After Trello and Asana pulled out and Notion access got tighter, Russian teams looked for a replacement in a hurry — grabbing the first thing that came to hand. Time has passed, the market has settled, and now you can choose calmly and on the merits. There are many Russian task trackers, and they are very different: some are simple kanban boards, others heavy corporate suites, others narrow tools for time tracking or a knowledge base.

We gathered 10 tools and reviewed each one honestly: where it shines, where it falls short, what it costs and who it fits. We review our own product — Gosudarynya — by the same rules, with no gloss: it has real strengths and clear limitations.

How we compared

To make the comparison useful rather than promotional, we looked at five things:

  • Core use case. What the tool was built for: kanban, agile, knowledge base, corporate portal.
  • Input automation. Whether you enter tasks by hand or the system helps — for example, pulling them from chats.
  • What’s in the box. Just tasks, or CRM, finance and analytics too.
  • Russian perimeter. Ruble billing, Russian-language support, work with Telegram and MAX.
  • Price. Starting cost per user per month as of July 2026 (prices change — check the tools’ websites).

Now, briefly and to the point, on each one.

1. Gosudarynya

A young service built around one idea: tasks should appear where the team talks. An AI bot connects to work chats in Telegram and MAX, finds action items in the conversation and turns them into tasks with an owner and a deadline. Beyond tasks, the box includes CRM, finance with project margin and analytics — one service covering what usually takes three.

Pros: a task-parsing bot for chats (most competitors lack this), native Telegram and MAX support, built-in CRM and finance, fast start.

Cons: younger than competitors — a smaller integration ecosystem and community; the depth of individual modules (Scrum metrics, say) trails narrow specialist tools.

For whom: teams that live in chats, and those who want tasks, money and clients in one place. Price — from 1,499 ₽/mo for three users.

2. YouGile

One of the best-known Russian trackers. At its core — kanban boards with a chat inside each task: the discussion doesn’t scatter across messengers but stays where the task is.

Pros: simple, clear interface, free for up to 10 users, in-task chat, a boxed version for your own server.

Cons: does not recognise tasks in conversations automatically, no finance tracking, may lack depth for complex processes.

For whom: small teams that want a simple, visual kanban without extras. Beyond 10 people — from 594 ₽ per user per month.

3. Weeek

A multi-purpose suite: tasks, docs, knowledge base, CRM, analytics — all in one. One of the broadest in this list.

Pros: many modules for little money, a pleasant interface, a free plan for up to 5.

Cons: breadth sometimes comes at the cost of depth; tasks are entered by hand, no chat parser bot.

For whom: teams that want an all-in-one with a knowledge base and don’t want a zoo of tools. Paid plans — from 199 ₽ per user per month.

4. Kaiten

A powerful tool for those who work seriously with Kanban and Scrum: boards, portfolios, WIP limits, flow metrics. A tracker for mature teams that know why they need all this.

Pros: deep agile methodology, flexible setup, a free plan.

Cons: a higher entry barrier than simple boards; no AI task parsing from chats and no finance module.

For whom: product and IT teams that care about methodology and metrics. Paid plans — from 185 ₽ per user per month.

5. Shtab

A task tracker with a strong focus on time tracking: timers, desktop screenshots, hourly reports. That’s its main feature.

Pros: detailed time tracking, handy for hourly work and monitoring contractors, free for up to 5.

Cons: beyond time tracking the functionality is modest; no parser bot and no full CRM.

For whom: freelance teams, outsourcing and anyone for whom hourly tracking is critical. Paid plans — from 180 ₽ per user per month.

6. LeaderTask

A Russian planner with a long history and a strong emphasis on personal productivity. There is a team plan, but the product’s soul is personal time management.

Pros: polished personal planning, works on every platform, a free account.

Cons: team features are weaker than in dedicated trackers; no CRM, finance or chat parsing.

For whom: those who mainly need a personal planner, and small teams without complex processes. The Business plan — from 375 ₽ per user per month.

7. Teamly

First and foremost a platform for a corporate knowledge base and collaborative document work. Tasks and projects exist too, but that’s not the main use case.

Pros: a strong knowledge base, convenient collaborative editing, free for up to 7.

Cons: as a task tracker it trails dedicated solutions; no parser bots and no finance.

For whom: companies that primarily need a corporate wiki, with task management secondary. Paid plans — from 199 ₽ per user per month.

8. Planfix

Not a finished product but a builder: from it you assemble your own CRM, task tracker, accounting — almost any business system. Flexibility is both its strength and its complexity.

Pros: almost limitless customisation to your processes, a free plan for small teams.

Cons: takes time to assemble and configure (often with an integrator); doesn’t work out of the box.

For whom: teams with non-standard processes ready to invest in setup. Paid plans — from 360 ₽ per user per month.

9. Bitrix24

A corporate suite: CRM, tasks, telephony, websites, inventory, chats — a huge all-in-one portal. A market leader by functionality.

Pros: covers almost any business scenario, a powerful CRM, a developed ecosystem.

Cons: a heavy, overloaded interface and a high entry barrier; no AI bot that recognises tasks in conversations.

For whom: companies that need a single corporate portal and aren’t scared by its weight. Paid plans — from 1,990 ₽/mo for 5 users.

10. Yandex Tracker

A task and process management system tightly tied to the Yandex 360 ecosystem. It grew out of Yandex’s internal IT development tool.

Pros: reliability, powerful analytics, neatly built into Yandex 360, suited to large teams.

Cons: geared to IT processes; no messenger parser bot and no built-in project finance.

For whom: large IT teams and companies already living in Yandex 360. Price — from 440 ₽ per user per month on a standalone subscription.

Who should pick what

There’s no universal “best” tracker — only the right one for the scenario:

  • The team lives in Telegram or MAX, tasks drown in chat — Gosudarynya (the bot pulls tasks from chats).
  • You need a simple, visual kanban for a small team — YouGile.
  • You want an all-in-one with a knowledge base — Weeek.
  • Serious Kanban/Scrum work — Kaiten.
  • Hourly time tracking is critical — Shtab.
  • You need tasks and money in one place — Gosudarynya (built-in finance and CRM).
  • Non-standard processes, ready to configure — Planfix.
  • A single corporate portal — Bitrix24.
  • A large IT team in Yandex 360 — Yandex Tracker.

Bottom line

The Russian task-tracker market in 2026 is mature and varied: simple boards, corporate suites and narrow tools alike. The key question when choosing isn’t “which is the most feature-rich” but “which covers your real scenario without the extra.”

If your team talks in messengers and you’re tired of moving agreements into a tracker by hand — see how Gosudarynya does it: the bot finds tasks in the conversation itself.
