils out — and where peers do it cheaper.
Dart sits between cheaper plain PM tools (Trello-class boards at a few dollars a seat, with no agent orchestration) and pricier enterprise PM suites like Jira or Asana, whose useful admin and reporting features often land at higher per-seat prices. At $8 per teammate per month and $12 per teammate per month billed annually, Dart is priced for startups through mid-market teams. A four-person team pays nothing; a 40-person team on Business pays roughly $480 per month billed annually. Enterprises
Setup time & first value
How long it actually takes to get something useful out of Dart — broken out by persona, not the marketing-page minute.
A solo user can sign up on the free Personal plan and have a first agent connected to a task in under an hour, since signup is self-serve and no credit card is required. A team of four to ten should budget half a day: import from your current tool (migration is automated and available on every tier), connect GitHub or Slack, then configure two or three agents with roles and context. Enterprises
Switching to or from Dart
How to bring data in from common predecessors and how to get it back out — written for the switcher, not the buyer.
- →From Asana, Jira, or Monday: Dart's automated migration handles import and export across all tiers, so plan an afternoon to map task types and custom statuses.
- →From Trello or a spreadsheet: rebuild as a board layout, then add task types for epics, issues, stories, and bugs once the basics land.
- →From scattered agent sessions in terminals: connect Codex, Claude Code, or Cursor as agents and assign existing work as tasks so history lands on the board.
- →From Notion: the Notion integration plus automated migration covers documents; roadmap and calendar layouts replace databases you were maintaining by hand.
- ↗To Asana or Jira: export tasks and docs, then rebuild roadmaps there; expect to lose agent task history since other tools treat agents as integrations.
- ↗To Trello or a spreadsheet: export works on every tier, but AI subtask generation, duplicate detection, and agent orchestration do not transfer.
- ↗To Linear: export issues and re-import, then rewire GitHub automations; Linear has no equivalent lead-agent orchestration to carry over.
- ↗To a self-hosted tool: Dart is cloud-only, so an on-premises requirement means a full rebuild elsewhere with no export path beyond task and doc export.
