Key features
Hygger

- Value and effort prioritization
- Ideas, features, tasks or projects can be scored on value against effort, sorted on an Eisenhower matrix, or ranked with custom scoring frameworks.

Scrumwise
- Backlog management
- Backlogs are organized with lists, tags and filters. Epics give a high-level view, and subtasks and checklists break items into smaller pieces.
- Sprints and releases
- Sprint planning shows which team is over-allocated and handles vacations, partial allocations and weekend work. Release dates are predicted from expected velocity and burnup.
- Task boards and Kanban
- Boards update in real time with one row per backlog item. Separate Kanban boards cover work without sprints, and Scrum and Kanban can be mixed.
- Burndown charts
- Progress charts account for vacations and weekend work, whichever time zone a team is in.
- Time tracking
- Time logs per person, sprint, team and calendar period, exportable to CSV or pasted into a spreadsheet.
- API and GitHub link
- An API reads and changes data for one-way or two-way syncing, and a GitHub integration lets commit messages reference Scrumwise items.

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.
