Project Management Software for Technology Startups in Denver

What you get for nothing, exactly

Early on, every subscription has to justify itself. A lot of software calls itself free and turns out to be a trial, or a plan with a limit low enough that you hit it in the second sprint. It's worth knowing precisely where the line is before you build habits around a tool.

ShipSprint's Free plan is core boards for up to 5 users and 2 projects, with every project template and community support. There's no time limit. It doesn't include time tracking, GitHub integration, delivery forecasts, AI assistants or the dashboards; those start on the paid plans. For a founding team that needs a shared board and a backlog, Free is enough. When you need more, Team is ₹299 per user per month.

If you want to see everything first, the 14-day trial gives you the full Business plan with a sample project and no card. If nobody upgrades at the end, the workspace carries on as Free with nothing deleted.

The signals that it's time to pay

Most startups move off Free for one of three reasons. The sixth person joins. A third project starts, often hiring or a customer pilot running alongside the product. Or engineering wants the board to follow GitHub instead of being updated by hand.

Team covers all three: up to 40 users and 100 projects, GitHub integration where branches move cards and merged pull requests close them, time tracking and timesheets, the manager dashboard, capacity planning, email digests and AI assistant access over MCP. The annual price is ₹2,899 per user per year.

Business, at ₹599 per user per month, is for when someone has to answer for dates. It adds delivery forecasts from measured velocity, scorecards, the owner command center with a Monday digest, the workspace audit log, sign-in with Google or Microsoft and priority support. If a board meeting asks "when", a forecast recalculated as each sprint closes is a better answer than the one in the original plan.

Small team, honest records

A founding team that sells to larger companies will be asked security questions sooner than it expects. On every plan, each workspace is an isolated tenant, every user can turn on two-factor authentication, and the whole workspace exports as JSON, so you're not locked in.

When a five-person team loses one person for a week, a sprint loses a fifth of its capacity. On Team and up, capacity planning counts approved leave and out-of-office; in the US, plan around Thanksgiving week in late November, Independence Day on 4 July and the end-of-December holidays. And because a startup can't afford a culture of being watched, there are no screenshots, keystroke logs or activity tracking in the product.

Signing up from Denver: what to know first

Who you're buying from. Quantuva Technologies Pvt. Ltd., based in Hyderabad, India. There's no office or local entity in the US. Support is by email and in-app chat (community support on Free).

Time zones. IST is 12 hours 30 minutes ahead of Denver in winter and 11 hours 30 minutes ahead in summer. Replies usually come the same working day, Indian time, so expect answers overnight rather than while you're on a call.

Billing. Paid seats are charged in Indian rupees through Razorpay, and your bank converts them to dollars. Whether a startup owes sales tax on a service bought from abroad is a question for your accountant.

Data protection. There's no single federal privacy law in the US. State laws, including California's CCPA, may apply once you hold customer data, and HIPAA applies to health data. Read the sub-processor list and the security overview and check them against your obligations and any customer contract.
