Project Management Software for Technology Startups in Seattle
Seattle built the cloud platform businesses that now sell project management tools through a whole enterprise motion. ShipSprint skips that motion for the five-person team that doesn't have a procurement process yet.
Priced next to companies that invented the seat minimum
Seattle's technology economy runs deep on cloud platforms and the enterprise software layered on top of them, work defined by long release cycles and a sales motion to match: long contracts, seat minimums, a call before you can even see real pricing. A lot of the project management tools sold into this market inherited that same motion. It makes sense for the enterprise buyer they're built for, and very little sense for a startup that's five people with nobody whose job is procurement.
An early Seattle startup is usually one or two engineers and a founder covering hiring and marketing at once, with no time to sit through a discovery call just to learn what a tool costs. What that team actually needs is a board that works the day it's opened, and a price it can see without talking to anyone first.
ShipSprint publishes its pricing plainly, and the free plan is five users and two projects, forever, on the full product, billed in rupees by a company based in India.
What matters before there's anyone to negotiate with
See the plans, start a trial, and decide on your own timeline, not a sales team's quarter.
Forecasting, the wiki and time tracking all run at five users and two projects, permanently, no demo call required to check whether it fits. Upgrading happens only once those numbers are genuinely outgrown.
Engineering, HR, marketing and operations each get their own templates and vocabulary on the same account, so a founder covering more than one job doesn't need more than one login.
A new workspace opens with a sample project already loaded and boards carrying WIP limits out of the box, with nothing to configure before the team can use it for real work.
Early-stage plans get revisited constantly. The wiki keeps decisions next to the work they affect, with page history, and any sentence can become a task directly.
Login opens straight onto today's work, no dashboard to interpret first, with a quick way to log hours next to it and a single tap to flag a blocker that routes straight to whoever can clear it.
The number, without a call to get it
A lot of the tools built in this market gate their free tier behind a two-week trial or a seat cap tuned to force an upgrade fast, often after a sales conversation to see the real numbers first. ShipSprint's Free plan has no expiry date and no sales call attached. 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 Seattle office and no Pacific Time support desk behind it, and support runs the same way for every customer regardless of location. For a founding team, the practical effect is cost: per seat, it tends to land at a fraction of what typical enterprise-motion tools charge. See pricing for current numbers.
Crossing five people or two projects moves Team into play at ₹299 per user per month, a number built for a founder's budget rather than an enterprise seat minimum. Business stacks forecasts, scorecards, the owner command center and SSO on top for ₹599 per user per month, and either can run as an annual invoice instead.
Questions from Seattle startups

No. Pricing is published on the pricing page, and the 14-day Business trial starts with a sample project preloaded and no card required.
Yes. ShipSprint is built and billed by an India-based company, with prices set in rupees. Your card is charged in rupees, converted by your bank at its own rate, and you're provided an invoice for your records.
No, by design rather than policy. No screenshots, no keystroke logging, no activity tracking. Scorecards reflect delivered items and logged hours, visible to the person they describe, and adjusted for leave.
