ONES vs PingCode (2026): which should you pick?

Pick ONES if

• Fits if your software team wants tasks, wiki and test cases in one place
• Works for teams moving off Jira and Confluence

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you pass 30 seats, where the free plan stops
• Pricey if you need Gantt charts or automation rules, which start at Standard at $98.50 a seat a year
• Watch out: Enterprise is bought through a contact-us button even though a price is shown
• Watch out: ONES Desk, the ticketing add-on, costs $42 more per seat a year
• Not for you if you want prices that stay fixed, as they shift with team size

Pick PingCode if

• Fits if you want separate modules for ideas, projects and testing
• Works for teams of up to 25 who want a free cloud plan

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want one global price, as the yuan prices apply only to mainland China
• Pricey if you need several modules, as each is priced per user per year with a 10-user minimum
• Watch out: prices above 100 users are quoted, and private deployment has no price
• Not for you if you want free self-hosted use, since the free plan is cloud only

ONES

• The Free plan stops at 30 seats; Gantt charts and automation rules need Standard.
• Prices on the page are per seat per year for a 50-seat team and may change with team size; the page says annual billing saves 30% against monthly.
• The Enterprise plan is bought through a contact-us button even though a price is shown.
• ONES Desk, a ticketing add-on, costs an extra $42 per seat per year.

PingCode

• The page says its prices apply only to mainland China; other regions must contact sales, so these yuan figures are not a global list price.
• Business plans are priced per module, per user per year, with a minimum purchase of 10 users; Insight, Flow and Access are further modules at ￥299, ￥299 and ￥99.
• Prices above 100 users are quoted by sales, and Enterprise (private deployment) has no listed price.
• The free plan covers 25 users and is cloud only.
