Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if your team is small, since 5 seats start at $105 a month
- Skip it if you want a free plan or a trial, as none is listed
- Watch out: the pages show a 2002 to 2023 copyright and an Internet Explorer notice, so it may not be kept up
- Not for you if you avoid Windows Server and SQL Server, which the installed edition needs
- Tight if you want mobile apps, as none are named
Pick Scrumwise if
- Fits if your team already runs Scrum sprints and wants burndown charts

- Not for you if you want many integrations: only GitHub is named, the rest goes through the API
- Watch out: the monthly plan takes only Visa, MasterCard or American Express

More comparisons
How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
