# Project and task management software for companies

> A ready-made task tool is enough if the work is lists and delivery tracking. If you need tasks linked to invoices, payroll or the company system, you are closer to a custom system. At Al-Arjan an internal system with one main workflow starts from $2,000, over 6 to 12 weeks, as on the pricing page.

## When is a ready-made tool enough?

It is enough when the team manages tasks, dates and file comments, and does not need accounting entries from the task itself. The comparison with building in-house is in [ready-made vs custom software](https://www.al-arjan.com/en/blog/custom-vs-ready-software) and [in-house team vs a development firm](https://www.al-arjan.com/en/blog/in-house-vs-agency).

## Ready-made tool prices from their official sources

The figures below are from each tool's official pricing page, checked on 10 November 2026: [Trello](https://trello.com/pricing), [Asana](https://asana.com/pricing), [Jira](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/pricing), [ClickUp](https://clickup.com/pricing), and Al-Arjan's figures from the [pricing page](https://www.al-arjan.com/en/pricing). Prices change; the source is the page itself. Implementation, training and self-hosting, where they apply, are not included in these figures unless the page says so.

## Tasks, time, and links to payroll and invoices

Task management alone does not need a custom system. The need changes when time worked becomes the basis for payroll, or a completed task becomes a line on the client’s invoice, or the same status must appear in the accounts. That link is what [custom software development](https://www.al-arjan.com/en/services/custom-software) builds after the process is described.
