GanttPRO vs NocoBase: at a glance
What is GanttPRO?
GanttPRO ships a quarter's worth of features at a time, filed as blog tutorials.
This feed announces product changes as how-to posts, with the actual feature named after the colon. The two most recent — dashboard export with portfolio invitations, and a rebuilt list view — landed on the same day in August, after a three-month gap since the shared board-view link in May. Behind those sit table reports and an AI Gantt chart maker from March. Cadence is quarterly at best, and the gaps are filled with awards notices and evergreen tutorials.
What is NocoBase?
NocoBase runs two release lines at once while the v3 client rewrite absorbs the AI work
NocoBase is shipping a v3.0.0 alpha train alongside maintenance on the 2.2.0 beta line. The newest alpha adds an online AI documentation assistant that cites verified official docs, DeepSeek V4 Flash and V4 Pro through the Responses API with reasoning continuity, native web search and citations, LDAP user synchronisation for the v2 client, and debounced search in the multi-space switchers. Everything else is the v2 client grind - filter forms, export and import, kanban, approval workflows, map blocks - plus renewable lease support in both the local and Redis lock managers.

◆ Current state
This feed announces product changes as how-to posts, with the actual feature named after the colon. The two most recent — dashboard export with portfolio invitations, and a rebuilt list view — landed on the same day in August, after a three-month gap since the shared board-view link in May. Behind those sit table reports and an AI Gantt chart maker from March. Cadence is quarterly at best, and the gaps are filled with awards notices and evergreen tutorials.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run through the recent work. One is giving people outside the project a way in: shared private links for board view, invitations to portfolios, dashboard export — each aimed at a stakeholder who needs the picture without a seat in the plan. The other is loosening the product's attachment to the chart it is named after, through the list view, board view and table reports. For a tool that sold one visualisation, methodically shipping all the others is the more consequential of the two.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next release to extend the sharing thread — export or link-based access to the views that do not yet have it — since three of the last four features have been about read-only distribution. The March AI chart maker has drawn no follow-up in the entries here, so whether it becomes a line of work or stays a one-off is not something this feed answers.
NocoBase

NocoBase runs two release lines at once while the v3 client rewrite absorbs the AI work
◆ Current state
NocoBase is shipping a v3.0.0 alpha train alongside maintenance on the 2.2.0 beta line. The newest alpha adds an online AI documentation assistant that cites verified official docs, DeepSeek V4 Flash and V4 Pro through the Responses API with reasoning continuity, native web search and citations, LDAP user synchronisation for the v2 client, and debounced search in the multi-space switchers. Everything else is the v2 client grind - filter forms, export and import, kanban, approval workflows, map blocks - plus renewable lease support in both the local and Redis lock managers.
◆ Where it's heading
The alpha line is doing two jobs simultaneously: porting the entire block and action catalogue to the v2 client, and layering AI employees on top of the plugin model that alpha.7 established. The model work has settled into a pattern of adding providers to an existing surface rather than reshaping it - DeepSeek here, skills-as-plugins earlier - which suggests the extensibility question is considered answered and the remaining risk is the client port. Bug volume weighted heavily toward client-v2 confirms where the effort sits.
◆ Prediction
Expect the alphas to keep trading feature additions for v2 client parity until the port closes, with AI work continuing as provider and tooling breadth rather than another structural change.
