The GitHub Projects alternative
that just makes sense.
Project management that lives outside your repo. GitHub Projects is fine for tracking issues next to code — but the rest of your team doesn't live in a repo. Magnifi gives designers, marketers, and leadership a real workspace with boards, timelines, and teams, while staying friendly to your developers.
Free for teams up to 5 · No credit card
Is Magnifi a good GitHub Projects alternative?
Yes. Magnifi is a cheaper, simpler, all-in-one alternative to GitHub Projects: a flat $3 per seat each month (versus GitHub Projects's $21), free for teams up to 5, with no setup project or learning curve. A team of 10 saves about $2,160 a year while getting tasks, boards, timelines, teams, docs, and notifications in one workspace.

Why teams look beyond GitHub Projects.
Built for code, not the whole team
Non-developers struggle in a repo-centric tool. Magnifi gives everyone a workspace they understand.
Barebones project views
GitHub Projects is improving, but it's thin on timelines, dashboards, and cross-project visibility. Magnifi includes them.
Enterprise seats are pricey
GitHub Enterprise runs to $21 a seat. Magnifi is $3 a seat for full project management — pair it with the GitHub you already use.
