AperioFlow vs Jira
Jira is built for agile teams that want every option. AperioFlow is for solo developers and teams of up to 10 who want the plan, the errors and the uptime in one place, at one flat price in pounds.
Pick Jira
If you run sprints with a backlog, releases and a timeline, need marketplace apps, or are more than 10 people.
Pick Jira Free
If you are up to 10 people, only need a tracker, and the free plan's limits suit you. It costs nothing.
Pick AperioFlow
If you also want errors grouped and sites watched next to the work, and a flat price that does not grow with each person or client.

Adding a person, or a client
On a per-user price every new teammate, contractor or client who needs to see the board adds to the bill. On AperioFlow Team the price stays £29 up to 10 people, and anyone who only needs to look joins as a free viewer.
At Jira Standard's listed rate, five people cost $42.40 a month and ten cost $84.80, in US dollars, before any tool for errors or uptime.
Where Jira is ahead
- Agile depth. Sprints, backlog, boards, timeline and releases are all there. AperioFlow does not have these.
- Free for up to 10 users. For a team that only needs tracking, Jira Free costs less than any paid plan.
- An ecosystem. Thousands of marketplace apps and integrations, and teams of any size.
