What is Ganttic?

Ganttic's feed is mostly blog and case studies, with one real shipped update: mobile redesign and view tracking.

Most crawled entries are Ganttic's content-marketing blog and customer case studies, but the feed also carries genuine product updates — the Q1 roundup of the redesigned Planner mobile app, task coloring, a Single Project Gantt View, and an expanded History Log. So the picture is mixed: heavy editorial output around resource scheduling, with occasional real release notes mixed in. Where the product moves, it is sharpening mobile usability and change-tracking transparency.

What is Resource Guru?

Resource Guru is teaching its scheduler to place work for you, not just record where you put it

Resource Guru's feed mixes product updates with marketing articles, and the product half has been consistently substantive. Total Hours bookings let a user commit a number of hours across a date range and have the tool fit them around existing commitments, rather than placing each block by hand. Around that sit a run of view-shaping features — colour-coding bookings by custom field, choosing and reordering Projects columns, a daily digest of unassigned placeholder bookings — plus a Trello integration and an MCP server for querying account data from AI tools.

Ganttic vs Resource Guru: editorial side-by-side

G5.0

Ganttic's feed is mostly blog and case studies, with one real shipped update: mobile redesign and view tracking.

◆ Current state

Most crawled entries are Ganttic's content-marketing blog and customer case studies, but the feed also carries genuine product updates — the Q1 roundup of the redesigned Planner mobile app, task coloring, a Single Project Gantt View, and an expanded History Log. So the picture is mixed: heavy editorial output around resource scheduling, with occasional real release notes mixed in. Where the product moves, it is sharpening mobile usability and change-tracking transparency.

◆ Where it's heading

The observable product thread is incremental polish: better mobile planning, more granular audit/history logging, and clearer views. The blog and case studies (ports, labs, construction) signal a push toward operations-heavy, equipment-and-people scheduling verticals. Expect continued usability and transparency refinements rather than category-redefining moves.

◆ Prediction

The next releases likely continue the mobile and history-log line and lean further into resource-heavy verticals. The blog's AI-resource-management posts hint at AI features, but no shipped AI capability is visible yet.

R7.5

Resource Guru is teaching its scheduler to place work for you, not just record where you put it

◆ Current state

Resource Guru's feed mixes product updates with marketing articles, and the product half has been consistently substantive. Total Hours bookings let a user commit a number of hours across a date range and have the tool fit them around existing commitments, rather than placing each block by hand. Around that sit a run of view-shaping features — colour-coding bookings by custom field, choosing and reordering Projects columns, a daily digest of unassigned placeholder bookings — plus a Trello integration and an MCP server for querying account data from AI tools.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads are running. The scheduler is becoming constraint-aware: the product is moving from a canvas where humans place every block toward one that resolves intent against availability. Separately, the data is being opened up — MCP for natural-language querying, Trello for booking creation from cards — which treats the schedule as something other systems read and write rather than a destination app. The view customisation work is the connective tissue, letting teams shape what they see as the underlying data grows richer.

◆ Prediction

Expect the automatic-fitting logic behind Total Hours to extend to other booking types, since the hard part is the placement engine rather than the entry form. More integrations in the Trello mould look likely given the MCP groundwork already laid.
