Project Management Software for Technology Startups in San Francisco
San Francisco invented most of the project management category, and priced it for the customer down the street: a company with a Series C budget. ShipSprint is priced for the company that hasn't raised one yet.
The city that built this category, for a customer you might not be yet
San Francisco is where most tools in this space were designed, and their pricing still reflects who was in the room when it was set: companies with the budget of a Series C or later, sold by teams who also work down the street. That proximity has a real effect. When your customer and your sales team are both walking distance apart, the price point tends to drift toward what that specific customer can afford, and stays there even as the tool gets sold well beyond the city, including to a two-person founding team that's never seen that kind of budget.
A founder at that earlier stage is often doing four jobs before lunch: writing code, screening a candidate, drafting an investor update, and figuring out what last week's sprint actually cost. A tool designed around a thousand-person org's approval chains adds friction to that day rather than removing it, and a "free" tier that's really a fourteen-day countdown doesn't change the underlying math.
ShipSprint runs the same category of product, boards, time tracking, forecasting, a wiki, at a per-seat price that doesn't assume a Series C, on the free tier included.
What matters before you've raised the round that pays for the rest
Not a stripped-down version built to be outgrown, the full product from day one.
Five users and two projects, permanently, with the same forecasting, wiki and time tracking a Business customer gets, none of it locked behind a call to unlock.
Engineering, HR, marketing and operations each get their own templates and vocabulary on the same account, so the tenth hire doesn't trigger a second contract just because they're not another engineer.
A new workspace opens with a sample project already loaded and WIP limits set out of the box, so a founding team of six doesn't need a dedicated admin to configure it first.
Early-stage plans get revisited constantly. The built-in wiki keeps decisions next to the work they affect, with page history, and any sentence can become a task directly.
Everyone opens to a "my day" screen: today's items, a one-tap time log, and one tap to flag being blocked, which routes to the right person with context already attached.
Free that isn't a funnel with a deadline attached
A lot of San Francisco's project management spend goes toward tools whose free tier is really a sales motion: a fourteen-day trial, or a seat cap tuned to force an upgrade before a team's second sprint finishes. ShipSprint's Free plan has no expiry date. Five users and two projects run indefinitely on the same product a Business customer pays for.
ShipSprint is built by Quantuva Technologies Pvt. Ltd., based in India, and bills in rupees. There's no San Francisco office and no claim of one, support runs the same way for every customer regardless of location. For a founder watching every dollar of a small seed round, the practical effect is cost: per seat, it tends to land at a fraction of what most Bay Area-priced tools charge for the same coverage. See pricing for current numbers.
When a team does cross five people or two projects, Team runs ₹299 per user per month, still priced for a founding team's budget rather than a Series C's. 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 the team already knows, with more of it switched on.
Questions from San Francisco startups
Yes. Five users and two projects run on the Free plan permanently, on the same core product as the paid tiers, not a stripped-down version. Most early teams stay on it until headcount or project count outgrows it, then move up rather than migrating tools.
No. The Free plan covers five users and two projects, permanently, with the same core product as the paid tiers. There's no seat-tier ladder designed to nudge you into upgrading before you actually need to.
No. You're charged in rupees on a card or by invoice, same mechanics as any SaaS billing relationship. The practical effect for a US buyer is price: it tends to land at a fraction of what per-seat US-market tools charge. See the pricing page for current numbers.
No, and it's not configurable into being one. No screenshots, no keystroke logging, no activity tracking. Just delivered items and hours logged by the person who logged them, visible to that person and adjusted for leave.
