Jira is built for big engineering orgs. If that's overkill, TaskInSync gives small teams sprints, a backlog, kanban and GitHub — plus AI and an API — in a tool you can actually set up in minutes, at ₹ pricing per seat.
Jira is genuinely powerful, and if your team already knows it, that knowledge comes with you — sprints, backlog, boards and roadmap all work the way you'd expect. What you leave behind is the overhead. The common reasons small teams switch:
The agile flow your team already runs — sprints, backlog, kanban — but configured in minutes instead of maintained by an admin.
Getting boards and workflows right can take longer than the work itself.
Tasks, docs, workload and reports in one place — instead of Jira plus a stack of add-ons.
Predictable rupee pricing with UPI and cards beats per-seat USD for a lean team.
Already on Jira? You don't start from scratch. Export your issues to CSV and import them straight into TaskInSync — titles, statuses, priorities, labels, story points and issue types map across automatically.
In Jira, open the Issue Navigator → Export → CSV (All fields). That's the standard Jira export — no plugins.
Pick a project and upload the CSV. We auto-map Summary→title, Description, Status, Priority, Labels→tags, Story Points and Issue Type. Epics, Stories, Tasks and Bugs are all recognised.
Preview is a dry run — nothing is created until you confirm. Re-uploading the same file is safe: rows dedupe automatically on title + due date. Up to 5,000 rows per file.
The importer handles Jira's multi-line issue descriptions correctly, so your tickets come across intact. Migrating a bigger instance or need a hand? We'll help you move for free.

Where Jira leads: deep agile/dev workflows for engineering teams. Where TaskInSync wins for small, non-engineering teams: docs built in (no separate Confluence), a simpler setup, and ₹ pricing per seat.
Yes — it gives you the agile essentials (sprints, backlog, kanban, roadmap) and connects to GitHub, but with a much simpler setup than Jira, which is built for large engineering orgs. Free plan and ₹ pricing per seat.
Yes — sprints with planning, a backlog, kanban with live reordering, and a roadmap. The AI assistant can help plan sprints and find blockers.
Yes — a GitHub integration, plus a REST and GraphQL API and webhooks for custom workflows.
For small teams, generally yes — free to start, ₹ pricing per seat, and a focused interface rather than deep enterprise configuration.
