GanttPRO vs NocoBase
A side-by-side editorial comparison of GanttPRO and NocoBase — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
GanttPRO vs NocoBase: at a glance
What is GanttPRO?
GanttPRO ships a quarter's worth of features at a time, filed as blog tutorials.
This feed announces product changes as how-to posts, with the actual feature named after the colon. The two most recent — dashboard export with portfolio invitations, and a rebuilt list view — landed on the same day in August, after a three-month gap since the shared board-view link in May. Behind those sit table reports and an AI Gantt chart maker from March. Cadence is quarterly at best, and the gaps are filled with awards notices and evergreen tutorials.
What is NocoBase?
NocoBase's Runner Agent gets conversation management, task links and agent switching mid-thread.
NocoBase ships two beta trains a day, and the latest center on its agent layer and on demo deployments. Beta 10-28.1 lets users manage Runner Agent conversations with task links, queued messages and usage, and swap agents without losing history; it also adds inline form validation and duplicate-submission protection to app templates. Beta 10-28.2 tightens demo mode so shared demo apps block requests with external effects.

◆ Current state
This feed announces product changes as how-to posts, with the actual feature named after the colon. The two most recent — dashboard export with portfolio invitations, and a rebuilt list view — landed on the same day in August, after a three-month gap since the shared board-view link in May. Behind those sit table reports and an AI Gantt chart maker from March. Cadence is quarterly at best, and the gaps are filled with awards notices and evergreen tutorials.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run through the recent work. One is giving people outside the project a way in: shared private links for board view, invitations to portfolios, dashboard export — each aimed at a stakeholder who needs the picture without a seat in the plan. The other is loosening the product's attachment to the chart it is named after, through the list view, board view and table reports. For a tool that sold one visualisation, methodically shipping all the others is the more consequential of the two.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next release to extend the sharing thread — export or link-based access to the views that do not yet have it — since three of the last four features have been about read-only distribution. The March AI chart maker has drawn no follow-up in the entries here, so whether it becomes a line of work or stays a one-off is not something this feed answers.
NocoBase
8.8PM
NocoBase's Runner Agent gets conversation management, task links and agent switching mid-thread.
◆ Current state
NocoBase ships two beta trains a day, and the latest center on its agent layer and on demo deployments. Beta 10-28.1 lets users manage Runner Agent conversations with task links, queued messages and usage, and swap agents without losing history; it also adds inline form validation and duplicate-submission protection to app templates. Beta 10-28.2 tightens demo mode so shared demo apps block requests with external effects.
◆ Where it's heading
The platform is being rebuilt as an app-template and agent product on a 3.0 server line: agents can develop app-local plugins, run conversations tied to tasks, and operate inside templated apps with release management. Each beta also publishes a cluster of package tags, so the feed is dense but the substance sits in the dated release notes.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Runner Agent and app-template work to keep landing in daily betas until app-server 3.0 leaves beta; a stable 3.0 announcement is the likely next large step.
