Promo Gantt is a Microsoft-certified Power BI visual for teams that plan promotions, campaigns or projects on a timeline.

Promo Gantt is a certified Power BI visual that sits between the free Microsoft Gantt chart and enterprise tools: it adds automatic stacking, fiscal calendars, milestones and planned-vs-actual bars, and Pro handles over 10,000 rows. It has a free tier on AppSource and Pro licensing per country, without the setup cost of enterprise visuals.
No. Pro costs EUR 199 per month or EUR 1,990 per year per country (excl. VAT), for unlimited users and data rows. That makes the cost predictable: it stays the same whether 10 or 500 people view the report, and it does not grow with every new viewer. With more countries the price per country goes down.
Yes. Promo Gantt started in FMCG promotion planning and is also used for project and PMO planning (from version 2.2 with dependencies and a critical path from Microsoft Project), capacity and production planning, maintenance, R&D programmes and content calendars. One licence covers all those reports in a country, so you do not need a separate visual per department.
With Promo Gantt's Ghost Mode (Pro). Last year's promotions appear as semi-transparent bars on this year's timeline, so you see in one view where timing, length or overlap differ. It also works on a fiscal calendar (4-4-5, 4-5-4, 13 periods).
Group the rows in Promo Gantt by customer, then brand (two levels in Pro; Free has one level). Overlapping promotions of the same group go on separate rows automatically and clashes are flagged, so you see per customer which brands run when.
