Small Dev Team PM 2026 | 2 Users Free Full Features

The Small Team Reality You're a small dev team: - 2-10 people - Bootstrapped or early stage - Every dollar counts - Need professional tools - Can't afford enterprise pricing The math doesn't work.

The Pricing Problem Jira: - Standard: $8.15/user/month - Premium: $16/user/month - Team of 5: $41-80/month Monday: - Basic: $9/seat/month - Standard: $12/seat/month - Pro: $19/seat/month - Team of 5: $45-95/month ClickUp: - Unlimited: $7/member/month - Business: $12/member/month - Team of 5: $35-60/month Linear: - $10/user/month - Team of 5: $50/month Asana: - Premium: $13.49/user/month - Business: $30.49/user/month - Team of 5: $67-152/month For a 5-person team: $35-150/month. For a 10-person team: $70-300/month.

Plus: Most 'free' tiers are crippled. The Free Tier Trap Tools advertise 'Free' but: Jira Free: - Limited to 10 users (ok) - Limited storage - Limited features Monday Free: - 2 seats max - 500MB storage - Limited boards ClickUp Free: - 100MB storage - Limited features - Guest access limited Linear: - No free tier - 14-day trial Asana Free: - Limited to 10 users - Basic features only - No timeline, forms, rules You start free, get hooked, then pay.

Or hit limits immediately. What Small Teams Actually Need Not enterprise bloatware.

Not crippled free tiers. Actual needs: 1.

Git integration (you're developers) 2. Sprint/task management (you ship code) 3.

Time tracking (you bill clients or track productivity) 4. Client visibility (someone's paying for this) 5.

Reasonable price (you're not funded) GitScrum: Built for This Pricing structure: - 2 users: FREE forever - Full features on free tier - $8.90/user/month for more users - Clients: Always free (don't count as users) For a 5-person team + 3 clients: - Users paying: 5 - 2 free = 3 paying - Monthly cost: 3 x $8.90 = $26.70 - Clients: Free Compare to Jira 5-person: $41-80/month Compare to Monday 5-person: $45-95/month The Free Tier That Works GitScrum free tier includes: - Git integration (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket) - Sprint management - Time tracking - Client Flow portals - All board views - All features No storage limits. No feature restrictions.

Just a user count limit. 2 people can run a real agency on free tier.

Add a third person? $8.90/month total.

Scaling Economics As you grow: 3 users: $8.90/month (1 paying) 5 users: $26.70/month (3 paying) 10 users: $71.20/month (8 paying) 20 users: $160.20/month (18 paying) With unlimited clients at every tier. Compare 10-person team: - GitScrum: $71.20/month - Jira Premium: $160/month - Monday Pro: $190/month - ClickUp Business: $120/month - Asana Business: $305/month The Features That Matter Small teams don't need: - Enterprise SSO - Advanced permissions matrices - 47 integration options - AI features (mostly marketing) Small teams need: - Git commits on tasks ✓ - Sprint planning ✓ - Time tracking ✓ - Client communication ✓ - Fast, simple interface ✓ GitScrum has what matters.

Skips what doesn't. For Bootstrapped Founders You're building something.

Every dollar goes to: - Infrastructure - Marketing - Living expenses Spending $100+/month on PM tools? That's server costs.

$26.70/month for a 5-person team. Invest the savings in your product.

For Freelancers and Duos 2-person teams: - Completely free - Full features - Unlimited clients Freelancer with rotating clients: - $0/month - Professional client portals - Time tracking for billing - Git integration for code No credit card required. No trial expiration.

Actually free. The Honest Comparison We're not the cheapest at scale.

At 100 users, enterprise tools might be similar or cheaper. We're cheapest for: - Teams under 20 people - Teams with multiple clients - Teams where 2 free users matter - Teams that need full features without enterprise budget

The GitScrum Advantage

One unified platform to eliminate context switching and recover productive hours.

problem.identify()

The Problem

Enterprise pricing - Jira, Monday, Asana charge $8-20/user. Small teams pay hundreds monthly.

Crippled free tiers - Storage limits. Feature restrictions. User caps. Free means limited.

Feature bloat tax - Pay for enterprise features you'll never use. Complexity you don't need.

Per-seat everything - Every team member, every contractor, every stakeholder adds cost.

Clients cost money - Want client visibility? Pay for their seats or use workarounds.

Budget vs capability - Choose between professional tools and staying in budget. Shouldn't be either/or.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Contact us at customer.service@gitscrum.com

What's included in the free tier?

Everything. Git integration (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket). Sprint management. Time tracking. Client portals. All board views. 2 users. No storage limits. No feature restrictions. No trial expiration.

How does pricing work after 2 users?

First 2 users: Free forever. Each additional user: $8.90/month. So 5 users = $26.70/month (3 paying users). 10 users = $71.20/month (8 paying users). Clients never count as users.

Why are clients free?

Clients viewing progress shouldn't cost you money. They use Client Flow portals for visibility and communication. They don't access the full tool. Free makes sense.

How does this compare to Jira/Monday/Asana?

5-person team comparison: Jira Standard: $41/month. Monday Standard: $60/month. Asana Premium: $67/month. GitScrum: $26.70/month. Plus GitScrum includes unlimited free clients.
