Scrumwise is a browser-based agile tool built around Scrum: product backlogs, sprints, releases and task boards, with Kanban boards for work that does not need sprints. It also tracks time against work items. The company is based in Denmark and says it has run the product since 2009. - **Category:** Project Management - **Made by:** Scrumwise (since 2009) - **Website:** https://www.scrumwise.com - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want a free plan, as it has none after the 30-day trial. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 12, 2026 ## Pricing As of Nov 12, 2026, Scrumwise is a paid product with a free trial, starting at $7.50 per user / month, billed annually ($9 billed monthly). - **Pricing model:** Free trial - **Free plan:** None. - **Free trial:** 30-day free trial for teams of any size; the "Try Now" button creates an account without signup. | Plan | Price | What you get | | --- | --- | --- | | Yearly Plan | $7.50 per user / month, billed annually ($9 billed monthly) | Billed up front at $90 per user per year for a chosen number of users, by card or bank transfer. | | Monthly Plan | $9 per user / month, billed monthly | Billed each month for the users in the account, by Visa, MasterCard or American Express. | Read from https://www.scrumwise.com/pricing.html on Nov 12, 2026. Prices change, so confirm with Scrumwise before buying. ## Ways to pay less - **Yearly plan at $7.50 per user per month** (Annual discount): The yearly plan is $90 per user per year, against $9 per user per month on the monthly plan. Source: https://www.scrumwise.com/pricing.html ## Key features - **Backlog management:** Backlogs are organized with lists, tags and filters. Epics give a high-level view, and subtasks and checklists break items into smaller pieces. - **Sprints and releases:** Sprint planning shows which team is over-allocated and handles vacations, partial allocations and weekend work. Release dates are predicted from expected velocity and burnup. - **Task boards and Kanban:** Boards update in real time with one row per backlog item. Separate Kanban boards cover work without sprints, and Scrum and Kanban can be mixed. - **Burndown charts:** Progress charts account for vacations and weekend work, whichever time zone a team is in. - **Time tracking:** Time logs per person, sprint, team and calendar period, exportable to CSV or pasted into a spreadsheet. - **API and GitHub link:** An API reads and changes data for one-way or two-way syncing, and a GitHub integration lets commit messages reference Scrumwise items. ## Good for - Software teams running Scrum with sprints, backlogs and burndown charts - Teams that also need a Kanban board without leaving the tool - Small teams that want one flat per-user price ## Worth knowing - There is no free plan; after the 30-day trial both plans are paid. - The pages describe a browser app and mention no desktop or mobile apps. - Only one integration, GitHub, is named on the features page; anything else goes through the API. - The monthly plan accepts only Visa, MasterCard or American Express. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. Scrumwise is a browser tool for backlogs, sprints, releases, burndown charts and Kanban boards, at $7.50 a user a month billed yearly. It does that job without extras, but there is no free plan, only one integration is named, and its pages list no phone or desktop apps. - **Value for money: C.** $7.50 a user a month billed yearly, $9 monthly, which sits between the cheaper quarter's $6 and the dearer quarter's $12.50. - **Free plan and trial: C.** 30-day trial for teams of any size, started without sign-up. No free plan, so after a month every plan is paid. - **Features: B.** Backlogs, sprints, releases, task boards, burndown charts, time tracking and an API. Nothing in the listing is missing from the Scrum job. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You need to know Scrum terms and set up backlogs and sprints. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only. GitHub is the only integration named, and anything else goes through the API.

What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 66 of the 111 other project management tools grade higher. It costs $90 a year. - You could make: Kanban boards, tasks and time tracking: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Several people working in it at the same moment. - You could not: It plugs into other products, GitHub among them, and has an API. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## Works with GitHub **Tags:** Kanban boards, Tasks, Time tracking, Public API, Real-time collaboration, Keyboard-first ## Alternatives - [Zenhub](https://toolgpa.com/tools/zenhub): Agile project management built on top of GitHub issues.
