Project Management Software for Technology Startups in Kuala Lumpur
For Kuala Lumpur founders choosing a first project tool with a small team and a tight budget. What ShipSprint's Free plan covers, when a paid plan earns its cost, and what to check before signing up.

The tool you pick at five people
A startup's first project tool is usually chosen in an afternoon and then lived with for years. The trouble shows up later: the tool was free for five but expensive at fifteen, time tracking turns out to be a separate product, and the wiki is in a different app that half the team never opens.
ShipSprint tries to make that later moment predictable. The Free plan gives up to 5 users and 2 projects the core boards, with all project templates and no time limit. When you grow, the paid plans are priced per user, and what each one includes is listed below rather than spread across add-ons.
Engineering, hiring, marketing and operations all run on the same subscription, each with its own templates and vocabulary. For a founding team that does a bit of everything, that means one place to look.
Signs it's time to upgrade
Most startups move up for a concrete reason, not a feature list.
Free stops at 5 users and 2 projects. Team covers up to 40 users and 100 projects.
On Team, branches move cards and merged pull requests close them, so the board stops needing manual updates.
A grant report, a paying pilot client, or just knowing where the week went. Time tracking and timesheets start on Team.
Business forecasts delivery from measured velocity as sprints close and adds the owner command center with a Monday digest.
Running lean without losing track
On a small team, the cost of a lost decision is high, because there's nobody else who remembers. The built-in wiki keeps the reasoning behind product and hiring choices next to the work, with page history, and any sentence can be turned into a task. Early customer feedback goes into a triage inbox and gets scheduled deliberately rather than as it arrives.
Every person starts the day on a "my day" screen with today's items and an "I'm blocked" button that pulls in whoever can help. On Team and up, AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can work with the workspace over MCP, using only the permissions of the person asking.
Holidays matter more when there are only a few of you. In Malaysia, Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Chinese New Year and Deepavali are the holidays that most affect capacity, and on Team and up, capacity planning counts approved leave and out-of-office. Before promising a pilot customer a go-live date, check it against those weeks. There's no activity tracking, keystroke logging or screenshots at any point, on any plan.
Signing up from Kuala Lumpur: what to know
Who you're buying from. ShipSprint belongs to Quantuva Technologies Pvt. Ltd., based in Hyderabad, India. There is no office or local entity in Malaysia, and support is by email and in-app chat (community support on Free).
Time zones. IST is 2 hours 30 minutes behind Kuala Lumpur, with no daylight saving on either side. A question sent after lunch in Kuala Lumpur reaches support during the Indian working day; replies usually come the same working day, Indian time.
Billing. Paid seats are charged in Indian rupees through Razorpay, and your card or bank converts them to ringgit. Ask your accountant how service tax treats a digital service from abroad.
Data protection. Candidate CVs and early customer contacts are personal data under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010. Check the sub-processor list and the security overview against your obligations and any customer contracts. A full JSON export is available on every plan, Free included.
