Tired of Paying More
for Less Control?
GForge Next replaces Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and more — at a fraction of the cost. SaaS, managed hosting, or on-premise: you choose. Find out what you'd save in under five minutes.
Why Teams Are Leaving Atlassian
It's not one thing. It's the accumulation of decisions Atlassian made for you — and billed you for.
Runaway Price Increases
Atlassian has raised Cloud prices 40–75% since 2023, with no ceiling in sight. Your next renewal will hurt more than the last one.
Forced Cloud Migration
Server licenses ended in 2024. Data Center pricing is out of reach for most teams. Atlassian made the choice for you — and charged you for the privilege.
Zero Data Sovereignty
Your IP, roadmaps, and code all live on Atlassian's infrastructure. Regulated industries, government contractors, and security-conscious teams have no good on-prem path.
Five Tools, Five Invoices
Jira. Confluence. Bitbucket. Crowd. Bamboo. Each billed separately, each requiring its own admin, integrations, and renewal negotiation.
Opaque, Unpredictable Billing
User tiers, storage add-ons, Premium features — the final invoice never matches the estimate. Budget planning becomes guesswork.
Complexity That Outlasted Its Usefulness
Custom fields, complex workflows, and years of project sprawl built up in an ecosystem that charges you to maintain every bit of it.
Everything Atlassian Does — In One Place
GForge Next isn't a partial alternative. It replaces your entire Atlassian stack and then gives you options Atlassian took away.

Three Deployment Options. One Platform.
SaaS, managed hosting, and on-premise are not a good/better/best spectrum — they're different answers to different organizational needs. All three run the identical GForge Next platform at the same per-seat rate.
SaaS
Hosted & managed by GForge
The fastest way to get started. Log in and get started right now.
- Full platform — every feature included
- Sneak preview new features every month
- Automatic upgrades & daily backups
- 99.9% uptime SLA
- Up and running in minutes
Managed Hosting
Dedicated instance, GForge-operated
A single-tenant environment — your data on dedicated infrastructure, operated by GForge. Right for organizations that need isolation, a specific cloud region, or compliance controls without building an ops team.
- Same per-seat license as SaaS
- Dedicated instance — no shared tenants
- Your choice of cloud region
- Custom domain & compliance-ready config
- All backups, upgrades & ops managed by GForge
On-Premise
Your infrastructure, your control
Deploy inside your own data center, private VPC, or air-gapped network. Required for classified environments, strict data-residency rules, or organizations that need to run multiple independent installations.
- Same per-seat license rate as SaaS
- Deploy on-prem or in your own VPC
- Air-gap & classified-network capable
- Multiple independent installs supported
- Annual license and GForge Priority Support
