Hive

Hive is an AI-powered project management and collaboration platform built for teams that want flexibility across many work styles.

Overview

Hive combines project management, chat, email, notes and forms in one workspace, and its HiveMind AI generates project briefs, task lists, emails and documents on demand. Teams choose from kanban, table, calendar, Gantt and portfolio views, and native time tracking plus resourcing make it usable for services work. Automation recipes handle recurring workflows, and the analytics suite reports on project health and team productivity. Its flexibility makes it popular with agencies and universities alike.

FAQ

Is Hive free to use?

Yes — a free plan supports small teams; AI and advanced management features are paid.

Does Hive offer an API?

Yes — Hive provides APIs, webhooks and a large integration library.

How does Hive compare to alternatives?

Versus Asana or ClickUp, Hive bundles communication and time tracking more tightly; its free-form flexibility is both its strength and its learning curve.

Does Hive replace email?

HiveMail and native messaging cover a lot of internal communication, though most teams keep their existing email setup.

How flexible are the views?

Projects switch between table, kanban, calendar, Gantt and personal views without duplicating data.

What project layouts does Hive support?

Table, kanban, calendar, Gantt and personal action views switch freely over the same project data, so each team sees work the way they think about it.

Does Hive handle resource planning?

Yes — time tracking, capacity planning and resourcing views help managers balance workloads and keep project margins visible across teams.

Does Hive support goals?

Yes — goals link to projects so leadership sees how daily execution rolls up into objectives, and progress updates flow from task completion rather than status meetings.

How is Hive priced?

Plans are per user per month with tiers by features; a free tier supports small teams getting started with the core workspace.
