Why Developers Switch from Jira

🐌

Too Complex

Jira's enterprise features create overhead for small teams. Most developers use 10% of features but pay for 100%.

🤖

No AI Integration

Jira wasn't built for AI workflows. No MCP support means copy-pasting between AI and your issue tracker.

⏱️

Weeks to Configure

Setting up Jira "the right way" takes weeks of configuration. Erold is ready in minutes.
