Flocci Projects vs Shortcut: which fits your team in 2026?

Short answer: Choose Shortcut if you want a proven, engineering-focused tracker with mature reporting and can pay in dollars per user. Choose Flocci Projects if the price per seat matters at Indian scale, if you want AI backlog drafting on shared credits, or if you want cards linked to your wiki and calendar rather than a standalone tool.

Shortcut is a fast, lightweight tracker built for software teams: stories, epics, iterations (its sprints), roadmaps and reports. Its free plan supports up to 10 users with one team and one workflow; Team is $8.50/user/month and Business $12, where burndown and cycle-time reports live. It is a genuinely close philosophical neighbour to Flocci Projects — minus the INR pricing and the connected suite.

Where Shortcut is the better choice

Shortcut wins on maturity: docs, roadmaps, richer reporting (burndown, cycle time, cumulative flow on Business), deeper Git and CI integrations, and a free tier that supports 10 users rather than one. If your team is US-priced and engineering-only, Shortcut is a strong and unfussy choice.

Where Flocci Projects wins

The whole agile loop free: drag-and-drop Kanban, product backlog, native sprints, story points and velocity insights on the personal board.
INR-native pricing — team seats at ₹49/seat/month, optional Pro ₹499/month across every Flocci app, PayU and UPI billing.
AI backlog breakdown included via shared platform credits with a free monthly grant — never a per-user AI fee.
Issues link to Flocci Library wiki pages and push onto Flocci Calendar from inside the card.
One Google sign-in across Projects, Workspaces, Calendar, Library, Notes, Infinity whiteboards and Timesheets.

What Flocci Projects does not have

Stated plainly, because a comparison that hides this is worthless: Native iOS and Android apps (Flocci Projects is a responsive web app); Gantt / timeline view and dependency scheduling; A third-party integration marketplace or public API app directory; One-click importers from Jira, Trello, Asana or Linear; Burndown charts inside the sprint (velocity trend, progress and workload are the shipped analytics); Custom workflow builders, custom statuses or per-project column configuration.

Frequently asked questions

Is Shortcut cheaper than Flocci Projects?

No. Shortcut Team is $8.50/user/month — roughly ₹710 — against ₹49/seat/month here. Shortcut's free tier is more generous though: 10 users versus our single-player free board.

Does Shortcut have velocity and burndown?

Shortcut includes basic reports on the free plan and puts burndown and cycle-time reporting on the Business tier at $12/user/month. Flocci Projects includes average velocity, a per-sprint velocity trend, status distribution and workload for free — but has no in-sprint burndown chart.

How similar are the two products?

Very, at the core: typed work items, epics, estimates, iterations/sprints and a board. The differences are pricing currency, our shared-credit AI backlog drafting, our cross-app links to a wiki and calendar, and Shortcut's deeper reporting and integrations.

When is Shortcut the better choice?

When you need mature agile reporting, a free tier for a 10-person team, or tight Git and CI workflow integration, and dollar pricing is not a barrier.
