Project Management Software for Technology Startups in New York
New York's startups compete for attention with finance, media and an agency economy that's been running for decades. ShipSprint is priced for the five-person team, not the floor of trading-desk budget upstairs.
A small team, next to a much bigger budget
A "New York tech team" often means something founded two floors below a trading desk, or sharing a building with an agency running six client accounts through one shared Slack. A young startup here doesn't inherit any of that scale or spend, but it's still expected to look organized from day one: a roadmap, an onboarding checklist, a way to say what a sprint actually cost. Most of the software built for this market was priced with that bigger neighbor in mind, not the five people renting a fraction of the floor.
That's the daily reality for an early New York startup: a founder who spent the morning on a fundraising call and the afternoon reviewing a resume, with no time to configure a workflow builder and no budget for the tier that unlocks the one feature the team actually needs this month.
ShipSprint's free plan isn't a trial disguised as generosity. It's five users and two projects, forever, on the full product a paying team uses, billed in rupees by a company based in India, which is a plain fact about the invoice rather than a claim of local presence.
What matters before you've hired a function out
The full product from the first login, not a preview of what you'd get if you paid.
Five users and two projects, permanently, on the exact product a Business customer uses. A founding team runs real sprints on it and only pays once headcount or project count actually crosses that line.
Engineering, HR, marketing and operations each get their own templates and vocabulary on the same account, so a founder covering hiring one day and a launch the next isn't juggling four separate tools.
A new workspace opens with a sample project already loaded, so a team sees a real board before touching a setting and starts moving actual work onto it the same afternoon.
Early-stage decisions get revisited constantly. The built-in wiki keeps the current reasoning next to the work it affects, with page history, and any sentence can become a task directly.
Everyone opens to a "my day" screen: today's items, a five-second time log, and one tap to say "I'm blocked", which pulls in the right person with context already attached.
Free that doesn't have a fourteen-day clock hidden in it
A lot of the tools a founder tries first sell something called free that's really a sales funnel: a trial window with a deadline, or a seat cap set low enough to force an upgrade within a month. ShipSprint's Free plan doesn't work that way. Five users and two projects run indefinitely on the same product a paying customer uses, not a stripped demo built to be outgrown on purpose.
Billing in rupees is worth stating plainly rather than discovering at checkout. It's an ordinary international SaaS charge, converted by your bank at whatever rate applies that day, and it isn't a claim of any local presence. ShipSprint is built by Quantuva Technologies Pvt. Ltd., based in India, with no New York office behind it, and support runs the same way for every customer regardless of location. The practical upshot for a founder watching runway closely is cost: per seat, it tends to land well under what most US-market tools charge for the same coverage. See pricing for current numbers rather than a conversion that could go stale.
When a team does cross five people or two projects, Team runs ₹299 per user per month, still priced for a founding team rather than a trading desk's budget. Business adds forecasts, scorecards, the owner command center and SSO at ₹599 per user per month, with annual billing available on either. It's the same product a team already knows how to use, with more of it switched on.
Questions from New York startups
Yes. Five users and two projects run on the Free plan permanently, on the same product as the paid tiers, with no time limit. You move up once your team or project count actually outgrows those numbers.
ShipSprint is built by an India-based company and bills in rupees on your card or via invoice. There's no New York office, and the practical effect for a US buyer is price: it tends to land at a fraction of typical US-market per-seat rates. Check the pricing page for current numbers.
No. The Free plan is sized for exactly this stage, with a sample project preloaded so there's something real to work from immediately. Most founding teams stay on it until headcount or project count actually outgrows it.
No. No screenshots, no keystroke logging, no activity tracking. Only outcomes: delivered items and hours logged by the person who logged them, visible to that person and adjusted for leave.
