Built for engineering teams that need fewer dropdowns and faster boards.
Jira is the default for large engineering organizations, but its complexity, slow boards, and steep learning curve are often overkill for freelancers and small teams. Todo4you keeps the parts that matter - tickets, statuses, integrations, time tracking - and removes the bureaucracy.

Stick with Jira if you need scrum ceremonies at scale, advanced permission schemes across hundreds of projects, or deep ITSM workflows. Todo4you is intentionally lighter than that.
Yes for most small teams. Todo4you is one flat €9.99/month plan that includes 3 users, with packs of 5 extra users for €7.50/month per pack. Jira typically charges per seat with multiple plan tiers and paid add-ons for time tracking, automations or AI - costs that add up quickly past 3-5 users.
Yes. Todo4you has built-in importers for Jira, Trello, Asana, Pivotal Tracker, Zoho Projects, Zendesk and a generic CSV importer that covers most other tools, including Jira. The import preserves stories, statuses, owners, labels, comments and timestamps, and runs in under a minute for projects of a few thousand items.
Yes, both are included in the standard €9.99 plan with no add-ons. Time tracking has start/stop/pause timers, manual entries and per-user breakdowns. AI features include email-to-ticket (drop in an .eml and get a structured ticket), ticket summarization, translation and standup digests.
Todo4you hosts all data in Germany (EU) and is GDPR-compliant by default - not as a paid Enterprise upgrade. Jira often defaults to US hosting and only offers EU residency on higher-tier plans, if at all.
Most small teams move from Jira to Todo4you in an afternoon. Export from your current tool, run the importer, map your statuses, and your team can keep working on the same tickets the next morning. The 15-day free trial gives you time to migrate without committing.
No credit card required. Import your existing boards and tickets in minutes - we have a dedicated importer for most major tools.
