Yodiz

Yodiz is an agile work-management platform for teams organizing delivery across projects. It is a stronger fit for Scrum or ScrumBan teams that want backlog analysis, sprint tracking, and release coordination together than for teams seeking a broad free tier. Its three-user Starter cap is the clearest constraint.

Overview

Yodiz covers planning through delivery: teams can analyze backlog items, manage sprints, track linked releases, and review work across projects. Unlimited projects on every plan is useful for teams with multiple initiatives, but it does not remove the Starter plan’s three-user ceiling.

Key features

The backlog provides analytics on complexity, size, and trends; epics help prioritize features and examine story analytics. This can give planning conversations more substance than a basic task list, provided teams keep their backlog data current.

The sprint board supports Scrum and ScrumBan, customizable workflows, filters, burndown tracking, and story allocation analytics. That mix is suited to teams that want to adapt sprint practices while monitoring progress. The planning board shows multiple projects side by side, and release management links sprints with their progress, extending visibility beyond an individual sprint.

Dashboards, widgets, reporting, analytics, and roadmaps help teams track work across projects. Comments, notifications, and tagging support collaboration. Yodiz lists 20 native integrations, including GitHub, BitBucket, Slack, Freshdesk, Zendesk, Dropbox, and Google Drive. Its Grab browser add-ons for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari capture and annotate screenshots and can turn them into issues or user stories.

Android, iPhone, and iPad apps support managing backlog items, effort, issues, and sprint contents on the go. A REST API returns JSON and uses token-based authentication with an API key. Yodiz says its service is hosted on Amazon Web Services and emphasizes security, reliability, and availability; that assurance may matter to teams assessing hosted tools, though it is not a substitute for evaluating their own requirements.

Pricing

Yodiz has a free Starter plan and a 30-day trial. Starter costs nothing, billed monthly, and includes three users and unlimited projects. It is a practical way for a very small team to try the workflow, but teams above three people must move to a paid plan.

Issue Tracker costs $3 a month, billed monthly, and includes unlimited projects. Agile Tool costs $5 a month, billed monthly, and also includes unlimited projects. The published plan details do not establish which features distinguish these two paid tiers, so teams should confirm the fit before choosing between them rather than assume the lower-priced option includes the full agile toolkit.

Self Hosted uses custom pricing and includes premium support, all cloud features, and a dedicated account manager. It is the option to consider when self-hosting and dedicated assistance matter; the price needs to be weighed against that requirement. Premium support is also listed with Agile Tool.

Platforms

Yodiz supports web, Android, and iOS, along with an API, browser extensions, and self-hosted deployment. That gives teams several ways to access or connect the product, while mobile coverage is especially relevant for people managing sprint contents away from a desktop.

Who it's for

Yodiz is aimed at agile teams, including local and remote groups, that need backlog-to-release coordination and visibility across projects. It is less compelling for a team that needs a free workspace for more than three users, or one that cannot determine which paid tier matches its workflow.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Backlog analytics, sprint controls, release tracking, and cross-project reporting form a connected toolkit for agile delivery.
• Pro: Unlimited projects across plans avoids a project-count ceiling as teams take on more initiatives.
• Pro: Mobile apps, browser capture add-ons, integrations, and an API give teams multiple routes to manage or connect work.
• Con: Starter is capped at three users, limiting its usefulness as a free option for larger teams.
• Con: The paid tiers' feature differences are not clear from the plan details, making comparison between Issue Tracker and Agile Tool difficult.
• Con: Self Hosted has custom pricing, so teams cannot compare its cost directly from the stated price.

Alternatives

Ora is worth considering for teams that want a free plan for up to 10 users and unlimited projects, tasks, comments, and attachments. Linear may suit teams that value an unlimited-member free plan but can work within its two-team and 250-issue limits. YouTrack offers a free cloud plan for up to 10 users with 30 GB of storage, making it a candidate for teams whose main concern is the three-user Starter cap.

Azure Test Plans is another option to compare. Kanban Tool may fit a team seeking a free, board-centered option, though its free plan is limited to two boards and two users and has no file attachments. OpenProject is an alternative to consider. Plane has a free plan for 12 users and a Pro tier that includes time tracking and work logs, which may be preferable when a larger free team or those tracking features are priorities. Zoho Sprints offers a free plan for three users, three projects, and 500 MB of storage, so it is another small-team option to compare.

Verdict

Choose Yodiz if your agile team needs backlog analysis, sprint and release coordination, and reporting across unlimited projects in one system. The main reason to look elsewhere is the three-user free cap, compounded by the need to confirm which paid tier includes the capabilities you require.
