Redmine alternatives

8 other tools do this job. Which one is right depends on why Redmine is not working for you — so start from the reason, not the list.

Why teams leave Redmine

  • Dated interface that new team members find unpleasant.
  • Plugin quality varies and upgrades frequently break them.
  • You own hosting, backups, security patching and upgrades.

Worth saying: Redmine is genuinely strong at this — no licence cost at any user count. If that is the part you rely on, switching may cost more than it saves.
