Taiga vs WeKan

Taiga

• Agile teams running Scrum or Kanban, or moving between the two
• Growing teams on a fixed budget, since hosted plans are flat-rate with unlimited users
• Organizations that want to self-host an open-source tool

WeKan

• Organizations that want a kanban board on their own server
• Teams moving from Trello, Jira or Kanboard with boards to import
• Small teams that want low-cost hosting on servers in the EU

Taiga

• Hosted plans are limited by projects and storage rather than users: Free allows 1 public and 1 private project with 10 MB of storage.
• The largest self-serve hosted plan, Premium, stops at 3 GB of storage. A dedicated instance or on-premise support is quoted by sales.
• Prices are listed in euros only.
• The vendor's site mentions no desktop or mobile apps; Taiga is used in a web browser.

WeKan

• The free hosted app gives Normal User access only; the Admin Panel needs the €50 per year SaaS or a self-hosted server.
• The Android and Windows store apps are full-screen web browsers with no native functions, and iOS users are pointed to a browser.
• Prices are listed in euros only, and paid services are sold business-to-business as final, non-refundable purchases.
• The install page says only the newest release is supported and asks self-hosters to keep at least daily backups.

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.

WeKan

Boards, lists and swimlanes

Cards sit in lists that run across swimlanes, with work-in-progress limits, collapsible lists and multi-selection for moving or recoloring many cards at once.

Board views

Besides the swimlane and list layouts, a board can be shown as a table, a calendar, a Gantt chart or a statistics view.

Detailed cards

Cards carry checklists, subtasks, custom fields, attachments, received, start, due and end dates, card-to-card dependencies and templates.

Rules and webhooks

Rules pair a trigger with an action, board buttons run a rule on demand, and outgoing webhooks can be set globally or per board.

Import and export

Boards can be imported from Trello, Jira, Kanboard, CSV, TSV and Excel files with imported members mapped to real accounts, and exported as JSON, Excel or CSV.

Sign-in and roles

Sign-in works with passwords, LDAP, CAS and OIDC or OAuth2. Each board has nine roles, from admin to read-only, and boards can be limited to an organization or team.
