Jira tells you which tickets are done. Not whether the project is still on budget.
Jira is where engineering work lives, and it is good at that. But a closed sprint says nothing about budget, cash flow, or whether the same three people are booked on four projects. Vaizy sits above Jira and answers those questions for every project at once.
Free for 14 days. No credit card needed.
The short version
Cross-project view
Boards and filters show issues across projects. Budget, cash flow, and team cost stay outside Jira.
Select multiple projects and see combined cash flow, shared team load, and risk in one view.
Budget health
No budget tracking built in. Teams add a marketplace app or keep the money side in a spreadsheet.
Cost and schedule performance (CPI and SPI) calculate automatically from your milestones and financials.
Shared people
Shows who has which tickets, not what that person costs or how full their week is across projects.
See each person's load across every project, including contractors split between clients.
AI on your data
Atlassian AI helps write and summarize issues. It cannot reason about project finances, because Jira does not hold them.
On the Pro plan, ask questions about your own projects and get answers grounded in your live workspace. Names are masked before anything reaches the AI model.
Living alongside Jira
Stays the place where developers plan and close their work. Nothing has to move.
Link a deliverable in Vaizy to its Jira issue and the link shows with a Jira badge, so people can jump straight to the ticket.
What Jira leaves for someone else to figure out
Jira answers the question a team lead asks: what is in progress? A portfolio manager gets a different question: are we still on budget, and who is overbooked next month? That answer usually gets rebuilt by hand, outside Jira.
With Jira only
Ticket progress looks fine while the budget quietly runs over, because hours and costs are tracked somewhere else.
With Vaizy
Budget health updates from the milestones and spending you track, so an overrun shows while there is still time to act.
With Jira only
A developer on three client projects shows up as three separate workloads, and nobody sees the total until a deadline slips.
With Vaizy
Team load is stacked across projects, so double bookings show before they cause a delay.
With Jira only
Leadership asks how the whole portfolio is doing, and someone exports issues to a spreadsheet to build the answer.
With Vaizy
Select the projects you want and see cash flow, team load, and risk stacked together, any day of the week.
With Jira only
Risks get logged as tickets in one project and are invisible from the next.
With Vaizy
One risk register covers every project, with owners, impact, and status in one place.

How pricing compares
Free for small teams, then per-user pricing on Standard, Premium, and Enterprise. Cross-team planning sits on Premium and up, and tracking costs usually means paying for a marketplace app on top.
Vaizy uses transparent, self-serve, per-seat pricing for Manager accounts, published on the pricing page with Essential and Pro tiers billed monthly or annually, plus an Enterprise tier available on request. Team members who need a scoped view get a Member seat. Essential includes 5 and Pro includes 10 during the beta, and extra seats are billed per seat. Nothing requires a sales call to see the price.
Common questions
Does Vaizy replace Jira?
No. If your developers plan sprints and track bugs in Jira, keep it there. Vaizy covers the layer above: budgets, cash flow, team load, and risk across all your projects. Deliverables in Vaizy can link straight to the matching Jira issue.
Does Vaizy sync with Jira?
Not today. Vaizy does not pull issues from Jira automatically. You can link deliverables to Jira issues, and import projects, milestones, team, risks, and budgets from a CSV or Excel export, with column matching and validation before anything is published.
What about portfolio planning on Jira Premium?
Jira's planning features help you schedule issues across teams. They do not track budgets, cash flow, or the cost of the people doing the work, which is where most portfolio problems start.
Why does EU hosting matter?
Vaizy is incorporated and hosted in the European Union, under Dutch law and GDPR. For teams handling client financial data under GDPR, that is often a requirement, not a preference.
