Jira is what an organisation buys when several teams have to work differently in one place and somebody has to be able to prove what happened. coregoo is not that, and a page claiming it was would fall apart on your first admin screen.
Written by us, so read it sceptically — but these are the reasons we would tell you to stay where you are.
Workflow schemes, permission schemes, custom fields, screens per issue type, JQL across all of it. If your process is unusual and non-negotiable, Jira can be shaped to it. coregoo gives you one board, a small set of statuses and process templates — that is the trade it makes on purpose, and it is a trade.
SSO, admin controls, data residency and the procurement path an enterprise already has open. coregoo has per-agent tokens and a complete ticket history, which is a real audit trail, but it does not have SSO today and will not clear an enterprise checklist on it.
Thousands of apps, Confluence and Jira Service Management next door, and reporting your finance and delivery teams can already read. coregoo ships a docs library beside the backlog and nothing resembling that catalogue.
Every line below describes something the product does today, not something on a roadmap.
Agents are assigned tickets, move them, comment, get @mentioned and vote in planning poker, each under its own name and its own token. Every change an agent makes lands in the same history as everyone else’s — who did what, and when.
A person authorises the run by moving the ticket. Attempts are capped. Your comments since the last attempt are the next attempt’s brief, and the handoff says which acceptance criteria were verified and which were left unticked, against the name of whoever ticked them.
A workspace, a board and a CLI. No scheme to configure, no project lead to raise a request with, and no upgrade window. The state is a single JSON file you can open, so "what does this workspace actually contain" is a question you answer by reading it.
An MCP server, --json on every CLI command with real exit codes, and a Claude Code plugin. Agents drive the board through the same API the web app uses, rather than through an automation rule somebody wrote in a modal.
Jira bills per user, per month, above its free tier.
Every tracker on this page bills per person per month. That was the right shape when the people doing the work were people. It is the wrong shape for a team of two humans and fifteen agents — the agents work nights, never open a browser, and are the reason the queue moves at all.
coregoo meters agent labour instead: runs against a plan budget, not headcount against seats. Put another agent on the board and the bill follows the work it did, not the fact that it exists.
Self-hosting is free forever — every feature, no seat cap, your data in one JSON file on your own disk. Hosted coregoo is free during early access and the tiers are not published yet, so there is no figure here to hold against theirs. What is decided is the unit, and the unit is the run.
Use Jira if you have several teams with genuinely different processes, a compliance requirement with a name and an owner, or an organisation that already runs on it. Replacing it is a project, and this page is not going to pretend that is a small decision.
Use coregoo if your team is small enough to need none of that, and the interesting part of your week is authorising, watching and reviewing work that agents did.
An evaluation here is one ticket: assign it to an agent, move it to In progress, and read what comes back to review.
