A focused, developer-friendly alternative to Monday's spreadsheet-meets-board approach.
Monday.com is a flexible work OS, but for teams that mostly ship code or run tickets, its column-heavy boards and per-seat pricing add complexity and cost without a payoff. Todo4you is built specifically for ticket-driven work - kanban-first, fast, and with the integrations small teams actually rely on.

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. Monday.com 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 Monday.com. 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. Monday.com often defaults to US hosting and only offers EU residency on higher-tier plans, if at all.
Most small teams move from Monday.com 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.
