Tuleap is still active, but its owner changed. Dassault Systèmes acquired Enalean, the Chambéry company that develops Tuleap, in March 2026, and CFNEWS reported that the deal covered its entire share capital. Tuleap now presents itself as part of Dassault Systèmes, and Dassault presents it alongside CATIA for software-defined products.
Tuleap remains open source and is offered in the cloud or on-premises, with Enterprise prices on request. It puts trackers, agile planning, Git and Subversion hosting, documents and test management in one tool, so a replacement usually means one or two products. The list starts with the open source planning tools, then the platforms that add code hosting. Prices are in US dollars unless marked in euros.
Prices below are as of November 8, 2026. Our method is on How we review tools.

OpenProject
OpenProject covers the planning half of Tuleap: work packages, Gantt timelines, agile boards, custom workflows, time tracking and a wiki. Like Tuleap it is open source, made in Europe, and offered both in the cloud and on your own servers, which keeps procurement and data residency arguments the same.
The OpenProject pricing page keeps the Community edition free. Basic costs €5.95 and Professional €10.95 per user per month with a 25-user minimum, Premium is €15.95 with a 100-user minimum, and Corporate is on request. Yearly terms run from one to five years.
Best for: European teams that want open source project management with a paid support path.
Pricing:
- Community: free
- Basic: €5.95 per user per month, 25-user minimum
- Professional: €10.95 per user per month, 25-user minimum
- Premium: €15.95 per user per month, 100-user minimum; Corporate on request
- Terms of 1 month (Cloud Basic only, +€1 per user) or 1 to 5 years
Watch out for:
- Single sign-on starts at Professional and LDAP group sync at Premium, so a 25-person team needing SSO pays at least €273.75 a month.
- There is no Git hosting. Git and Subversion repository integration is available on-premises only.
Official site: OpenProject.
Redmine
Redmine is the plain, no-cost choice. It handles multiple projects, issue tracking with custom fields and workflows, Gantt charts, a calendar, wikis, forums and a repository browser for Git, Subversion and Mercurial. It is written in Ruby on Rails and licensed under GPL v2.
The project is well maintained. The Redmine site lists 7.0.3, 6.1.6 and 6.0.12, all released on November 1, 2026, so three branches still receive fixes.
Best for: Self-hosters who want a free tracker and accept plugins for the rest.
Pricing:
- Free and open source, GPL v2
- Paid hosting and plugins from third parties
Watch out for:
- Agile boards, test management and a modern interface come from third-party plugins and themes, which must be kept compatible after each upgrade.
- It browses repositories but does not host them, so Git hosting and code review need another tool.
Official site: Redmine.
GitLab
Teams that used Tuleap mostly for Git, pull requests and trackers can move it all into GitLab. Issues, boards, milestones, merge requests, CI/CD and a package registry live in one application, and it can be self-managed like Tuleap's on-premises edition.
The GitLab pricing page starts at Free, then Premium at $29 per user per month billed annually, with Ultimate on request. Lighter Git forges are compared on our GitLab alternatives page.
Best for: Development teams that want code, CI and issue tracking under one login.
Pricing:
- Free: $0, 400 compute minutes a month, 5 users per private group on GitLab.com
- Premium: $29 per user per month, billed annually
- Ultimate: contact sales
Watch out for:
- Requirements management and test cases sit in Ultimate, the tier with no public price, so traceability work that Tuleap does gets expensive.
- Self-managed GitLab needs 8 vCPU and 16 GB of RAM as a single-node baseline.
Official site: GitLab.
Jira
Jira is the commercial default for Scrum and Kanban tracking, with configurable workflows, roadmaps and thousands of Marketplace apps. Test management and requirements tracing, which Tuleap ships built in, come from those apps.
Teams of 10 or fewer can use Jira for free. Atlassian's list prices from October 13, 2026 put Standard at $9.70 and Premium at $19.60 per user per month for teams of up to 100 users, billed monthly. Per-user rates fall as the team grows.
Best for: Teams that are fine with cloud hosting and want the largest app ecosystem.
Pricing:
- Free: up to 10 users
- Standard: $9.70 per user per month for up to 100 users, billed monthly
- Premium: $19.60 per user per month for up to 100 users, billed monthly
- Enterprise: contact sales
Watch out for:
- New customers can only buy Cloud. Atlassian stopped selling new Data Center licences to them on March 30, 2026, and most Data Center products reach end of life on March 28, 2029.
- Test management apps such as Xray or Zephyr are billed on top of the Jira seat price.
Official site: Jira.
Taiga
Taiga is a lighter agile tool with backlogs, sprints, Kanban boards, epics and an issue tracker, and it is easier to learn than Tuleap's tracker configuration. The code is open source and can be self-hosted, or you can use Taiga's cloud.
The Taiga pricing page allows 1 private project with up to 3 members and 300 MB of storage for free, plus unlimited public projects. Paid seats cost $5 per member per month billed yearly or $7 billed monthly, and you pay only for active users.
Best for: Small agile teams that want Scrum and Kanban without ALM overhead.
Pricing:
- Free: 1 private project, up to 3 members, 300 MB
- Paid: $5 per member per month billed yearly, or $7 billed monthly
- Education and NGOs: $1 per user per month, 50-user minimum
Watch out for:
- Its future is split. The team announced Tenzu as the successor to Taiga in September 2024, while Taiga's cloud service keeps running Taiga 6.
- There is no code hosting, document management or test management.
Official site: Taiga.
Phorge
For Tuleap users who want tasks, code review and repository hosting in one self-hosted package, Phorge comes closest without the GitLab footprint. It is the community fork of Phabricator: Maniphest for tasks and workboards, Differential for review, Diffusion for Git, Subversion and Mercurial hosting, and Phriction for wiki pages.
It is free under Apache 2.0 and runs on PHP 7.2.25 or newer, per the 2025.18 changelog. Other replacements for this stack are on our Phabricator alternatives page.
Best for: Engineering teams that want self-hosted tasks, review and repos with no licence fee.
Pricing:
- Free and open source, Apache 2.0
- No official hosted plan
Watch out for:
- Planning is basic next to Tuleap. There are no built-in Gantt charts, test campaigns or requirements traceability.
- Releases are rare and small volunteer maintainers run the project.
Official site: Phorge.

When to stay with Tuleap
Stay on Tuleap if you rely on its traceability between requirements, code and tests, or on its document and test management for audits. None of the free picks here does all of that in one install, and GitLab and Jira only match it with top tiers or paid apps. Ask Enalean for a Cloud or on-premises quote before rebuilding your process elsewhere.
Frequently asked questions
Is Tuleap free?
Tuleap is open source, and the community edition can be self-hosted at no licence cost. Tuleap does not publish prices; Cloud and on-premises offers are quoted on request.
Who owns Tuleap?
Tuleap is developed by Enalean, a French company based in Chambéry. Dassault Systèmes acquired all of Enalean's share capital in March 2026.
What is the best open source alternative to Tuleap?
OpenProject for planning, Gantt and agile boards, and Redmine for a free tracker with wikis. For code hosting and CI alongside issues, GitLab's free edition is the most complete option.
Is Tuleap better than Jira?
For regulated work that needs requirements, tests and documents linked in one tool, Tuleap covers more without add-ons, and it can still run on your own servers. Jira has the larger app ecosystem and integrations, but new customers can only buy it as Cloud.
