The report card
Best for Kanban, Scrum and prioritisation boards
Hygger gives product and project teams Kanban, Scrum, roadmaps and value-versus-effort scoring, and a free plan covers unlimited users. The free plan stops at 50 tasks and 100 MB, and SSO and unlimited API need $14 a user.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Standard is $7 a user a month yearly, inside the $6 to $12.50 band for most tools. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Free plan with unlimited users and boards, but only 50 tasks and 100 MB of storage, which you will hit. |
| Features | C | Kanban, Scrum, prioritisation, roadmaps and time logs. No Gantt or resource planning is on the listing. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and boards and workflows have to be set up. |

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 Hygger you could make: kanban boards, tasks, Gantt & timelines and time tracking. 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: 112 of the 149 other project management tools grade higher. It costs $84 a year.
What you could make
- Kanban boards, tasks, Gantt & timelines 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.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. Hygger’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.
