Pros & Cons
Everhour
Pros
- More than 20 native integrations, including Asana, ClickUp, Monday, Jira and Linear, put a timer directly on tasks, and reviewers praise these integrations most.
- A browser extension adds tracking to more than 20 other web apps, such as Figma, HubSpot and Zendesk.
- Budgets with alerts, expense tracking and invoicing that syncs to QuickBooks, Xero or FreshBooks cover billable work end to end.
- The Team plan costs 8.50 USD per seat per month on yearly billing, and the free plan covers up to 5 seats.
- Reviewers often single out the customer support, and Everhour holds about a 4.8 out of 5 average across 139 SpotSaaS ratings.
Cons
- It is not a standalone PM suite: it has no Gantt charts, docs or whiteboards.
- The free plan has no integrations, which are the product's main value.
- Paid plans require 5 seats and payment by card only, and unused time is not refunded when you cancel.
- Its security documentation relies on AWS's SOC 2 compliance rather than its own report, and it does not run formal periodic risk assessments.
- Some users report hours that failed to record, too many reminder alerts, and limited chart-style reporting.
Taiga
Pros
- Every hosted plan allows unlimited users at a flat account price, so costs do not grow as the team grows.
- It is fully open source and can be self-hosted with Docker for free, keeping data on your own servers.
- Scrum backlogs, sprint boards, burndown charts and Kanban WIP limits cover the core agile workflows.
- Built-in GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Gogs integrations, plus webhooks, a REST API and Zapier, connect it to developer workflows.
- Importers for Trello, Jira, GitHub and Asana make it easier to move existing projects in.
Cons
- Storage on the hosted tiers is very small: 10MB on Free and 500MB on Basic.
- The vendor pages do not mention native time tracking, Gantt charts or automation rules.
- Reporting depends on dashboards and CSV exports rather than advanced analytics.
- Some self-hosting users describe it as bloated and clunky out of the box.
- Many review-site listings show outdated per-user prices that differ from the vendor's current per-account pricing.
