- Annual subscription for one self-hosted instance. Buy the smallest pack that covers your users.
- Same product in every pack: no feature tiers.
- Prices in USD, excl. VAT. Not for sale yet — start a pilot.
- Takt is 50% of YouTrack Server new-license list prices (JetBrains, USD, from 1 October 2025). Comparison only — not a YouTrack renewal price.
Not the same product. Same deployment class.
GitHub, GitLab and Azure DevOps Server are development platforms (code, and often CI). Jira and YouTrack are issue trackers. Takt is work management for the whole organisation, on your own machines.
You keep GitHub, GitLab or Azure DevOps Server. Takt will connect so a work item can be followed to the pull request, branch and code in the repo — from need to what actually changed. Takt does not become the git server. There is no live sync today; that row is marked Coming.

Three ways to start a pilot
Pick a bounded slice. Prove the link from decision to work.
Requirement to delivery
One business requirement as a work item, the team’s delivery, and a definition of success. Traceability from need to done.
Self-hosted
Install in your environment with PostgreSQL. Data stays put. Email sign-in and the CLI so the team can start quickly.
