CostX is NOT​

CostX for macOS is not the macOS version of our WBS app.​

CostX is a new app designed for large scopes, with many more newly developed powerful features.

CostX supports importing WBS files created with our WBS for iPad app. Just drag a WBS file into CostX's welcome window, and CostX will help you convert it into a CostX document.

And our WBS for iPad app will continue to be available as a simple app focused on creating project WBS.

CostX's major focus is on WBS, CBS and PBS​

Although you can use CostX for a broader range of applications, and you may find that in some cases CostX is better than some applications designed specifically for those scenarios, when used in a scenario that goes beyond the primary design goal, CostX is still CostX.
