What Free includes
Free is a real plan, not a demo. Core job tools stay available after any complimentary trial.
- 1 workspace you own and up to 3 active projects
- Up to 3 Free seats and 3 Guest seats per workspace
- Schedule, documents & photos, daily logs, punch items, financials, invoices, change log, risks, and lessons learned
- 1 project PDF export and 1 saved version per project
- 10 MB file storage
- Complimentary 7-day Pro trial — no credit card
Who it is for
Choose ProtoPM Free if you run a small crew or manage a handful of jobs and want one place for schedule, site notes, costs, and changes — without an enterprise rollout or a sales call.
- Small contractors, trades, and independent PMs
- Teams that want title-only project creation and plain-language tabs
- Anyone who needs a permanent $0 plan with no credit card
Who should look elsewhere
Enterprise portfolios that need hundreds of seats, deep ERP integrations, or heavy module marketplaces will outgrow Free quickly. ProtoPM Pro raises project and export limits at a flat price, but it is still aimed at growing small teams — not replacing a full enterprise suite.
How to start
Create a free account at signup, confirm your email, then create a project with only a title. Free invoice and status-report PDF widgets at /tools work with no account for the first download. When you outgrow Free, Pro is one flat price ($19.99 CAD/mo/user, cancel anytime) with no per-module add-ons.
