ProjectSmith vs Proxuma

Plan it. Deliver it. Bill it. All on Autotask.

Proxuma is a planning, reporting and AI layer for MSPs on Autotask. ProjectSmith is where the project work gets done: boards your engineers live in, timesheets your managers approve, capacity you can plan a quarter on, and milestones that reach Autotask billing on time.

Why MSPs pick ProjectSmith

Six things you get on day one, all of them working on your real Autotask projects, people and contracts.

  • Built for Autotask. Only Autotask.

    No PSA picker, no generic connector. Every screen is designed around Autotask projects, tasks, time, contracts and billing.

  • One copy of every project

    It lives in Autotask. ProjectSmith reads it, your team works it, the results go straight back. Nothing to export, nothing to re-key.

  • Time approved before it bills

    Engineers submit the week. A manager approves it. Only then does it land in Autotask, against the right task and role, ready for your billing run.

  • Capacity that counts the service desk

    Ticket time, leave and public holidays all show up on the capacity grid next to project bookings. Plan with the hours people actually have.

  • Milestones ready to bill on time

    Hit the date or finish the task and the milestone is ready to bill on the Autotask contract. Approved costs become project charges. Nothing waits for someone to remember.

  • Safe to trial on live data

    Keep every write fenced to a test project while you evaluate. 14 days, no card, your real projects and people.

Common questions

What is the difference between ProjectSmith and Proxuma?

Both are built for MSPs on Datto Autotask. Proxuma describes itself as a planning, reporting and AI layer. ProjectSmith is end-to-end project delivery: boards and Gantt over Autotask projects, timesheet approval that writes time back, capacity that counts service-desk load, and budgets and fixed-price milestones that reach Autotask billing. Try both on your own data and decide.

Does ProjectSmith replace Autotask Projects?

No. Autotask stays the system of record. ProjectSmith is the layer your team works in, and everything it produces is written back to Autotask.

Can I try ProjectSmith before deciding?

Yes. 14 days on your own Autotask data, no card. Writes stay fenced to a test project until you say otherwise.

How is ProjectSmith priced?

Per seat, monthly, in USD: Member US$20 and Planner US$59 per user per month, minimum US$99/month (1 Planner + 2 Members). You pay for the people who sign in; anyone else from Autotask can still be planned.
