FogBugz vs Redmine

FogBugz is a project management and issue tracking system for software development teams. Bugs, issues, and feature requests become cases that can be prioritized and assigned to one person. Scrum, Kanban, Scrumban, custom workflows, roadmaps, and time tracking are supported. Evidence-Based Scheduling uses historical timesheet data to produce probability distributions for ship dates. Unified search spans documents, wikis, articles, code, issues, bugs, and discussions. Built-in integrations include Slack, Twitter, GitHub, Google Drive, and Trello, while API endpoints support third-party and custom integrations. An integrated support desk captures bug reports, requests, and inquiries for automatic triage. FogBugz is available on the web and as an On-Premise version running on customer servers. On-Premise requires Microsoft IIS and Microsoft SQL Server and supports Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016, and 2019. SAML 2.0 single sign-on supports Okta, OneLogin, ADFS, and Azure AD. Paid plans include a 14-day trial and no free plan. Listed pricing is $75 a month monthly, $68 a month for one year, $64 a month for two years, and $62 a month for three years; each listed plan covers five users.

Redmine is an open-source web application for managing projects, available for self-hosting. A single instance can manage multiple projects, each with its own roles, visibility settings, and enabled modules. Teams can define issue statuses and types, then set workflow transitions by issue type and role. Gantt charts and calendars use issue dates for planning, and time entries can be reported by user, issue type, category, or activity. Collaboration tools include project wikis and forums, news, document and file management, feeds, and email notifications. The repository browser supports Subversion, CVS, Mercurial, Bazaar, and Git. Its REST API provides basic create, update, and delete operations for documented resources in XML and JSON. Redmine is released under GNU GPL v2 and costs nothing for self-hosting. It should run on most Unix, Linux, macOS, and Windows systems where Ruby is available, but it does not support JRuby. The project directs users to forums and IRC for help and discussion. The download page identifies the 7.0.x branch as the latest stable version, with new features, bug fixes, and security updates.
