Mindcat Projects vs. SmartTask Comparison Chart

You pay per member per month. The price drops as your team grows: each band’s price applies only to the members inside that band. A member is anyone with a login who creates or edits tasks, logs time or runs meetings, so project managers, planners, site engineers, QS and admins count. Clients, consultants and anyone with read-only access are free.

Band: AED | SAR | USD per month
1 to 10: 179 | 179 | 48.74
11 to 30: 69 | 69 | 18.79
31 to 100: 45 | 45 | 12.25
101 and up: 29 | 29 | 7.90
Worked example. A fit-out contractor with 30 members comes to 10 × 179 + 20 × 69 = AED 3,170, so it pays the monthly minimum of AED 5,349 a month (SAR 5,349, or USD 1,456.50). The minimum covers up to 78 members. With 100 members it is AED 6,320 (USD 1,720.90). With 250 it is AED 10,670 (USD 2,905.38). Your clients’ and consultants’ read-only logins add nothing.

How you run it changes the multiplier.

Shared servers, hosted by us in the UAE, up to 10 members: The member price above. Your own separate copy and database on servers we share between clients, because one install can’t keep two companies apart | AED/SAR 2,499 (USD 680.46)
Your own copy, hosted by us in the UAE or Saudi Arabia: The member price above | AED/SAR 5,349 (USD 1,456.50)
In your own cloud or servers, run by us: Member price × 1.25, and you pay your cloud bill directly | AED/SAR 6,199 (USD 1,687.95)
Two ways to start. Up to 10 members on the shared plan, we set you up on a fixed quick-start package, with no scoping call. The shared plan stops at 10. From 11 members, and at any size on your own copy or your own cloud, we set it up with you.

Quick start (we set it up): The shared plan, 1 to 10 members | AED/SAR 2,500 (USD 680.74), fixed | Your own copy on our UAE servers, your live jobs and members imported from our CSV template, our fit-out programme template with approval stages, the UAE or Saudi working week and public holidays, read-only logins for your clients, recorded training and guides in Arabic and English, and ticket support. No call and no on-site visit. The go-live date is counted from the day your CSV arrives. We send the payment link within 24 hours.
Managed: Your own copy or your own cloud, at any size | Up to 10 members: AED/SAR 4,900 (USD 1,334.24). 11 to 30: AED/SAR 9,900 (USD 2,695.71). 31 to 100: AED/SAR 19,900 (USD 5,418.65). Above 100: from AED/SAR 39,900 (USD 10,864.53), scoped in writing. | One working session with your operations lead, then setup to a written plan. It covers your live jobs and their programmes loaded from Excel or an MS Project or Primavera export, statuses for your approval stages, your working week and public holidays, logins for your team, read-only logins for your clients, your branding, the Arabic wording your team sees most, and training in Arabic and English.
