Quire review
Bottom line
Quire is a project and task manager built on nested task lists, with Kanban, timeline, and time tracking views layered on top. Its clearest strength is a capable free plan for small teams, which allows unlimited subtask levels per project. The main cost to watch is that timelines, dependencies, time tracking, and charts require the paid Professional plan, which is priced per member. Small teams and freelancers who want to break complex work into steps should consider it first.
What is Quire?
Quire is a web-based project and task management app from Potix Corporation. It is built around a nested task list, so a single task can break into subtasks with no set limit on depth. That structure addresses a common problem with flat checklists, which show a list of work but not how the pieces fit together.
Day to day, a team builds a project by adding tasks and subtasks, then chooses how to view them. The Kanban board moves tasks through statuses such as To-Do, Work in Progress, and Done. A Sublist view narrows a long task list to the items a person needs to focus on. Calendar view lets users drag tasks onto dates to set deadlines. Email to Quire turns messages sent from a mailbox into tasks, and each project includes documents and chat channels for notes and discussion.
Quire suits freelancers, small businesses, mid-size businesses, and enterprises, and the vendor reports more than 51,000 teams across 191 countries. The Free plan covers up to 10 members and 4 projects, with 1,000 tasks per project. The Professional plan costs US$7.65 per member per month billed annually, or US$10.95 billed monthly, and adds timeline, dashboard, time tracking, task dependencies, and charts. External team members count toward the seat total.
What sets Quire apart is its emphasis on hierarchy and client access. Many tools in this category center on flat boards, while Quire centers on the nested list and offers Kanban and Gantt-style timelines as views of the same data. Projects can be shared with clients through a public link that requires no signup, and outside contractors can be given access only to the tasks assigned to them.
