Overview

Shortcut gives product and engineering teams a shared backlog, Kanban views, sprint planning and documents. Epics and roadmaps connect individual stories to larger delivery goals, while integrations link the work to development tools. Free supports 10 users, one team and one workflow. Team expands to five teams and workflows and adds work-in-progress limits, automations and reporting. Business adds strategic objectives, advanced custom fields and multiple workspaces. SAML SSO and SCIM are paid Business add-ons or included in Enterprise; Google SSO is a separate entitlement. A 14-day full-access trial requires no credit card. Confirm annual metered billing and add-on terms before comparing totals.
