Huly takes a different approach from the other tools here: it is an open source platform that combines a task tracker with chat, documents, a team planner and a virtual office with audio and video calls. For developer teams, the most useful piece is two-way synchronization with GitHub Issues and GitHub Projects, which lets Huly act as a front end for several repositories. Pricing is per workspace rather than per seat. The free Common plan allows unlimited users with 10GB of storage and 10GB of video and audio traffic, Rare costs $19.99 a month for 100GB of each, and Epic costs $99.99 for 1TB of storage. Huly says charges cover consumed cloud resources: storage, network and compute. The catch is breadth. Teams that only want a board will find more to set up than in Taiga or Kanboard, and AI features are still marked as to be determined on the pricing page.
