Automatically connected
Secure migration, proven at enterprise scale
Migrate safely with a partner experienced in mission-critical transitions. For BMW, we migrated over 100,000 records in a single project.
Predictable pricing, while Atlassian keeps climbing
Since 2019, Atlassian has raised Jira and Confluence prices every year, over 111% in total. sovara costs up to 30% less, with no hidden add-ons and no annual increases.
Choose the cloud that fits your organization
sovara is cloud agnostic. Run it on a European sovereign cloud, on Google or AWS, or fully on-premise. The choice is yours.
Deeply connect to the tools you already use
Connect sovara to the tools your organization already runs: GitLab, SAP, Microsoft, and many more. Connect via API, MCP, or AI agents.
Sovereign by design
We build and host in Europe. We operate under Swiss jurisdiction. Our infrastructure is CLOUD Act-free, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, and GDPR compliant.
sovara evolves fast
We ship new features and improvements continuously, shaped by what customers need. You always work on a platform that's up to date
Intuitive & powerful platform
All the power of Jira and Confluence, none of the complexity. sovara is fast to learn and easy to use, so your teams get productive from day one.
Plugins included, not invoiced
Native Groovy, Xray, multi-domain SSO, and content translation support. All paid plugins in Jira. All built into sovara.
AI-native Work Assistant
Accelerate every project with agents that understand your work. They think, recommend, and run tasks with the full context of your projects.
Universal context
Every agent knows what you're working on. They draw on your organization's knowledge to give answers grounded in your actual work.
Your stack, your AI
Connect your own AI endpoints, whether secure cloud or self-hosted LLMs. Choose the models that fit your teams and your stack.
Build your own agents
Create your own agents in minutes. Point them at a workflow, set how they should act, and switch them on.
Agents on autopilot
When a ticket comes in, an agent reads it, sets priority, and assigns the right owner. Build the rules once, and your workflows run themselves.
Testimonial
"rready prevailed against numerous other providers, including established industry heavyweights. Particularly convincing was the AI expertise, which was reflected not only in a solid AI strategy, but also in the consistent implementation. Even for complex and changing requirements, rready manages to adopt our perspective, develop novel solutions, and implement them in a short time."

Why now?
Atlassian Data Center support ends March 2029. Your costs, control, and data sovereignty are at risk.

Compare Hosting from sovara to Atlassian Cloud.
SaaS, private cloud, or full on-prem (Docker/Kubernetes) — the customer picks the deployment model, with EU & sovereign infrastructure (incl. STACKIT/IONOS) available across all three, not just the on-prem option. Data residency is contractually fixed rather than merely pinned to a region, and source-code escrow protects against vendor lock-in even for SaaS customers. Not open-source (proprietary, commercial) — the same closed-source status disclosed consistently for YouTrack, easy8 and Phonemos elsewhere in this matrix.
SaaS only — fully managed cloud on AWS. No on-prem/self-host in Cloud (self-hosting needs the separate Data Center product); not open-source. Strong data residency: pin in-scope data to dedicated EU (Frankfurt and Dublin), Germany (Frankfurt), Switzerland (Zurich), UK, plus US/Canada/AU/Japan/Singapore/Korea/India realms — available on Standard/Premium/Enterprise. Caveats: residency is single-region pinning on AWS (not sovereign/air-gapped, US-operated vendor); confirmed out of scope from pinning are user account info, third-party app data, and analytics data (US-hosted) — AI-processing, DevOps and audit-log data are also commonly cited as out of scope, but we could not independently confirm the exact current wording. Switzerland realm lacks the Atlassian Data Lake.
Project / Work Mgmt & PMO and Test Management have not yet been independently fact-checked — treat them as provisional. All other ratings have been.
