Ask HN: Pivotal Tracker EOL; Emigrant Stories?

5•quesera•9mo ago
Pivotal Tracker will EOL on 2025-04-30 [0].

If you have emigrated from Pivotal Tracker to a new tracker, what are your experiences? Good, bad, or indifferent.

Our team's initial list of candidates for investigation looked like this (some with greater resemblance to Tracker than others, and omitting the obvious options that no one was willing to settle for):

  - Linear
  - Shortcut
  - Click Up
  - Pivotal Replacement
  - Planisphere
  - LiteTracker
  - Taiga
And there's another list of candidates here: https://bye-tracker.net/

...

Now that we (HN) have all had time to look around, are there any strong recommendations, for or against?

We ($employer) have migrated already, but before fully committing, would appreciate hearing the experiences of others.

Linear is the move. Do not consider Shortcut.

We picked BARDTracker (https://www.bardtracker.com) and so far have been generally very satisfied with that decision.

Big for us was the fact that BT had the ability to grab all the details of our Pivotal Tracker project through the Pivotal API, rather than just from the CSV export (which they also can do). It's unclear whether as of today, 1 May 2025, API access at Pivotal is still an option, but I suspect it may not be.

BARDTracker seemed also to be the closest to PT's UX. Nobody in our shop really wanted to rush to learn a new paradigm right now, so that was another important factor.

Their developers have been remarkably responsive to bug reports, feature requests and suggestions.

The only issue that we've encountered is that performance is a little slow, at least in the Web app; I have not tried their Mobile version yet. My understanding is that this is the area they are focusing on presently.

Lastly, they haven't initiated billing yet, so it was zero-cost onboarding. I hope they figure this out soon, because it's a good product that we'd be happy to pay for; their "early adopter" rate of $5/mo/user is more than reasonable and I hope they're able to make it be sustainable in whatever way PT proved not to be for Broadcom.
