Jira vs Corcava: Simpler Agile Stack for Small Teams

Is Jira's complexity killing your small team's productivity? Discover why development teams under 50 people are switching to Corcava's all-in-one platform that replaces Jira + Clockify + FreshBooks + Slack with one unified system.

The Jira Problem for Small Teams

Your 8-person development team is paying for:

• Jira Software: $77.60/month (Premium tier needed for useful features)
• Clockify: $99.90/month (Pro plan for time tracking)
• FreshBooks: $360/month (Plus plan for 8 users)
• Slack: $64/month (Pro plan)
• Total: $601.50/month = $7,218/year

And you're still struggling with:

• ❌ Context switching hell - Four tabs open constantly
• ❌ Data silos - Time tracked in Clockify doesn't link to Jira tasks
• ❌ Manual invoice creation - Copy time from Clockify to FreshBooks manually
• ❌ Jira complexity - 80% of features you'll never use
• ❌ Setup nightmare - Weeks to configure Jira workflows properly
• ❌ No client visibility - Clients can't see project progress without screenshots

The Alternative:

• Corcava: $72/month for 8 users
• $7,056/year savings
• One login, one interface, zero integrations

But is it really that simple? Let's dive deep into the comparison.

At a Glance: Jira vs Corcava

Quick Comparison Table

Bottom Line:

• Choose Jira if you're a dedicated software product team with complex workflows and need enterprise-grade customization
• Choose Corcava if you're a dev shop, agency, or small team that needs to manage clients, track billable time, and invoice efficiently

Feature-by-Feature Comparison

1. Project Management & Issue Tracking

Jira Software:

✅ Strengths:

• Multiple project types - Scrum, Kanban, Bug tracking, Custom
• Advanced workflow customization - Unlimited statuses, transitions, conditions
• Issue types and subtasks - Epic → Story → Task → Subtask hierarchy
• Custom fields - Unlimited custom fields with complex logic
• Advanced querying (JQL) - Powerful query language for filtering
• Release management - Version tracking, release notes, roadmap
• Sprint planning - Dedicated sprint board, backlog grooming, velocity charts
• Automation rules - Trigger actions based on issue changes

❌ Limitations:

• Overwhelming complexity - Too many options for small teams
• Slow to set up - Requires extensive configuration
• No client context - Built for internal dev teams, not client work
• No time-to-invoice - Doesn't connect to billing

Typical Setup:

Week 1: Create project, configure workflows, set up issue types
Week 2: Configure custom fields, automation rules, notifications
Week 3: Train team on Jira conventions
Week 4: Adjust based on team feedback

Result: 4 weeks to productive use

Corcava:

✅ Strengths:

• Simple Kanban boards - Visual task management out of the box
• Client-linked projects - Every project connects to a client
• Time tracking integration - Tasks show time tracked directly on cards
• Client portal ready - Clients can view project progress immediately
• Fast setup - Create project and board in 10 minutes
• Billable time focus - Built for billing clients, not just tracking work
• Task comments & attachments - Team collaboration built-in

❌ Limitations:

• Less workflow customization - Simpler than Jira's advanced workflows
• No complex hierarchies - Project → Board → Task (no subtasks)
• Fewer custom fields - Basic customization vs. Jira's unlimited
• No query language - Simpler filtering vs. JQL

Typical Setup:

Hour 1: Create project, add team members, create first board
Hour 2: Add tasks, configure labels, set up time tracking

Result: 2 hours to productive use

Winner: Jira for complex product development, Corcava for client-focused dev work

2. Time Tracking

Jira Software:

⚠️ Time Logging (Estimates, not Billing):

• Time estimates - Add estimates to issues
• Original estimate - Initial time prediction
• Remaining estimate - How much work is left
• Time spent - Manual logging of time worked
• Worklog - Log work with comments

❌ Why It's Not Enough for Billable Work:

• No automatic tracking - Must manually remember to log time
• Estimate-focused, not actual - Built for sprint planning, not billing
• No timer - Can't start/stop tracking in real-time
• No invoice integration - Time data doesn't feed billing
• Forgotten time - Easy to forget to log time after the fact

What Teams Actually Do:

Use Jira for sprint planning and estimates
Use Clockify ($9.99/user/month) for actual time tracking
Manually reconcile the two at end of sprint
Still lose 20-30% of billable time to forgotten entries

Corcava:

✅ Billing-Focused Time Tracking:

• Automatic desktop app - Track time with start/stop/continue
• Manual time entry - Add time through web interface
• Task-level tracking - Time automatically linked to tasks
• Screenshot capture - Optional screenshots for client verification
• Real-time display - See tracked time on task cards immediately
• Billable/non-billable - Mark time as billable or internal
• Invoice integration - Time feeds directly into invoicing
• Time reports - Detailed reports by project, client, team member

✅ Why It Works for Billable Work:

• Nothing forgotten - Automatic tracking captures all time
• Client proof - Screenshots provide billing justification
• Immediate invoicing - Time → Invoice in 2 clicks
• Team accountability - See who's tracking time on what

Time Tracking Comparison:

Winner: Corcava (designed for billable work, not just estimates)

3. Sprint Planning & Agile Workflows

Jira Software:

✅ Best-in-Class Agile Tools:

• Scrum boards - Dedicated sprint planning interface
• Backlog management - Grooming, prioritization, estimation
• Sprint creation - Drag stories from backlog to sprint
• Velocity charts - Track team velocity over time
• Burndown charts - Monitor sprint progress
• Sprint reports - Detailed sprint retrospective data
• Story points - Built-in story point field and tracking
• Epic tracking - Link stories to epics, track epic progress

✅ Advanced Features:

• Dependency tracking - Link issues with blocks/depends relationships
• Release planning - Multi-sprint roadmap
• Version management - Track features by release version
• Sprint goals - Document sprint objectives
• Retrospective templates - Built-in retro support

Corcava:

✅ Simple Sprint Management:

• Kanban boards as sprints - Create board per sprint
• Task estimation - Time estimates on tasks
• Label organization - Use labels for story points/priorities
• Time-based velocity - Track actual hours per sprint
• Sprint reports - Time reports filtered by sprint date range
• Task movement - Drag tasks through workflow columns

❌ What's Missing:

• No dedicated sprint planning interface
• No built-in burndown charts
• No epic tracking
• No dependency visualization
• Must use boards + time reports instead of specialized sprint tools

Workaround for Agile in Corcava:

Sprint Planning:
1. Create board named "Sprint 23 (Jan 15-28)"
2. Add tasks with time estimates in "amount" field
3. Assign team members
4. Track time as work progresses
5. Use time reports to calculate velocity

Works for teams using simplified agile, not full Scrum.

6. Client Management & Transparency

Jira Software:

❌ Not Built for Client Work:

• No CRM features
• No client portal
• No client-facing reports
• Not designed for external stakeholders

Workarounds Teams Use:

Option 1: Create separate "client view" projects
- Limited permissions for external users
- Requires careful permission management
- Not designed for this use case

Option 2: Use screenshots/screen sharing
- Take screenshots of Jira boards for client updates
- Share screen during status calls
- Manual and time-consuming

Option 3: Duplicate data to client-facing tool
- Maintain status in Jira AND client portal separately
- Double work, easy to get out of sync

Result: No good solution for client transparency

Corcava:

✅ Built for Client-Facing Work:

• Full CRM - Manage client relationships, contacts, deals
• Client portal - Clients log in to see their projects
• Project visibility - Clients see task progress in real-time
• Time transparency - Optional time tracking visibility

• See current project status
• View all tasks and their workflow stages
• Track time invested (if you enable it)
• Review and pay invoices
• Download project files and deliverables
• Communicate directly on tasks
• View project history and archives

Use Case:

Development Agency Workflow:

1. Sales (CRM):
   - Lead comes in from website form
   - Added to CRM as contact
   - Move through deal pipeline
   - Convert to client when deal won

2. Project Delivery:
   - Create project for client
   - Add tasks to project board
   - Track time on development work
   - Client sees progress in real-time via portal

3. Billing:
   - Generate invoice from tracked time
   - Client views invoice in portal
   - Client pays directly (Stripe or crypto)
   - Payment auto-recorded

All in one system. Client never leaves your portal.
