Our take

Taiga does textbook scrum better than most free tools, but its hosted free plan has become tiny and the project's pace has slowed, so self-hosting is the real offer.

Scrum by the book, out of Madrid

Taiga is an open source tool designed around agile ritual: product backlogs, sprint planning with story points, burndown charts, kanban boards, and issue tracking. It came out of Madrid-based Kaleidos (the Penpot makers); since March 2024 the hosted service at tree.taiga.io has been run by Taiga Cloud Services.

For teams that actually run the ceremonies

  • Teams that actually run scrum and want the ceremonies modeled properly
  • Classrooms and open source projects using public project boards
  • Self-hosters who want an agile suite without license fees

Two free projects hosted, priced per instance after

Taiga is open source (MPL-2.0) and free to self-host with no user limit. As of July 2026, the hosted free plan includes 1 public project and 1 private project with unlimited users and only 10MB of storage. Paid hosted plans run from 5 euros/month (5 projects) to 60 euros/month (unlimited projects, 3GB storage), priced per instance rather than per user.

One private project is a tight limit, and 10MB tighter

  • The hosted free plan is now too small for more than one team project
  • 10MB of free storage means attachments live elsewhere
  • Development has slowed compared with its peak years; check the changelog before betting on it
  • The interface shows its age next to newer trackers like Plane

Still fine self-hosted, no longer a generous cloud

If you self-host and your team genuinely runs scrum, Taiga still earns its place. If you wanted a generous free cloud plan, that era ended; Plane's 12-member cloud tier is the better free hosted bet today.

Frequently asked questions about Taiga

Does Taiga support proper scrum, or just kanban boards?

Proper scrum. Product backlogs, sprint planning with story points, burndown charts, kanban boards and issue tracking are all included, and all free when you self-host (as of July 2026). That is more agile tooling than ClickUp or Trello give away, and roughly what Jira offers free for 10 users.

How many users does Taiga's free plan allow?

Unlimited, on both routes, which makes projects the binding limit rather than people. The hosted free plan gives unlimited users just 1 public and 1 private project with 10MB of storage (as of July 2026), so you can invite the whole company and then run out of places to put them. Self-hosting under MPL-2.0 caps neither.

How is hosted Taiga priced?

Per instance rather than per user, which is rare in this category. Enthusiast is 5 euros a month for 5 public and 5 private projects with 100MB of storage, and Premium is 60 euros a month for unlimited projects with 3GB (as of July 2026). Headcount does not change either figure.

Who runs Taiga now?

Taiga came out of Kaleidos in Madrid, the team behind Penpot, but since March 2024 the hosted service at tree.taiga.io has been run by Taiga Cloud Services rather than the original team. Development has also slowed compared with the project's peak years, so read the changelog before you build a long-term process on it.

Does Taiga have time tracking?

No, not natively, on any plan or deployment (as of July 2026). There is no Gantt view either, which is the real gap next to OpenProject or Plane. Taiga models sprints and story points well and leaves the scheduling and billing side to something else.
