Project and task management
EpicForge alternatives
2 open-source projects that already do this job. Free to use - not free to run, which is what the numbers on the right are for.
The projects

What you give up either way
- Polished commercial UI/UX and onboarding
- Marketing, support, and paid-lifetime purchase option managed by vendor
- Any undocumented edge-case handling and enterprise polish (RBAC, SSO, audit logs)
- Hosted reliability/SLA and backups unless you self-host with paid infra
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches EpicForge, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
