Why Scrums.com is the Best Jellyfish Alternative

You shouldn't need a sales call to find out what engineering intelligence costs. Scrums.com publishes its pricing, with no enterprise contract cycle required to get a number.

Pricing You Can See Before You Call

Jellyfish doesn't publish a price. If you need budget approval or are running a competitive evaluation, you have to complete a sales process before you have a number to work with. Scrums.com publishes its pricing openly. Platform and talent rates are both available before the first conversation.

Engineering-Level Signal, Not Just Executive Reporting

Jellyfish is built for cross-functional and board-level visibility: where is engineering time going, what is the ROI. Scrums.com's engineering intelligence platform gives engineering managers the team-level data they need day to day: DORA metrics, SPACE metrics, sprint velocity, and CI/CD performance. Both layers, in one platform.

Capacity Insight and Delivery Capacity Together

Jellyfish identifies where engineering capacity is constrained. Acting on that insight still requires a separate hiring or staffing process. Scrums.com gives you the same visibility and 10,000+ AI-vetted engineers deployable in 21 days. The gap between knowing and fixing is 21 days, not a quarter.

What sets Scrums.com apart

A Price Before You Need to Negotiate

Jellyfish's enterprise pricing model means your finance team cannot evaluate the cost without completing a sales process first. Budget forecasting requires a quote that requires a call that requires scoping. Scrums.com publishes its pricing openly. For engineering leaders who need to move quickly, get internal approvals, or compare total cost of ownership accurately, the numbers are available before the first conversation. No enterprise contract cycle required to find out what engineering intelligence costs.

Both Levels of Visibility in One Platform

Jellyfish is designed to show business stakeholders where engineering effort is going. That is a useful layer. But engineering managers need different data for the work they do every day: sprint metrics, CI/CD performance, DORA and SPACE benchmarks. Scrums.com covers both levels without two separate tools or two separate platform costs. For engineering leaders in financial services, our fintech engineering playbook covers applying these frameworks in a regulated environment.

The Team to Act on What the Data Shows

Jellyfish surfaces capacity constraints and misaligned investment. Acting on those insights still requires finding engineers separately. Scrums.com's engineering intelligence platform surfaces the same signals and connects them to 10,000+ AI-vetted engineers deployable in 21 days. From insight to additional delivery capacity without a separate staffing engagement or a new procurement cycle.

What this means for your team

CTOs and VPs of Engineering

Jellyfish gives your board a clean view of engineering ROI. That is worth having. But it does not give your engineering team the sprint-level data they need to operate, and it does not give you engineers to deploy when capacity is the constraint. Scrums.com gives you the executive layer and the operational layer, plus 10,000+ engineers when you need delivery capacity. With published pricing and 21-day deployment, the platform does more than an enterprise analytics contract with no published price.

Engineering Managers

Jellyfish reporting is primarily built for the stakeholders above you. Scrums.com's engineering intelligence platform is built for the work you do every day: sprint metrics, CI/CD performance, DORA and SPACE benchmarks, AI-assisted code review. If you need additional engineering capacity to close a delivery gap, Scrums.com provides that in the same engagement, without a separate process.

Procurement and Finance Leaders

Jellyfish pricing is not published. To build a business case or run a competitive evaluation, you go through a sales cycle before you have a cost figure. Scrums.com publishes its pricing openly. Costs are visible before the first meeting. Scale up, scale down, or cancel with one month's notice. No hidden platform fees.
