Microsoft Planner requires an eligible Office 365 work or school subscription. This app does not support Office 365 personal accounts (for example: name@outlook.com or name@hotmail.com). If you are not sure about your company’s subscription or the services you have access to, please contact your IT department. Planner provides a simple, visual way to organize teamwork. Planner makes it easy for your team to create new plans, organize and assign tasks, share files, chat about what you’re working on, and get updates on progress. -- Organize work visually -- Each plan has its own board, where you can organize tasks into buckets. You can categorize tasks based on their status or on whom they’re assigned to. To update the status or change assignments, just drag and drop tasks between columns. -- Visibility -- The My Tasks view provides a comprehensive list of all your tasks and their status across all your plans. When working together on a plan, team members always know who is working on what. -- Collaborate -- Built for Office 365, Planner lets you work together on the same tasks, attach captured photos directly to them, and even have conversations around tasks without switching between apps. With Planner, all your team’s discussions and deliverables stay with the plan and don’t get locked away across disparate applications. -- Works across devices -- Planner works across all your devices. And with Planner, everyone is always on the same page. Continue conversations and updates tasks while on-the-go or at your desk.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Microsoft Planner at 4.6 against ProProfs Project's 4.0. Microsoft Planner also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months). ProProfs Project's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 28%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Microsoft Planner holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microsoft Planner has 13K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of ProProfs Project's written reviews are positive against 28% of Microsoft Planner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ProProfs Project ships an update every 5 months, Microsoft Planner every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
