Orangescrum

Project management software with unlimited users on every paid plan and no per-seat fees

Visit Orangescrum

Orangescrum is a project management platform for teams of any size, bringing planning, execution, and delivery into one place. It addresses the fragmentation caused by using separate tools for tasks, time tracking, documents, spreadsheets, chat, and QA, where cost visibility and workload risks are often unclear until deadlines approach. The platform combines agile boards, Gantt planning, time and resource management, budgeting, and QA tooling, and can run as managed cloud, self-hosted on-premise, or as a free open-source Community Edition.

Core capabilities include Scrum and Kanban boards with sprints, backlogs, epics, and story points; drag-and-drop Gantt charts with dependencies, milestones, and critical path; built-in timers, weekly timesheets, and billable hour tracking; resource management with utilization heatmaps and capacity planning; budget and cost tracking with invoicing from approved time logs; bug and defect tracking; test case management; wiki and document management; and reporting dashboards. Built-in AI Chat lets users query project data and take actions such as logging time or creating tasks, with confirmation gates before changes are made. An MCP Server supports connecting external AI clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot. Integrations include Slack, Microsoft Teams, Jenkins, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Outlook, and a REST API.

Orangescrum is aimed at teams needing agile delivery alongside portfolio-level planning, including those requiring self-hosting or air-gapped deployment for data control. It is packaged as a free forever plan with limited projects and users, paid cloud plans with unlimited users and no per-seat pricing, a custom Enterprise edition with SSO, LDAP, 2FA, and BI integrations, a self-hosted edition, and a free AGPL-licensed Community Edition. A 14-day free trial is available without a credit card, and guided migration is offered from tools such as Jira, Asana, monday.com, ClickUp, Trello, and spreadsheets.
