Zenhub overview: who it is for and what it does.
Zenhub, founded in 2014, is built for engineering teams that already live in GitHub. Instead of syncing issues into a separate tracker, it layers projects, epics, boards, sprints and roadmaps on top of GitHub issues and pull requests, available as a GitHub extension and web app. GitHub Marketplace and TechRepublic describe automated sprint planning, burndown, release and velocity reports and more than 350 integrations, including GitHub, and Zenhub promotes AI features such as labels, acceptance criteria and sprint reviews. GetApp shows a 4.3 rating from 34 reviews and Software Advice describes it as best for software-led startups and scaleups with agile teams.
Zenhub's pricing page shows three plans. Free is built for small teams with essential features and a single workspace, including projects, epics and issues, automated sprint planning, planning poker, estimates, real-time roadmaps, basic sprint reports, a velocity report and sprint insights. Teams, at $4.99 per user per month billed yearly according to the current page and PricingSaaS, adds AI-powered tools (AI suggested labels, AI acceptance criteria and AI sprint review), workspace automations and advanced reporting such as control chart, cumulative flow and GitHub insights, plus the ability to toggle public and private workspaces. Enterprise adds AI automation, advanced security, custom reports and dedicated support, and one source lists self-hosting. Free trials are offered for both Teams and Enterprise.
Price information has shifted, so confirm before buying. TechRepublic, Capterra, GetApp and Software Advice list Teams at $8.33 per user per month billed annually or $12.50 monthly, and G2 lists Teams starting at $8.33, which appear to reflect the earlier price. Toolradar describes the Free tier as supporting up to 50 users and limits it to 2 repositories, while MakerStack lists limits of 10 workspaces, 50 users, 50 repos and 5,000 issues on Teams, and these limits differ between sources. Zenhub suits GitHub-centred product and engineering teams, and teams that use GitLab, Bitbucket or non-technical work management will not get the same value.
