Frequently Asked Questions

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

Is GitScrum really cheaper than Jira?

For basic project tracking, Jira Standard is slightly cheaper ($8.15 vs $9/user). But once you need roadmaps or time tracking, Jira costs more. Jira Premium for roadmaps is $15.25/user. Tempo for time tracking adds $5-10/user. GitScrum Pro at $9 includes everything.

What about Jira's free tier being more generous?

Jira Free allows 10 users vs GitScrum's 3. True. But Jira Free lacks features many teams need—then you're paying. For teams that will pay anyway, GitScrum Pro's all-inclusive pricing wins on total value.

Are there any hidden costs with GitScrum?

No. Pro tier includes all features. No marketplace. No add-ons. No premium upgrade for specific features. Enterprise adds SSO and SLA—that's the only upgrade. Most teams are well-served by Pro.
