Taiga

The free and open-source project management tool for agile teams.

Overview

Taiga is built for small-to-mid dev teams who want something more structured than Trello but lighter than Jira. Being open source, teams can self-host it for free and modify it, or pay for Taiga Cloud hosting at low per-month rates. It's popular with teams that specifically want agile ceremonies (sprints, backlogs, burndown) without enterprise-tool bloat.

Key Features

  • Kanban & Scrum Boards: Custom workflows and WIP limits for teams running either methodology.

  • Sprint Planning: Backlog management and burndown charts to track sprint progress.

  • Issue Tracking: Bug and issue tracking with filters to find what matters fast.

  • Performance Dashboards: Team performance dashboards to see how work is trending.

  • Multi-Language Support: Interface available in 20+ languages.

  • Self-Hosting Option: Full source access for teams that want to run it on their own infrastructure.

Pricing

Starting price

€5/mo

  • Gratis (Free): €0/month. 1 public and 1 private project with 10MB storage, good for evaluating the tool.

  • Enthusiast: €5/month (€50/year billed yearly). 5 public and 5 private projects with 100MB storage.

  • Basic: €20/month (€200/year billed yearly). Unlimited projects with 500MB storage.

  • Premium: €60/month (€600/year billed yearly). Unlimited projects with 3GB storage.

  • Private Cloud / On-Premise: Custom pricing, contact sales. Dedicated hosting or self-managed deployment for larger teams and enterprises.

  • Self-Hosted (Community): Free to run on your own infrastructure using the open-source codebase, with only your own hosting costs to cover.

Disclaimer: pricing may change, confirm on Taiga's own pricing page before buying.

Pros

  • Budget-Friendly: Genuinely affordable at every paid tier compared to Jira/Monday-style competitors.

  • Balanced Simplicity: Clean, simple interface that reviewers repeatedly call a "sweet spot" between overly simple (Trello) and overly complex (Jira) tools.

  • True Open Source: Real self-hosting option for teams that want full control.

Cons

  • Thin Reporting: Reporting and analytics are noticeably thin compared to competitors.

  • Limited Integrations: Third-party integrations are limited.

  • Self-Hosted Lag: Performance can lag on larger boards when self-hosting.

  • Setup Overhead: Initial setup and configuration takes real time even though day-to-day use is simple.

What Makes It Unique

  • Open-Source Core: Taiga's open-source, self-hostable core is the real differentiator, most agile PM tools (Jira, Monday, Asana) are cloud-only SaaS, so Taiga is one of the few options letting a dev team run the whole thing on its own infrastructure at no license cost.
