In their own words
Gemini
Gemini is an enterprise task and issue-tracking product for help desk and IT support, project management, software development, and integrated testing. It combines reusable bug filters, cross-project search, dependency management, scheduling, and customizable workflows with agile planning for Scrum and Kanban. Teams can manage test plans and produce road maps, change logs, and Scrum burndown charts. Gemini connects with tools including Visual Studio, Outlook, Slack, GitHub, Bitbucket, Team Foundation Server, Subversion, Git, and Mercurial. It also offers a REST API, webhooks, an apps framework, and the Breeze app for turning inbound email into tickets. Gemini runs on the web, Windows, API, and self-hosted deployments. Cloud costs $10 a month per user, billed monthly, and includes unlimited projects and content and product support. Self-host costs 850.00 USD once for 10 users. Cloud hosting supports Forms authentication, but not Windows Authentication or Active Directory. Self-hosted Gemini 7.6.0 and later requires Windows Server 2019 or later, SQL Server 2019 or later, and TLS 1.2 or later.
Redmine
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.
