The job, without the hire.
A project manager writes down who owns what, chases it, and checks it landed. Pondros does that across every project you have, for about two percent of the salary.

Same job. Different arithmetic.
What you are actually choosing between.
The arithmetic is not close.
One project manager
$95,000
A year, fully loaded. They cover the three or four projects one person can reasonably hold, in their own working hours.
Pondros, same team
$2,520
A year, at the monthly rate, for a twenty person team where fourteen people actually use it. Every project, not four.
Assumptions, stated: $95,000 is a mid-market fully loaded salary, not a quote. $2,520 is 14 active members at the published $15 monthly rate for twelve months; the annual rate is lower and we have not used it here. Your own numbers are the ones that matter, so the calculator on the home page runs them.
When hiring is still the better call.
There are four of these and we would rather you read them before you buy than after.
The plan itself is the hard part
Sequencing a programme, working out what blocks what, deciding what gets cut when the date moves. Pondros tracks whether the plan happened. It does not tell you the plan is wrong.
Somebody has to be in the room
Negotiating scope with a client, absorbing a difficult conversation, owning the relationship when a deadline slips. That is a person's job and it should stay one.
Resourcing is the real decision
Who works on what, and who is quietly overloaded. Pondros will show you who is dropping things; it will not make the call about why.
You have no meetings and no Slack
Almost everything Pondros knows, it learns from calls and from Slack. A team that works another way gets much less out of it, and we would rather say so now.
Questions
Is this meant to replace our project manager?
No. If you have a good one, Pondros takes the administrative half of their week off them: writing down who owns what, chasing it, and checking it landed. Most teams that adopt it never had a project manager in the first place, and the job was being absorbed by a founder or a delivery lead at 11pm.
Do we have to move off Asana, Jira or ClickUp?
No, and you should not. Pondros is not a place to keep tasks. It works the board you already have, pushing what it captures into your existing tool, and it deliberately does not build recurring tasks, dependencies, templates or time tracking.
What does it actually do at 08:55?
Every weekday morning, before anyone gets nudged, it goes looking for evidence that each task due that day was done: an email that went out, a task closed in ClickUp or Asana, a meeting that actually happened. It records what it found, with the receipt, so the follow-up you get is informed rather than a blind reminder.
How is it priced?
One workspace invoice, sized by the people who actually used Pondros in the last 28 days. Nobody assigns seats, and a teammate who never opens it is never billed. Full detail is on the pricing page.
