Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of Easy Redmine you could make: Gantt & timelines, kanban boards and time tracking. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $92.50 a year.
What you could make
- Gantt & timelines, kanban boards and time tracking: 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, GitLab, GitHub and n8n among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Easy Redmine’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.
