Why teams leave Jira for Taulu.
Jira is the system of record for engineering teams, but it's not where the team thinks together. Taulu brings your Jira board onto a canvas where stickies, diagrams, and the running kanban share the same space — so the standup, the retro, and the work itself all happen in one place. Your data stays in the EU and you only pay for people who actually edited that month.
Side-by-side,
honest.
Rows checked against shipped behaviour, not a sales deck. The bottom group lists what Jira still does better — the comparison is more useful when honest.

on Taulu.
Jira Free covers up to 10 users but no canvas, no voice. Once you need either — or pass 10 users — Jira Standard charges every seat; Taulu only charges the editors who moved a card that month.
Jira Standard

OAuth read-only. We never write back to Jira. Re-run the import any time to refresh.
-
Step 1
Connect Jira
From Settings → Integrations, click Connect Jira. We use Atlassian's read-only OAuth (read:jira-work, read:jira-user) — no permission to transition issues or write back.
-
Step 2
Pick the board
Browse your Jira sites, projects, and boards. Both Scrum and Kanban boards are supported.
-
Step 3
Import in seconds
Each Jira board becomes a Taulu kanban frame. Columns map by status. Issues become kanban cards keeping the issue key, summary, description (rich-text), assignee, reporter, priority, due date, labels, and subtasks (flattened into the card checklist). Attachments come across. Comments and issue links are counted in the summary.
What teams
ask first.
Are issue keys preserved?
Yes. PROJ-123 stays in the card title and as a structured field. We don't write back to Jira, so transitioning the card in Taulu doesn't move the Jira issue.
What about sprints?
The active sprint's issues are imported by default. You can choose to include closed sprints or only the current one. Sprint metadata is preserved on each card as a label.
Do Atlassian attachments come along?
Yes. Files attached to Jira issues are fetched and re-attached to the corresponding card in Taulu storage.
Can I keep Jira as the source of truth?
Yes. Many teams do. Taulu becomes the place to facilitate standup and retro on top of a snapshot of the Jira board, then run the actual transitions in Jira. Re-import to refresh.
Where does my data sit?
EU. Postgres, MinIO, and the voice SFU all run in EU regions. Jira's data residency depends on your Atlassian plan — many customers' data sits in the US or globally.
