Why switch
Why teams are moving off Jira
Per-seat costs
Jira, Asana and monday.com charge for every user, so the bill goes up with each hire. AI features add metered costs on top.
Setup takes an admin
A basic sprint board in Jira often needs an admin to set up workflows, screens and permissions.
Workflows bent to fit
Your team changes how it plans work to fit the issue types, fields and statuses the tool gives you.
Features behind plan tiers
Time tracking, automation limits and permissions depend on which plan you pay for.
Ownership
You own it. No lock-in.
- You own the code and the data.
- It can run in your cloud, in the region you choose.
- You can take it in-house at any time.

How it works
How we build your project tracker in five days
After launch, we keep updating the project tracker with you under one flat engagement.
Standard org: up to [TODO] projects, [TODO] tasks and [TODO] integrations. Larger orgs are scoped on the call.
Migration
How to migrate from Jira
We export, map, run both tools side by side for a sprint, then switch before your renewal date. Asana and monday.com move the same way.
01
Export your data
We export your projects, issues, comments, users and attachments from Jira through its API and site backup.
02
Map it to the new tracker
We map each field and status to its place in your new tracker, and keep comment authors and dates.
03
Run both tools for a sprint
Both tools run side by side while your team checks task counts and history.
04
Switch before your renewal date
We time the switch to your Jira renewal date, so you do not pay for two tools at once. Tell us the date and we plan the work around it.
