Per-user pricing where one team’s advanced needs can set every user’s tier — and the enterprise price is whatever the quote says. PPM Express is the opposite: one flat published price, unlimited users — and a switch you can undo, on terms your procurement team can verify.
OnePlan is licensed per user, billed annually, with Professional and Enterprise tiers — and its published pricing terms state the two can’t be mixed in one subscription. In practice that means the moment any group needs Enterprise capability, every licensed user rides the Enterprise rate. And that rate isn’t on the website: enterprise pricing is quote-only, so what you pay depends on how well you negotiate.
The result is a familiar enterprise-software squeeze: broad adoption is exactly what makes the platform valuable, and exactly what makes the invoice grow. The better your rollout goes, the more each renewal costs.
*At approximately $30 per user per month, billed annually, as reported for OnePlan’s Professional tier by third-party software directories — before the Enterprise-tier uplift, which is quote-only. OnePlan does not publish enterprise pricing; verify current rates with the vendor.
The break-even is under 70 users. Past that, every person who adopts OnePlan costs you money — and if any team needs the Enterprise tier, everyone’s rate moves. With PPM Express, adoption is free: invite everyone.
OnePlan and PPM Express live in the same neighborhood: both speak Microsoft, both do strategic portfolio management. The difference is the meter. One prices every user; the other publishes one number and lets your whole organization in.
What you’re leaving: per-user tiers where enterprise capability moves every seat’s price.
What you’re switching to: live resource utilization across the whole portfolio — with unlimited users at no extra cost.
PPM Express covers the portfolio layer end to end: executive dashboards and automated status reports, resource capacity planning, what-if scenario funding, AI access from Claude, ChatGPT, or Microsoft Copilot — with native connectors for Planner, Project, Azure DevOps, and Jira, so delivery teams keep working where they work.
The Switch isn’t a leap — it’s a handover. During your Deferred Billing period you run PPM Express and OnePlan side by side at no extra cost, move teams over at your own pace, and retire OnePlan when your contract ends — at any point within 12 months of signing.
And to be clear about what the parallel period is: a handover, not a permanent operating model. PPM Express doesn’t maintain a native OnePlan connector, so running two systems forever would mean maintaining portfolio data in both by hand — when the transition ends, PPM Express becomes the system of record and OnePlan is retired.
These terms are identical for every qualified customer. Your procurement team can verify that no one got a better deal — because no one did.
Within 15 business days of kickoff, your executive portfolio view is live: integrations connected, dashboard populated, first status report generated. We agree the checklist with you at kickoff, so “done” isn’t our opinion — it’s a list. Miss it, and you owe us nothing.
Any time in the first 12 months: pro-rata refund of the unused months, and our engineers export all of your data in open formats, free. Not “here’s a CSV button, good luck” — assisted, complete, usable.
We can make the second promise because migration engineering is what this team did for a decade before building PPM Express. Moving portfolio data between systems is our core competency, in both directions. Vendors who make leaving impossible are telling you something about their product. So are we.
Connect read-only access — we populate a working PPM Express tenant with your actual projects. Evaluate the real thing, not a demo built to impress you.
No negotiation cycle, no procurement marathon — the terms above are the deal. Billing waits for your OnePlan renewal date; access doesn’t.
Fixed-fee implementation against an agreed checklist. Run PPM Express in parallel as long as your deferral lasts — by the time OnePlan calls about renewal, the switch already happened.
The Switch — including Deferred Billing — is for organizations retiring OnePlan: you’re replacing an active contract and committing to end OnePlan use within 12 months of signing. We’ll ask for a redacted renewal notice or invoice showing the vendor and end date; amounts can be blacked out. Starting from scratch with no incumbent? You don’t need the Switch — you need our standard published plans.
Deferred Billing, guarantees, migration and published pricing.
During the transition, yes — the Deferred Billing period exists so you can run both while you move. The Switch terms do assume you retire OnePlan within 12 months of signing: PPM Express doesn’t maintain a native OnePlan connector, so the parallel period is a handover, not a permanent operating model.
Portfolios, projects, tasks, dates, assignments, and financial structure. We map your OnePlan plans to a PPM Express portfolio structure during implementation, and the go-live checklist includes verifying the migrated data with you.
No — that’s the point of switching to another Microsoft-native platform. PPM Express connects Planner, Project for the web, Project Online, Azure DevOps, and Teams, plus Jira and monday.com for teams outside the Microsoft estate. Your delivery tools stay; only the portfolio layer changes.
You sign a 24-month agreement now at today’s locked price, and billing starts on your OnePlan contract end date — up to 12 months out. Between signing and that date you have full product access at no charge, so you can run both systems in parallel and move at your own pace. In return, you commit to retiring OnePlan within those 12 months — that commitment is what unlocks the Switch terms.
You pay nothing — the implementation fee and your first invoice are waived, and we return your data. The checklist is agreed in writing at kickoff, and the clock starts when we receive system access, so both sides know exactly what “day 15” means.
You tell us. We refund the unused months pro-rata and our engineers export your complete data set in open formats, at no cost, with assistance until it’s usable in whatever comes next. It’s in the agreement, not a blog post.
Flat means flat: unlimited users, all core platform capability, integrations included. There is no per-user meter, no tier that everyone must ride because one team needs it, and no quote-only price waiting behind a demo call. Larger enterprises with advanced scope needs are $24–36K — also published, also flat.
The opposite — mid-contract is exactly when Deferred Billing matters. Evaluate now with your real data, sign at locked pricing, and let billing wait for your renewal date. Waiting until renewal quarter is how organizations end up signing another year under deadline pressure.
That’s not a configuration we sell. PPM Express has native connectors for Planner, Project, Azure DevOps, Jira, Smartsheet, and monday.com — OnePlan isn’t one of them, so a permanent two-system setup would mean maintaining portfolio data in both by hand. The parallel period exists to de-risk the handover. And if you conclude OnePlan should stay, that’s what the year-one exit guarantee is for: pro-rata refund, free assisted export, no questions asked.
