Redmine

What is Redmine?

Issue tracker and project manager with Gantt charts, wikis, forums and time logs per project.

Who is Redmine best for?

Redmine is best for engineering and IT teams that want issue tracking tied to Git or Subversion on their own server.

• Teams that live in their repository

  Issues link to commits in Subversion, Git, Mercurial, Bazaar or CVS, and new issues can arrive by email.

• Many projects under one roof

  Each project gets its own issues, wiki, forum, files and role-based permissions.

• Tracking time against work

  Time tracking and custom fields on issues, time entries, projects and users feed reporting.

• Extending the core

  A plugin and theme directory on redmine.org lists community add-ons that extend it.

How much does Redmine cost?

Redmine is entirely free under the GPL v2 or later, with no paid edition or official cloud; you pay only for your own server or a third-party host.

Redmine has no paid edition, hosted plan or seat price. It is built and maintained by volunteers and accepts donations. Other companies sell Redmine hosting, but they are not part of the project. Full pricing on github.com. We checked these prices on 8 Nov 2026.
