Best for software teams that want projects, wiki and tests together
ONES combines projects, sprints, a wiki and test management for software teams, in the cloud or on-premise, with a free plan for up to 30 seats. Gantt charts and automation need Standard at $98.50 a seat a year, and Enterprise is bought through sales.
Who ONES is for
- Fits if your software team wants tasks, wiki and test cases in one place
- Works for teams moving off Jira and Confluence
Who ONES is not for
- Tight if you pass 30 seats, where the free plan stops
- Pricey if you need Gantt charts or automation rules, which start at Standard at $98.50 a seat a year
- Watch out: Enterprise is bought through a contact-us button even though a price is shown
- Watch out: ONES Desk, the ticketing add-on, costs $42 more per seat a year
- Not for you if you want prices that stay fixed, as they shift with team size

Keep ONES, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace ONES you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $98.50 a year.
What you could make
- Issue tracking, Gantt & timelines, kanban boards and wiki: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. ONES’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.
