Available plans

The hiring of Project Online is made from one of the packages offered by Microsoft, being them Project Online Essential and Project Plan 1, 3 and 5.

Project Plan Essential is intended for access by team members. On the other hand, 3 and 5, although they have many equivalent features, have their differentials.
