Project management for startups
Ember is calm, privacy-first project management built for small startups. Move fast without bloat, keep your team aligned, and start free — with flat, predictable pricing as you grow.
Lean by default, calm as you scale
Early teams don't need an enterprise process — they need to ship. Ember gives you the smallest set of features that keep a startup aligned, and nothing that slows you down.
Start free, scale on flat pricing
Every account is free for up to 2 collaborators, with unlimited projects and tasks. When you grow, it's a flat €5/seat/month — no per-feature upsells or surprise tiers eating your runway.
Aligned without constant check-ins
Pull-based collaboration keeps the whole team on the same source of truth. No notification overload, no status-meeting theatre — people see what's next and get on with it.
No tool to administer
Skip the schemes, workflows, and automations that turn into a part-time job. Ember has simple fixed task states, so a founder wearing five hats doesn't have to wear a sixth.
Set up once, stay clear as you grow
Workspaces map to teams or product areas, projects live inside them, and access is just Owner or Member. It stays legible from two people to twenty.
Privacy that protects your company
Ember is built in the European Union and GDPR-compliant by design. No behavioral analytics, no session recording, no ad networks, and no AI trained on your content. Export your data any time — no lock-in as you grow.

Startup questions, answered
Is Ember free for early-stage startups?
Yes. Ember is free for up to 2 collaborators with unlimited projects and tasks, so an early team can start at no cost. Beyond two people it's a flat €5/seat/month, with a 14-day free trial and education/nonprofit discounts.
Does Ember scale as the team grows?
Yes. Workspaces map to teams or product areas with simple Owner/Member access, so the same setup stays clear from two people to twenty — without adding configuration overhead.
How is Ember different from Jira or Asana for startups?
Ember deliberately leaves out sprints, automations, dashboards, and notification feeds. For a small startup, those are usually overhead, not value. Ember keeps a calm, focused core so the team ships instead of managing the tool.
Is our startup's data private with Ember?
Yes. Ember is built in the EU and GDPR-compliant by design — no behavioral tracking, no ads, no selling data, and no AI trained on your content. You can export everything at any time.
Can the whole team use Ember on any platform?
Yes. Ember has native desktop apps for macOS, Windows, and Linux plus a web app, so a mixed startup team can all work the same way.
