VERDICT

Should I use Runn?

Resource management and capacity planning software - runn.io

Depends. Buy it if you run an agency, consultancy, or dev shop that needs real capacity planning across people and projects. Skip it if you are a small team that just tracks tasks — a lighter tool or spreadsheet is enough.

Confidence

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Pricing is per resource, so costs climb as you add staff. Model your seat math first.

Freemium limits are not spelled out publicly — test against your workflow during the trial.

medium

Reviews hint at improvement areas but snippets are truncated — probe support quality before buying.

low

Name confusion: searches mix it with an NPE Runn treadmill sensor and a RUNN ETF.
