Holberton School isn't in the same category
Holberton is a project-based software engineering school, not a piece of software. It was grouped here alphabetically alongside Hygger and TeamGantt, but it answers a completely different question — 'how do I learn to code' rather than 'how do I manage a project.'
Holberton School
The real choice is Hygger vs TeamGantt
Hygger organizes work around Kanban and Scrum boards with prioritization frameworks for deciding what to build next. TeamGantt organizes work around a visual timeline with task dependencies for deciding when things happen. Pick based on whether your team's bottleneck is prioritization or scheduling.
Hygger, teamgantt
Pricing structures aren't comparable across all three
Hygger and TeamGantt are both SaaS products with published self-serve pricing — Hygger free with paid plans from $7/user/month, TeamGantt starting around $10 with a free plan and 14-day premium trial. Holberton is tuition-based and priced on a 'contact for pricing' basis, an entirely different cost structure since it's an education program, not a subscription.

No. Holberton School is a project-based software engineering school and alternative to college, training full-stack engineers through an intensive, peer-learning program across multiple continents. It has nothing to do with managing projects as software — it teaches people how to become engineers.
Not directly — they answer different questions entirely. Holberton is for someone deciding how to learn software engineering; Hygger and TeamGantt are for a team deciding how to plan and track project work. If you're evaluating project management software, focus on Hygger vs TeamGantt.
Hygger, since it's built around Kanban and Scrum boards with prioritization frameworks specifically for software and product teams. TeamGantt is oriented toward schedule-driven planning with Gantt charts rather than agile sprint work.
TeamGantt, since its entire product is built around interactive Gantt charts, dependency mapping, and progress tracking against a schedule — a use case Hygger's description doesn't cover.
Both offer a free plan. Hygger's paid tier starts around $7/user/month billed annually, while TeamGantt's paid plan starts around $10, plus a 14-day premium trial. The cheaper option depends on team size and billing terms, but Hygger's published per-user entry price is lower.
It's an intensive, project-based alternative to a college computer science degree that trains full-stack software engineers through peer learning, with campuses spanning the Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
