Kitsu
Kitsu is a collaboration and production-tracking platform for animation, VFX, and game studios. Teams can schedule and assign tasks, balance workloads, update task statuses, and discuss work. Its review engine organizes shots and assets into playlists, gathers feedback, and retains preview versions for comparison; dashboards support production-progress reporting to partners. Production scheduling, budget tracking, and crew and cast management are also listed. Kitsu is available on the web and through Linux, macOS, Windows, API, and self-hosted options. Named integrations include Blender, Harmony, Unreal Engine, Slack, Mattermost, Discord, Python, and JavaScript. Subscriptions include REST routes, an event stream, and API full-text search. Kitsu is free and open-source software that users can install and use at no cost; the maker describes self-hosting as suitable for freelancers, small studios, or non-profit projects with limited budgets. Cloud subscriptions include user support, with training sessions and a dedicated Discord channel also available. All plans include a two-week trial with every feature and unlimited user access. Annual cloud plans list Agency at €20.00 per year, Production at €30.00 per year, and Studio at €35.00 per year; Enterprise has no listed price.
