GitHub Projects is included on GitHub Free at no cost. If your team is already on GitHub Free and your work maps cleanly to issues, there is nothing to save by switching, because there is nothing being spent. Worth being precise, though: GitHub Team is $4 per user per month, which is more than Magnifi's $3 — you would buy Team for private-repo controls, not for the project tracker.
Projects lives inside GitHub, so designers, clients and operations people need a GitHub account and a tolerance for a developer tool. Teams usually end up paying for a second tool for everyone else, and that second bill is the real comparison.
Comparisons that put GitHub at $21 per user are quoting the Enterprise plan, which you buy for SAML and audit logs rather than for Projects.
Your team is entirely engineers, your work is already issues and pull requests, and nobody outside the repository needs visibility. In that situation GitHub Projects is the correct answer and it is nearly free.
And when it is not: a team of 10 pays $480 a year for GitHub Projects Team against $300 for Magnifi. Same tasks, boards, timelines and docs — $180 a year of difference.
Nothing extra. Projects is included on GitHub Free, Team ($4 per user per month) and Enterprise ($21 per user per month). You are paying for GitHub, not for the project tracker.
On GitHub Free, yes — nothing is cheaper than free. On GitHub Team it is $4 per user per month, which is slightly more than Magnifi's $3, though you would be paying for GitHub rather than for the tracker. The real trade-off is not price: everyone who needs access has to work inside GitHub.
