Scrumwise
Scrum and Kanban project tool with backlogs, sprints and burndowns
Taiga
Open-source agile project management with Scrum and Kanban
Which one is for you
Pick Scrumwise if
- Fits if your team already runs Scrum sprints and wants burndown charts
- Works for a small team that wants Scrum without extra modules
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as it has none after the 30-day trial
- Skip it if you need phone or desktop apps, as the pages list none
- 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
Pick Taiga if
- Fits if you're an agile team running Scrum or Kanban, or moving between the two
- Makes sense if you want to self-host an open-source tool, or pay one flat fee however many users join
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free, with 1 public and 1 private project and 10 MB of storage
- Skip it if you want a phone or desktop app, because Taiga runs only in the browser
- Not for you if you bill by the hour or plan on a Gantt chart, as neither time tracking nor a Gantt view is listed
- Watch out: storage stops at 100 MB on €5, 500 MB on €20 and 3 GB on €60, and anything bigger is a sales quote
- Watch out: self-hosting means running Docker, and prices are listed in euros only
How we grade them
| 2.2GPAScrumwiseFair | 2.8GPATaigaGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C$7.50 a user a month billed yearly, $9 monthly, which sits between the cheaper quarter's $6 and the dearer quarter's $12.50. | AEnthusiast is €5 a month for the whole team, not per user, and unlimited projects is €20 flat. Split across even three people that's well under $3.06, which is 60% of the cheapest quarter here. Storage is the squeeze: 100 MB, then 500 MB. |
| Free plan and trial | C30-day trial for teams of any size, started without sign-up. No free plan, so after a month every plan is paid. | BA free plan one small team could live on, two ways. The hosted tier takes unlimited users but only 1 public and 1 private project with 10 MB of storage, and the open-source software itself is free to run on your own server. |
| Features | BBacklogs, sprints, releases, task boards, burndown charts, time tracking and an API. Nothing in the listing is missing from the Scrum job. | CIt covers agile work and stops there: Kanban with swimlanes, WIP limits, epics and sub-tasks, Scrum with a backlog, estimates per role and burndown charts, issue tracking, a wiki and dashboards. What the listing doesn't show is time tracking or a Gantt chart, both ordinary elsewhere here. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You need to know Scrum terms and set up backlogs and sprints. | CNo store rating on record, and the work is yours: a backlog to fill, workflows and issue types to shape before the boards mean anything. The hosted service at least spares you a server, and a project can start as Kanban and turn into Scrum later. Self-hosting means Docker. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only. GitHub is the only integration named, and anything else goes through the API. | BWeb with integrations: a public REST API, outgoing webhooks, built-in Slack, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Gogs, and a Zapier connector. The vendor's site mentions no desktop or mobile app, so the browser is all there is. |
| Best for | small Scrum and Kanban teams | agile teams who want Scrum and Kanban at a flat price |

Key features
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.
Taiga
- Kanban boards
- Boards support multiple workflows with swimlanes, WIP limits, epics and sub-tasks, plus filters, search and an archive for finished user stories.
- Scrum backlog and sprints
- Backlog and sprint planning with epics, estimations that can be set per role, a sprint task board, and burndown charts at project and sprint level.
- Issue tracking
- Issue types, priorities and severities are customizable. An issue can be added to a sprint or promoted to a user story.
- Dashboards, wiki and reports
- A team performance dashboard, project timeline, personal dashboard and wiki are included, and project data can be exported as CSV for custom reports.
- Self-hosting
- The open-source software can be installed with Docker, the recommended route, or from source code. Projects can be exported and imported between instances.
- API, webhooks and integrations
- A public REST API and outgoing webhooks are available, with built-in integrations for Slack, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Gogs, and a Zapier connector.

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.
