Productive

Project Management Paid

Productive starts from a question most generic PM tools don't ask: is this project actually profitable, not just on schedule. Built specifically for agencies, it combines project tracking with resource planning, budget tracking, and revenue forecasting, so managers can track schedule progress and profitability from the same dashboard rather than switching tools. Resource planning helps allocate people across concurrent client projects, while budget tracking keeps costs visible as work progresses rather than surfacing problems at invoicing time. It runs on web, desktop, and mobile, and connects to Slack, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365 for day-to-day communication. For small and mid-size agencies watching margins as closely as deadlines, that focus is the whole appeal.
