Retain Cloud vs. Rocketlane

The Only Platform Built to Unify Resource Planning for Professional Services — Now with AI and Enhanced Skills Taxonomy Established in 1992, Retain is the world’s first platform built to give professional services firms and complex, multi-entity organisations one place to plan, schedule, and forecast across every department. No more spreadsheets. No more disconnected tools. Just a single, intuitive system that brings clarity and control to resourcing. With AI-powered insights, a governed skills taxonomy, and behavioural profiling, Retain goes beyond availability.

Rocketlane is the only execution platform for professional services. For decades, PSA tools tracked the work — status, resources, financials — but never executed on it. Rocketlane, with Nitro,Rocketlane’s native AI capabilities, runs the actual work: from kickoff, plan generation, QBR, status, and customer onboarding, on the same platform the team already tracks against. Operations, delivery, and the work itself live on one engagement record, on the same data the human manages. Rocketlant works with service leaders to define your successes and provide desired outcomes.
