Description
Small software teams often outgrow Trello's simplicity but don't want Jira's setup overhead and complexity. Gryphin aims at that middle ground — sprint planning, a timeline view, and light AI automation on one board, sized specifically for teams of ten or fewer instead of trying to serve every company size.
Gryphin provides multiple project views (Kanban board, calendar, timeline/Gantt, dashboard) on a single board. It enables sprint planning with story points and burndown tracking, workflow automation with 11 triggers and 13 actions, timeline management for dependency tracking, and dashboard analytics for throughput and cycle time. The platform includes 46 templates across 17 categories, built-in board chat and whiteboard, and one-click Trello import.
💬 Our review
The short version: Gryphin is worth trying if Trello feels too basic for your team's sprints but Jira feels like overkill — it's specifically positioned and priced for small software teams rather than trying to serve every company size.
Against Jira (far more powerful and configurable, but a real setup and maintenance burden most small teams don't want) or Trello (simpler and free for basic boards, but no built-in sprint planning or burndown tracking), Gryphin sits in between. Linear is a strong modern alternative for engineering-focused teams and is generally considered slicker for pure software work, though Gryphin's flat pricing and multiple view types (calendar, Gantt, dashboard) make it competitive for a broader small-team use case beyond just engineering. At $39/month flat for up to 10 seats, it undercuts most per-seat competitors' equivalent tier once you have a few people, though it's worth checking your team's actual AI usage against the Team tier's 250 actions/month cap before committing over the pricier Pro tier.
