Who it is for

Frequently asked questions

Is it an alternative to Jira?

Yes, for engineering teams: issues correspond to Jira issues, cycles correspond to sprints, and modules correspond to epics and components, complete with boards and analytics. The difference is a cleaner interface, zero per-user licensing fees, and hosting in Egypt.

Is there a free project management tool?

The software is open source with no per-user license fees. You pay us for hosting, configuration, and managed operations, not a tax on every team member.

What is the difference between it and task boards?

Project management is built for teams running sprints, release milestones, and story estimation. Teams wanting simple card boards inside the Asas ecosystem should look at task boards.

Does it track billable hours and calculate project cost?

It does not track financial costing. For logging employee hours and invoicing clients, choose projects and timesheets.

Our limits

  • Single sign-on routes through code hosting; deactivated user accounts retain active sessions until session expiry, which we configure with you to strict intervals.
  • The software is from its developer (Plane); our role is hosting, configuration, operation, and support.
