Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for Git or SVN hosting with ticketing on the side
Assembla hosts Git and SVN code with code review and tickets. But Starter at $12.50 is code hosting only, project management starts at Growth at $19, and there is no free plan.
Who Assembla is for
- Fits if you still keep code in SVN and want tickets beside it
- Works for teams that want code hosting in several regions
Who Assembla is not for
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as only a 14-day trial exists
- Not for you if you want project management on Starter, as it begins at Growth
- Pricey if you need Perforce Cloud, which starts at $52.20 a user a month yearly
- Watch out: extra storage and 24x5 support are add-ons below Custom Cloud
Why Assembla gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyStarter is $12.50 a user a month on yearly billing, but project management needs Growth at $19, past the $15.95 where the dearer quarter starts.
- CFree plan and trialA 14-day trial with no card is the only free part. There is no free plan.
- CFeaturesGit and SVN hosting, code review, tickets, sprints, time tracking and wikis. Project management is not in Starter.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. Repositories, permissions and integrations have to be set up.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with Slack, Jira, GitHub, Travis CI, Zapier and TestRail links.

Keep Assembla, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Assembla you could make: issue tracking, time tracking and wiki. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 80 of the 149 other project management tools grade higher. It costs $150 a year.
What you could make
- Issue tracking, time tracking and wiki: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Slack, Jira and GitHub among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Assembla’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
