What it does
Hive is a work management platform that combines projects, actions, collaboration, time management, and automation. Projects can be viewed as lists, status boards, team, calendar, Gantt, timeline, table, and other layouts, with shared updates across views.
Plan projects with actions and choose a layout suited to execution, workload, deadlines, or dependencies. Hive provides a free-forever tier for small teams and paid tiers that add project views such as Gantt, more members, storage, automations, time tracking, and portfolio features. See the Hive product page, pricing, and project layout documentation.
Strengths
- Multiple project layouts let teams view shared work in different ways.
- Free plan is available for small teams; paid plans add advanced views and controls.

- Teams needing project views and collaboration in one workspace
- Organizations standardizing project templates and automating routine handoffs
