Built for Autotask. Not adapted to it.
TopLeft is a visual project management tool for MSPs on ConnectWise, Autotask and HaloPSA. ProjectSmith does one PSA, Datto Autotask, and goes deeper on it: boards and Gantt on your real projects, time approved before it bills, capacity that counts the service desk, and fixed-price milestones ready to invoice 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 TopLeft?
TopLeft is visual project management for MSPs across several PSAs. ProjectSmith is built for Datto Autotask only: Autotask stays the system of record, approved time is written back automatically, capacity counts service-desk load and fixed-price milestones reach Autotask billing on time. Try both on your own data and decide.
Does ProjectSmith work with ConnectWise or HaloPSA?
No. ProjectSmith is built for Datto Autotask and nothing else, which is why every feature fits Autotask projects, time, contracts and billing without a mapping exercise.
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.
