It needs someone to run it.
Workflows, permissions, fields and automation rules usually need a Jira administrator. Reviewers often call it overkill for a small team.

Jira?

Snappi Free: 7 people free, basics only (boards, tasks, messages, calendar), extra people $4 a month each by card. Meetings, calls, forms and automations start on Starter.

SOUND FAMILIAR?
Why teams look
beyond Jira.
Built for developers, used by everyone.
Marketing, operations and client teams often find Jira hard to start with, so work ends up split across tools.
SourceMeetings and notes are separate purchases.
Jira does not host meetings. Atlassian sells Loom separately, and its meeting notes come with Loom Business + AI at $24 per user.
SourceWHAT YOU SAVE
$660 a year,
for 10 people.
That is what 10 people on Jira Standard pay above Snappi Starter (Starter, 10 people included), both on yearly billing. On Jira Premium the difference is $1,610 a year.
List prices read 8 October 2026 from Jira’s own pricing page; seat rules applied, add-ons and tax not included. See every tool.

TO BE FAIR
What Jira
does better.
- Jira is deeper for software issue tracking: per-issue-type workflows, JQL search and code integrations. If your engineers live in those, keep Jira for them.
- Jira Free covers up to 10 users at $0. If you only need a board for a small team, it is a fair choice.
HOW TO MOVE
Three steps.
Keep Jira running meanwhile.
- 1
Export from Jira
In Jira, search for the issues you want, then choose Export and Export CSV.
- 2
Import into a Snappi board
On a Snappi board, open the arrow next to New task and choose Import tasks. Snappi recognises a Jira export and maps the columns for you. Summaries, status, priority, due dates and descriptions come across. Jira’s “08/Oct/26” dates are understood.
- 3
Invite your team
People who edit count toward the package; people who only need to look, like clients, join as free viewers or single-board guests and never count.
- Start on Free with no card for boards, tasks and messages, and run both tools side by side while you decide. Free takes 7 people, and more at $4 a month each. Meetings, calls, forms and automations start on Starter, which also includes 250 AI credits a month.
- Pay monthly if you would rather not commit to a year. On a paid package, a month when fewer people than the package’s threshold use Snappi and nobody meets, calls or uses AI costs half (the Quiet-Month Promise, up to 3 times in 12 months).
- On Team with yearly billing and still locked into another tool? We credit one month of overlap on your next invoice, checked by hand, so you are not paying twice while you move.
- Cancel any time; your plan runs to the end of the period you paid for.
- One price for your entire team, with the people included; viewers, board guests and meeting guests are never billed (meeting guests count toward the meeting’s people limit).
- Every board exports to CSV or Excel whenever you want your data out.

Questions about moving
What comes across from Jira?
Summaries, status, priority, due dates and descriptions come across. Jira’s “08/Oct/26” dates are understood. People, comments, attachments and custom fields are not imported; invite your team and add those as you go.
How big an export can I import?
As big as you need. Snappi imports in batches of 500 tasks, one after another, and makes any groups (lists, sections) that do not exist yet.
Do we have to move everyone at once?
No. Start a free Snappi workspace for one team or one project while the rest stay on Jira. Move the next board when you are ready.
What about meetings and chat?
Video meetings with guest links, recording, screen share and a whiteboard, plus 1:1 voice and video calls, start on Starter, so there is nothing extra to buy for them once you are on a paid package. Direct messages are on every plan, Free included. The AI note taker is paid from AI credits (250 a month from Starter) or notes pages, which Free can prepay for.
What if we need help moving?
Write to the Snappi team through the contact page. Agencies in Sri Lanka can ask about the Founding Agency offer, which includes moving one existing system across with you.
