Hi, I would like HubSpot to consider making their Project functionality available on the Starter plan rather than just on higher plans. Small businesses like my own that does not have the budget for the higher plans also has projects that they need to manage and your competitors such as Copper and Pipedrive are now offering project management functionality at equivalent or cheaper price points to HubSpot Starter. I may have to look elsewhere for an all in one tool which is not ideal as HubSpot is perfect for most of my needs but I do need to have project management functionality within my CRM. Matt ---

@MattGLS25 that’s great feedback for the HubSpot team, Matt. Have you also posted this in [the ideas forum](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/idb-p/HubSpot_Ideas)? The product team does monitor those and considers requests, especially popular ones. I’d upvote that one for sure! ---

Hi all, I don’t believe this vote has affected a change as yet. Has anyone trialled using other apps integrated with Hubspot for projects, such as click-up? Thanks! ---

Hi @MattGLS25, Good news, there’s a public beta for a new projects object under Settings → Product updates → All → Project Object with Gantt Chart View: > * * * > > ### Project Object with Gantt Chart View > > ### **What is it?** > > You can now manage projects using a new Project object and visualize them with a Gantt chart view, giving you the ability to execute structured project management directly in HubSpot’s Smart CRM. The Gantt chart view provides a visual timeline of your records and associated tasks, helping you see how work is progressing over time. You can also use table view and board view. > > ### **Why does it matter?** > > Teams managing cross-functional work often struggle with visibility into project timelines and task dependencies. Previously, managing projects in HubSpot required adapting existing tools, leading to scattered information and misalignment.

Hey @MattGLS25! From my understanding, the old Projects tool has been deprecated, and HubSpot has rolled out a brand new Projects object. This now lives inside the Smart CRM as a core object, so it’s much more accessible for smaller teams. Here’s what you get with the new Projects object today: - **Project records** with start dates, due dates, durations, owners, and custom properties. - **Pipelines and kanban view** so you can organize projects just like you would with deals or tickets. - **Built-in pipeline tags** like _Overdue_ and _Due soon._ - **Gantt chart view** so you can actually visualize timelines (this one has people really excited). - **Calendar view** so you can plan work by due dates. - **Workflow automation** to spin up projects automatically (e.g. when a deal is marked closed-won). HubSpot has also listed a set of “in development” features for Projects, including: - Subtasks - Task dependencies - Project templates - Task cards These are expected to roll out fairly quickly since the object itself just launched at INBOUND 2025. For small businesses, this should be a big improvement because you now have a native way to track and manage projects directly in HubSpot. It’s not a full replacement for something like Asana or ClickUp if you need deep project management (at least not yet), but it’s a strong step in that direction. If you want a full walkthrough with examples and screenshots, I put together a guide here: 👉 [Everything you need to know about HubSpot’s new Projects object for project management (2025)](https://arrows.to/resources/everything-you-need-to-know-about-hubspots-new-projects-object-for-project-management-2025) [![](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/f/a/fa71d9f6ab48a09fb3f8c73f4e3926518fd86ad0.jpeg "HubSpot's new Projects object: Is HubSpot about to take over the project management space?") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QkYMdDxLwc)
