Task tools stop at the task. Your projects don't.
Why teams replace scattered task tools with all-in-one project management software - and what changes after the switch to Orangescrum.
Everything teams want from a project management tool - without the per-seat bill
Three things most project management tools make you choose between. Orangescrum gives you all of them.
Unlimited Users
Add your whole team - members, clients, and contractors - at no extra cost. No per-seat pricing on any plan, so your bill never grows just because your team does.
AI-Powered
Built-in AI Chat and an MCP Server. Ask plain-English questions, log time, and connect Claude, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot directly to your projects.
Everything Built In
Agile boards, Gantt, time and resource management, documents, and AI - in one platform. No add-ons or plugins to license, and no surprise costs.
Plan, execute, and deliver projects - all in one place

AI Project Management, Built In - and MCP-Native
Most tools are racing to add AI agents - and charging you per seat for them. Orangescrum's AI works for your whole team at no per-seat cost, reads your live project data, and connects to the AI tools you already use.
Chat with your projects
In-product AI Chat
Ask plain-English questions about tasks, sprints, blockers, and team workload - and let AI take actions like logging time or creating tasks. It reads your live data, so it doesn't guess.
- Sprint health on demand - blockers, overdue tasks, velocity at a glance
- Log time and create or update tasks from a chat prompt
- Confirmation gates - AI never changes data silently
Open AI, not a walled garden
MCP Server
Other tools lock you into their own proprietary agent. Orangescrum implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) - an open standard - so you connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or any MCP client directly to your workspace. Bring the AI you already use.
- 72 MCP tools - read projects, tasks, timelogs, team; create & update
- Built-in prompts - daily standup and overdue report
- Switch AI providers anytime - OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), or Google Gemini

Switching & comparisons
31Is Orangescrum a good alternative to Jira?
Yes. Teams switch from Jira to Orangescrum for flat pricing with unlimited users instead of per-seat licenses, a simpler interface for non-technical teams, and a fully self-hosted option. Free guided migration moves your projects, tasks, and users across.
32What is the best self-hosted alternative to Jira Data Center after end-of-life?
Atlassian closed new Jira Data Center sales on March 30, 2026. Existing customers can buy expansions and renewals only until March 30, 2028, and full end of life is March 28, 2029, when instances become read-only. That middle date is the one most self-hosted teams miss, because it caps growth two years before the lights go out. Orangescrum's self-hosted edition runs on your own infrastructure (on-premise, private cloud, or air-gapped) with agile boards, sprints, and unlimited users, and includes free guided migration from Jira.
33How is Orangescrum different from Asana, monday.com, and ClickUp?
Orangescrum combines three things none of them offer together: unlimited users with flat pricing (all three charge per seat), a self-hosted edition (all three are cloud-only), and an open MCP Server that connects any AI assistant to your projects. It focuses on practical project management - boards, Gantt, time, resources, and budgets - without re-platforming your whole company.
34Is Orangescrum open source?
No. Orangescrum's current cloud and self-hosted editions are commercial software. The self-hosted edition gives you full data control on your own infrastructure - but self-hosted is not the same as open source. If data ownership is your goal, self-hosted Orangescrum delivers it with enterprise support included.
Pricing, AI & getting started
35How much does Orangescrum cost?
Orangescrum uses flat, plan-based pricing with unlimited users - you pay for the plan, not per person. Paid plans are $29, $69, and $349 per month (save 10% with annual billing), plus a Free Forever plan and custom Enterprise pricing. A team of 5 or 500 pays the same flat price.
36Does Orangescrum really offer unlimited users?
Yes. Every paid plan includes unlimited users - team members, clients, and contractors - at no per-seat cost, so your bill stays predictable as your team grows.
37Is Orangescrum free?
Yes. Orangescrum has a Free Forever plan with 1 project and 1 user - no credit card required - plus a free trial of the paid plans. Paid plans start at $29 per month with unlimited users.
38What is the best project management software for small teams on a budget?
For small teams on a budget, flat pricing beats per-seat pricing fast. Orangescrum's Basic plan is $29 per month with unlimited users - at typical per-seat prices, a team of just 4 or 5 already pays more elsewhere - and there's a Free Forever plan to start on.
39Is there a free trial?
Yes. You can start a free trial with no credit card required and be up and running in minutes - plus a Free Forever plan if you want to start small.
40Does Orangescrum have AI features?
Yes. Orangescrum includes a built-in AI Chat - ask plain-English questions about tasks, sprints, blockers, and workload, and take actions like logging time or creating tasks - plus an MCP Server that connects AI clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot directly to your projects.
41What is the MCP Server?
The Orangescrum MCP Server implements the Model Context Protocol, an open standard that lets AI assistants read and update your project data through 212 tools. It works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and any MCP-compatible client.
42Can AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT connect to Orangescrum?
Yes. Orangescrum's MCP Server lets AI assistants such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot read and update your projects through 212 tools using the open Model Context Protocol. On the self-hosted edition you can also bring your own LLM - OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), or Google Gemini.
43Can I migrate from Jira, Asana, or monday.com?
Yes. Our team provides guided migration - data mapping, import tooling, and validation - from Jira, Asana, monday.com, Trello, Basecamp, and MS Project.
44What integrations does Orangescrum support?
GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and Outlook, plus SSO/SAML, LDAP, and a full REST API. The Self-Hosted edition also offers a public REST and GraphQL API with outbound webhooks.
45Is my data secure?
Orangescrum is GDPR-compliant and ISO 27001-certified, with SSO/SAML, LDAP, admin-enforced 2FA, role-based access control, and audit logs. The hosted edition runs on SOC 2 Type II compliant infrastructure (AWS / Azure / GCP); self-hosted keeps all data inside your own infrastructure.
46Can I run Orangescrum on my own servers?
Yes. Orangescrum is also available self-hosted - on-premise, private cloud, or fully air-gapped - for teams that need full data control. Most teams start using Orangescrum right away with no setup; see the self-hosted page if you need to host it yourself.
