Praxis or Jira for the way your team works?

Praxis is a project tracker built around people and the AI apps they already run. Jira combines configurable project management with the Atlassian ecosystem. Both can connect AI clients through MCP.

01 / Praxis and Jira

Decide what the tracker should do

In Praxis, your AI app files tickets, claims work, records decisions and releases a claim with an outcome. Dependencies determine which work is ready; GitHub events can move tickets forward. The tracker keeps the history while your chosen AI client runs the agent.

Atlassian's MCP server connects external AI clients to team work and knowledge. Jira also includes Rovo AI features and configurable workflows. Evaluate those capabilities against your requirements rather than assuming that AI access requires changing trackers.

Choose a scope your team can live with

Consider Praxis for a small team that wants shared ticket history, atomic claims and handoffs across its existing AI apps.
Consider Jira when customized workflows, reporting or established Atlassian processes are requirements for the team.
Trial Praxis with one project and one agent workflow. Include your review process, permissions and data export in the trial.

Praxis uses six fixed ticket statuses and is in beta. It does not reproduce Jira's full configuration surface or the wider Atlassian suite. Check the current Praxis features before planning a migration.

Account for people and AI separately

Free covers up to 2 people, with unlimited projects and agents. Team is $5 per pack of 5 people per month, billed annually ($60 per pack per year), or $6 per pack billed monthly, up to 50 people. Your AI subscriptions are separate. See all plans.

Jira's costs depend on its current plan, billing cycle and user count; AI usage terms can also apply. Use Jira's current pricing for your team size. Include the AI subscriptions you intend to keep when comparing the total cost.

Bring over a project with a CSV

Praxis imports Jira CSV exports into a new project and preserves Jira keys and epics where supported by the import. The source Jira project is not overwritten. This is a one-time import, not live synchronization or a promise that every Jira field maps to Praxis. Review import and export and check the results before switching.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is Praxis a Jira alternative?

For a small team that wants its AI apps to file, claim and hand off tickets, it can be. Praxis has six fixed statuses and does not reproduce Jira's configurable workflows, reporting or the wider Atlassian suite, so teams that depend on those should trial Praxis on one project first.

Can I move a Jira project to Praxis?

Yes, on every plan. Import a Jira CSV export into a new Praxis project; Jira keys and epics are kept where the import supports them. The Jira project is not changed, and this is a one-time import, not a live sync.

Is Praxis an Atlassian product?

No. Praxis is an independent product made by Theorem Labs.
