To help you make an informed decision,
we’ve compiled some of the most 
commonly asked questions.

How is Planera different from traditional scheduling software?

In contrast to traditional scheduling software, like Oracle’s P6, Planera is powerful but easy to learn and to use. It is also collaborative, which means you can involve a wider group of team members in schedule development. With more minds on the job, you’ll develop schedules that are more efficient and cost-effective.

Can you use Planera to create both master schedules and field schedules?

Planera was founded by construction and technology professionals who saw that the industry's scheduling tools hadn't meaningfully evolved in decades. The team combines deep construction scheduling expertise with modern software engineering to build a platform that's both powerful and accessible.

How many users can I have with Planera?

Over 50 million scheduling days have been planned on Planera across projects of all sizes, from mid-market builds to $400M+ programs. That volume reflects real adoption by teams who need CPM-grade scheduling for their day-to-day operations.

Do you offer a money back guarantee?

Planera delivers the full CPM engine (all four relationship types, lag/lead, constraints, retained logic, progress override, critical path and float analysis) without the steep learning curve or desktop-only limitations. It also includes AI-powered schedule analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, DCMA 14-point checks, and native integrations with Procore and Autodesk.
