Scrum Mate

What Scrum Mate does

Scrum Mate is a cloud-based agile project management platform built and operated by Adaptive Consulting Ltd., a privately held Hungarian agile consulting firm headquartered in Budapest. Founded in 2011, the platform serves small and medium-sized organizations, particularly web and app development teams that need to coordinate work across multiple projects and clients. The product supports both Scrum and Kanban methodologies within a single workspace, with a differentiating multi-project team board that aggregates tasks from multiple clients into one shared workflow.

The platform is delivered via web and iOS with real-time cross-platform sync, and is built on a public REST API that exposes core resources (stories, tasks, sprints, work logs, organizations). Native integrations connect the product to Slack, GitHub, Google Hangouts Chat, and an email-to-backlog inbox. Core feature modules include Team Boards, Product Backlog (with topics, tags, groups, and dividers), Sprints, a Work Log / Timesheet module with a semi-automated Work Log Assistant, burndown and cumulative flow reporting with Excel export, and a personal "My Todos" dashboard. Backend hosting is distributed across Microsoft Azure and AWS, with Braintree/PayPal handling subscription billing and Taxamo managing EU VAT compliance.

Revenue is generated exclusively through tiered monthly subscriptions: Startup ($29/month, up to 7 users), Small ($59/month, up to 15 users), Medium ($99/month, up to 25 users), and Large ($199/month, up to 50 users), all including unlimited projects and boards. Distribution is fully product-led and self-serve, with 15- to 30-day free trials, direct web signup, and Apple App Store download. No external funding, institutional investors, or parent company were identified. Headcount is reported at 1–10, indicating a small, bootstrapped operating model that has sustained the product for over 14 years.

• Shortcut: Shortcut (formerly Clubhouse) is a project management tool built specifically for software teams using agile methodologies, offering Scrum and Kanban boards, sprints, and story tracking. It is a closely comparable competitor targeting the same developer/PM audience as Scrum Mate.

Broad incumbents

• Wrike: Wrike is a collaborative work management platform with agile project views, time tracking, and reporting for mid-market and enterprise teams. While broader than Scrum Mate, it competes for the same agile team budgets and offers overlapping sprint planning and board capabilities.
• Atlassian Jira: Atlassian's Jira is the dominant agile project management tool for software teams, supporting Scrum, Kanban, and sprint planning at enterprise scale. It is the most direct established competitor to Scrum Mate in agile methodology support, though it serves a much broader and more enterprise-focused customer base.
