What Axosoft does

Axosoft is a private software company that provides agile project management and bug tracking tools primarily to software development teams. Originally founded in 2002 under the name OnTime, the company rebranded to Axosoft in 2014 alongside a refreshed user interface. It is headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, and operates as Axosoft, LLC DBA GitKraken following the 2020 acquisition of its Git tools division by Resurgens Technology Partners, a private equity firm. The company employs 11–50 people and markets primarily to small, mid-market, and select enterprise customers across software development, technology consulting, and media/production industries.

The company's core product, Axosoft Scrum and Bug Tracking, delivers sprint and release planning (Release Planner), a kanban-style Card View, custom dashboards for velocity and projected ship date, and bug/defect tracking. An add-on Help Desk and Wiki module extends the platform with email-to-ticket conversion, customer self-service portal, and unlimited wiki documentation. The software is built on the .NET Framework with a SQL Server backend and is delivered as either a hosted SaaS subscription or an on-premise install requiring Windows Server, IIS, and SQL Server. The platform exposes a RESTful API (currently v6) with OAuth2 authentication and integrates with 30+ third-party tools spanning version control (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket), communication (Slack, HipChat), time tracking (Toggl, Clockify, Harvest), CRM (HubSpot), and CI/CD (TeamCity, VSTS). SOC 1 Type II certification covers the hosted infrastructure.

Axosoft monetizes through a mix of SaaS subscriptions, on-premise perpetual licenses, annual maintenance contracts, and professional services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is primarily direct via the company website, with self-service trials, an online store (store.axosoft.com) for installed license purchases, and sales-assisted evaluation for enterprise prospects. There is no disclosed AI/ML capability, and the current product strategy appears centered on maintaining a stable, integration-rich agile platform within the broader GitKraken developer tools portfolio.

Direct peers

• Atlassian Jira: Jira is the market-leading Scrum/issue-tracking product for software teams. It directly overlaps Axosoft's Scrum & Bug Tracking core offering across sprint planning, kanban boards, and bug tracking, making it the closest direct competitor.
• Targetprocess: Targetprocess is an agile project management and ALM platform offering Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe support. It targets the same software-team agile buyer as Axosoft with comparable feature depth and customization.
• GitHub Projects: GitHub Projects and Issues deliver Scrum/Kanban-style agile tracking natively inside GitHub. Because Axosoft relies on GitHub as a Core integration, GitHub Projects is both a partner and a direct competitor for SCM-adjacent teams.
• Microsoft Azure DevOps: Azure DevOps (formerly VSTS/TFS) provides work item tracking, sprint planning, and SCM-integrated agile tooling to enterprise software teams, directly competing with Axosoft's installed and hosted Scrum offerings.

Emerging players

• Zoho Projects: Zoho Projects offers Scrum, Kanban, bug tracking, and time tracking in a cost-effective suite. It competes with Axosoft for SMB and mid-market buyers seeking bundled agile tooling at lower price points.
• ClickUp: ClickUp offers agile project management, sprint views, and bug tracking with a broad horizontal feature set. It competes with Axosoft for mid-market and SMB software teams looking for an all-in-one work platform.
• Linear: Linear is a modern, opinionated issue-tracking and project-management tool for software teams. It targets the same Scrum/Kanban buyer as Axosoft but with a more contemporary UX and stronger engineering-team momentum.

Broad incumbents

• Asana: Asana is a major horizontal project and task management platform that competes for the same planning, sprint, and release-tracking workflows as Axosoft, particularly outside engineering-only teams.
• Smartsheet: Smartsheet is a work-execution platform with agile-style views and integrations. It overlaps with Axosoft on planning and tracking for project-driven organizations and is often evaluated alongside tools like Axosoft.
• Monday.com: Monday.com is a broad work-management platform that includes agile-style boards and project tracking. It overlaps Axosoft's horizontal project-management footprint, especially with non-engineering and cross-functional buyers.
