Project Plan Packaging

Several tiers of Project Plan subscriptions are available for Planner and Project Online, with increasing capabilities and costs at higher tiers. This illustration summarizes the available tiers and the capabilities included with each.

Planner Plan 1 (previously named Project Plan 1) enables creation and sharing of premium plans, with more advanced features requiring Project Plan 3. Premium plans leverage former Project for the Web capabilities, which are now integrated into Planner. Plan 1 also includes team member access to Project Online via a Web interface for updating tasks and basic collaboration.

Project Plan 3 includes all features in Planner Plan 1 and adds more in-depth capabilities for premium plans, including advanced dependencies (Finish-to-Finish, Start-to-Start, and Start-to-Finish), critical path views, a task history, and more. It also adds access to the Project Online hosted project management service and the Project Desktop application. Copilot in Planner, in preview since Apr. 2024, requires at least Project Plan 3 and will have additional costs (not yet announced) once generally available.
