Why people move from Jooto to Pinateca

You can try it as a team, for free

Jooto is free for one person. The second person makes it a paid plan. Pinateca is free for five, so a team can see how it feels before deciding.

You can add your own fields to a card

Jooto only has the fields it ships with. In Pinateca you add estimated hours, priority, client name, or whatever your team needs.

Chat is inside

Jooto pushes the conversation out to Slack or Chatwork. Pinateca has a channel per workspace.

05

When Jooto is the better choice

Each tool is better at some things. If any of the following describes you, staying with Jooto will work out better.

  • You only want to keep working the way you do until the service ends. Under the terms it runs until 31 July 2027
  • You want to follow the migration path the vendor announced, which points at Backlog
06

Moving your data

There is no automatic import from Jooto. Moving is done by hand. There is a deadline on this one, so it is worth deciding where to go early.
