Current vs Moovila
An honest, sourced side-by-side of Current and Moovila for MSP project management — where Moovila is stronger, and where Current fits.
| Capability | Current | Moovila |
|---|---|---|
| Gantt / timeline view | Yes — native Native Gantt/timeline boards plus a dependency map (@xyflow/react). | Yes — native Gantt View plus a Portfolio Timeline View; markets Critical Path view as a Gantt alternative. |
| Critical-path analysis | Yes — native engine Real native critical-path engine with client-side cycle detection. | Yes — core engine Dedicated Critical Path Engine with RPAX risk scoring, real-time date forecasting and auto-recasting. Its flagship strength. |
| Task dependencies (FS/SS/etc.) | Yes — dependency-aware Dependency-aware scheduling with a dependency graph and cycle detection. | Yes — multiple types + lag Configurable dependency types with lead/lag time and inter-project dependencies (Business+). |
| Dependency-aware auto-scheduling | Yes — incl. back-scheduling Dependency-aware scheduling and back-scheduling across timeline, dependency map and what-if scenarios. | Yes — auto-recasting Engine recalculates the whole timeline in real time; one-click auto-recasting of downstream dates. |
| Resource management & capacity planning | Availability-driven Availability/PTO-aware scheduling via resource_availability and what-if scenarios; not a multi-year capacity forecaster. | Yes — strong Capacity Conflict Analysis (intra-project and cross-portfolio) and utilization targets by user/role/enterprise. |
| PTO / availability-aware scheduling | Yes PTO/availability-aware scheduling and back-scheduling across timeline, dependency map and scenarios. | Availability + holidays Scans tasks/calendar and honors holiday calendars/hours of operation; a dedicated PTO/leave object is not documented. |
| Kanban board | Yes — native Native drag-and-drop Kanban (@dnd-kit) for tasks. | Yes — native Kanban View included at Pro+; positioned for stand-ups. |
| Milestones | Yes Milestones with scheduling/criticality. | Yes Milestones surfaced in the Critical Path view alongside dates/durations. |
| Portfolio / multi-project view | Yes Portfolio tiles/views across projects. | Yes Portfolio Timeline View, portfolio dashboards, RPAX portfolio analysis, cross-portfolio capacity. |
| Time tracking | Yes Native time entry that flows to your PSA for billing — Autotask, ConnectWise, or Halo PSA. | Yes Rapid-Entry Time Log, Clock In/Out, timesheets; time entry built into MSP work tickets. |
| Billing / PSA integration & source-of-truth | Syncs to PSA or native 'autotask_synced' keeps Autotask as billing source of truth (Current owns scheduling); or fully Current-native. Also integrates ConnectWise and Halo PSA. | Bi-directional PSA sync Native bi-directional connectors to ConnectWise/HaloPSA/Autotask; PSA remains billing system. Connectors gated to higher/Enterprise tier. |
| Client / partner portal (with financial isolation) | Yes — DB-level isolation Partner portal with genuine DB-level financial isolation (RLS + partner-safe views + restrictive policies); partners never see financial data. | Permission-scoped views Customers see 'only work that affects them'; shareable PDFs. No documented finance-isolated partner portal. |
| Templates / playbooks | Yes — PMI playbooks PMI/post-merger playbooks and 24 managed-intelligence playbook templates per tenant. | Yes — + analytics Templates, AI template recommendations, and a Template Analytics module with deviation metrics. |
| Automation / workflow rules | Monitors + notifications Score/monitor engine (run_current_monitor) and notifications; not a general user-built trigger-action rules builder. | Engine-driven only Auto-recasting, alerts and supervised auto-dispatch; no configurable trigger-action rules builder documented. |
| Microsoft 365 integration (SharePoint/Teams/Calendar) | Yes — via Graph SharePoint, Teams and Calendar integration via Microsoft Graph. | Storage/calendar/Teams SharePoint/OneDrive as storage, Outlook calendar, and Teams; deep SharePoint co-management not documented. |
| AI insights | Yes — Anthropic AI insights powered by Anthropic across the platform. | Yes — project AI RPAX autonomous risk scoring, Project Debugger/Remediation Wizard, AI 'project coach' — genuine delivery AI. |
| Modern UI & architecture (recency of rebuild) | 2026 ground-up rebuild Fully rebuilt/renamed Cascade→Current in 2026 on React 19 + Supabase. | Modern, some clutter Founded 2016; GUI often praised but some reviewers describe the layout as cluttered. |
| Setup / onboarding effort | Modern self-serve Modern SaaS with transparent per-seat pricing; low-friction adoption alongside your PSA. | Non-trivial Reviewers note setup can be time-consuming; guided onboarding/CP training gated to higher tiers. |
| Pricing model & public price | Transparent — $50/user/mo Public pricing: $50/user/month or $540/user/year. | Partly public Pro $11/user/mo published; Business and Enterprise are contact-for-pricing; MSP PSA-sync tier not transparently priced. |
| Best-fit user | Modern delivery + partner isolation MSPs wanting purpose-built dependency-aware/critical-path delivery, a financially-isolated partner portal, and billing sync to their PSA — Autotask, ConnectWise, or Halo PSA. | Dependency-heavy delivery MSPs/PMOs delivering structured, repeatable projects who want autonomous critical-path scheduling plus PSA sync. |
Where Moovila wins
The single most mature, purpose-built critical-path engine in the MSP space — a dedicated CPM engine with RPAX autonomous risk scoring, real-time re-forecasting and AI-guided remediation — plus native bi-directional connectors to three PSAs (ConnectWise, HaloPSA, Autotask) and strong review scores.
Where Current fits: Moovila's MSP-grade PSA sync sits in its higher/contact-priced tier (only the $11 Pro plan is publicly priced), it has no financially-isolated partner portal, and reviewers cite time-consuming setup and limited report export. Current pairs a native critical-path engine with a true partner portal, PTO-aware scheduling and transparent per-seat pricing in one platform.
Why MSPs choose Current
- A modern 2026 ground-up rebuild (React 19 + Supabase), not a project module bolted onto a decades-old help-desk or PSA core — so the delivery experience is fast and purpose-built rather than layered onto legacy screens.
- A real, native critical-path engine plus dependency-aware scheduling and back-scheduling — native to the product, not a paid Moovila/TopLeft add-on the way it is for Autotask, ConnectWise and HaloPSA.
- PTO/availability-aware scheduling that runs consistently across the timeline, the dependency map AND what-if scenarios — availability-aware planning most incumbents only partially document.
- Kanban AND Gantt AND an interactive dependency map all native in one tool (Autotask lacks native project Kanban; Syncro lacks project boards entirely).
- A partner portal with genuine database-level financial isolation — Postgres RLS + partner-safe views + restrictive policies — so partners can never see financial data. Incumbent portals (Autotask, ConnectWise, Syncro, Halo) are designed to EXPOSE invoices to clients; Current is the opposite by construction.
- Flexible source-of-truth: 'autotask_synced' keeps Autotask as the billing record while Current owns scheduling, or 'current-native' where Current is the source of truth — plus shipped ConnectWise and Halo PSA integrations and Datto/Addigy/ScalePad connectors.
