The Jira alternative for small dev teams.
Boards, sprints, a roadmap and releases, with error tracking, time tracking and status pages in the same product instead of in separate apps. One price per team.
devbord or Jira?
Choose devbord if
- you are a small team and want to get going quickly
- you want errors, hours and a status page in one product, not in separate apps
- you want to pay per team, not per user
Stay with Jira if
- you need workflows with their own statuses, screens and permissions per project
- you have hundreds of people and teams on one system
- you rely on Confluence, Bitbucket and the Atlassian marketplace

How to start.
- Create a project: Look at it as a board, a list or a sprint.
- Connect your repository: GitHub, GitLab, Forgejo or Gitea: branches and pull requests show up on the card.
- Import your issues: Export a CSV from Jira and import it: statuses become lists, sub-tasks a checklist, epics a label, and SHOP-12 becomes card 12.
Frequently asked questions
Can I import my work from Jira?
Yes. Export your issues as CSV (all fields) and import the file: statuses become lists, sub-tasks a checklist, epics a label, story points a field, and comments and numbers come along. Sprints and custom workflows do not come along.
Does devbord have sprints?
Yes. There is a sprint view, and the API and the MCP server can start, fill and close a sprint.
What does Jira do better?
Jira lets you configure workflows, statuses and permissions in great detail and scales to very large organisations. devbord chooses fewer settings and more that works straight away.
Where does our data live?
On a server we rent from Hetzner, in Germany. We cannot open your projects without approval from an admin of your workspace, and what we look at then lands in your access log.
