The Jira alternative
that just makes sense.
All the structure of Jira. None of the complexity. Jira is powerful — but most teams use a fraction of it while paying for all of it, and fighting its configuration the whole way. Magnifi gives you boards, backlogs, sprints, and timelines that work the moment you sign in, at less than half the price.
Free for teams up to 5 · No credit card
Is Magnifi a good Jira alternative?
Yes. Magnifi is a cheaper, simpler, all-in-one alternative to Jira: a flat $3 per seat each month (versus Jira's $7.75), free for teams up to 5, with no setup project or learning curve. A team of 10 saves about $570 a year while getting tasks, boards, timelines, teams, docs, and notifications in one workspace.

Why teams look beyond Jira.
Configuration is a second job
Workflows, schemes, permissions, screens — Jira often needs a dedicated admin just to keep it usable. Magnifi works out of the box.
Steep learning curve for everyone but engineers
Designers, marketers, and founders bounce off Jira's complexity. Magnifi is simple enough that anyone on the team actually uses it.
The bill climbs as you grow
At $7.75+ per seat it adds up fast. Magnifi is a flat $3 per seat — and free for teams of up to 5.
