Profit.Co

Our Verdict

Profit.co is a valuable project management tool that perhaps works best when combined with the company’s flagship OKR management offering. It can do just fine on its own as a standalone project management software, but its strengths lie in transforming standard task tracking into a strategic asset by linking individual initiatives directly to measurable Key Results. This alignment is supported by a feature-rich toolkit including interactive Gantt charts for timeline visualization, Kanban boards for workflow flexibility, a meeting module for check-ins, and advanced Earned Value Management (EVM) for tracking budget and schedule health.

It’s easy to use for the most part, but it requires initial training and onboarding. For that, the educational materials and support from Profit.co’s teams should be helpful. Prices aren’t fixed and available only upon request, so it’s difficult to assess value for money.
Overall, Profit.co’s project management product is worth the investment, especially for projects that are linked to an organization’s long-term strategy.

Task Management

Profit.co’s task management module lets you organize work through customizable workspaces and visual boards, including the usual Kanban, Gantt, and list views. You can break down large projects into manageable sub-tasks, set priorities, and establish task dependencies to ensure a logical workflow. What’s different from other similar software offerings is the task-to-OKR linking, which ensures that every individual task is tagged to a specific business outcome, which provides managers and employees with clear visibility into how their daily efforts drive the company’s broader strategic goals.

Collaboration & Communication

The platform centralizes all project-related discussions and documents within a single interface. Team members can use @mentions, comments, and hashtags directly on task cards to share updates or resolve issues without switching to email. In addition, Profit.co includes a dedicated Meetings module (as part of its project product) that allows users to schedule 1-on-1s or team reviews, link them to specific project milestones, and automatically capture action items to ensure follow-through after the conversation ends.

Project Tracking & Reporting

For real-time oversight, Profit.co offers comprehensive project management dashboards that provide an instant view of the project’s progress and health. Furthermore, the OKR Cockpit, which tracks company OKRs, can help see the broader goals at play using the PEEL (Plan, Execute, Engage, Learn) approach. While reports can be generated easily, there’s not a very high level of customization offered. Managers can utilize Earned Value Management (EVM) analysis to monitor project health through schedule and cost performance indices. And the reports can also be turned to PDFs to share with leadership or external stakeholders.

Integrations & Add-Ons

Profit.co is designed to fit into existing tech stacks with over 100+ native integrations, including popular tools like Jira, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Salesforce. These integrations allow for “Automated Check-ins,” where progress made in a tool like GitHub or HubSpot automatically updates the corresponding project status or OKR in Profit.co.

Automation & AI

The platform offers “Agentic AI” solutions through assistants like Athena and specialized AI Agents (e.g., PPM Authoring and Progress Agents) to streamline administrative work. These AI tools can instantly generate project plans from a charter, identify resource gaps before they cause delays, and provide fitment scoring for intelligent resource allocation. Automation also impacts routine workflows, such as sending smart reminders for pending check-ins or automatically shifting resources from over-performing objectives to those at risk of falling

Features & Functionality

Profit.co is a cloud-based software, so it can be accessed from anywhere via the web. It also offers apps for Microsoft, Android, and iOS. It provides most of the essential features a project management software should have, but when combined with its OKR tool, its impact can be even better.

Here are the highlight features:

Task-to-OKR Linking

This feature allows users to directly connect individual tasks and projects to specific objectives and key results. That way, every team member can see exactly how their daily activities contribute to the company’s high-level strategy. It also ensures that effort is never wasted on misaligned priorities. This, of course, can only be realized if you have both OKR and project management solutions set up.

Interactive Gantt Charts

Profit.co provides dynamic Gantt charts that allow project managers to visualize timelines, milestones, and task dependencies in a single view. These charts make it easy to identify potential bottlenecks and adjust schedules in real-time to keep complex, multi-phase projects on track.

Customizable Kanban Boards

Teams can organize their workflows using visual Kanban boards that feature drag-and-drop functionality and customizable stages. This allows for flexible task management tailored to specific departmental needs, for example, “In Review” for marketing or “QA” for engineering.

Resource Allocation and Workload Management

The platform includes dedicated dashboards to monitor team capacity and availability. That can be very helpful for managers to balance workloads effectively and manage any time off from employees to ensure projects move smoothly and on time. They can also identify over-allocated employees or resource shortages early. As a result, leaders can redistribute tasks to prevent burnout and ensure consistent project delivery.

Ease of Use

Profit.co is widely considered to be easy to use, with some exceptions. While the platform has a clean, intuitive design for the most part, certain parts can have slight difficulty navigating, especially for a new user. Also, it’s not highly customizable out of the box, and you may need to work with the Profit.co team to realize any specific customizations.

Overall, it’s a user-friendly software, especially with its intuitive dashboard that brings all project-related elements like task management, risk management, time tracking, and performance indicators in one place. Integrations further improve its usability as data can flow from other tools and platforms easily.

It does require some training initially. For that, Profit.co provides extensive support resources, including a built-in AI assistant named Athena to help draft goals, 24/7 live chat, and a comprehensive library of over 400 KPI templates.

Customer Service

Profit.co offers a wide range of support options for both existing and potential customers. Response times typically vary by support mode. They have largely positive feedback on customer support. Additionally, their site features a comprehensive help center with an online library featuring step-by-step product manuals, video tutorials, FAQ, and over 400 KPI templates.
