Both include 25 users at entry. The difference is the price at every team size, and the caps on projects and storage.
RedmineUP Cloud is Redmine sold as a hosted service with the RedmineUP extensions bundled in. Its Small tier covers 25 users, 25 projects and 15 GB for $69/mo billed annually or $83 billed monthly, and the Medium and Business tiers cover 50 and 100 users (prices verified 2 October 2026). Its pricing page states that Agile, CRM, Helpdesk and its other extensions come pre-installed, that Redmine and the extensions update automatically, and that the service is hosted on AWS.
RedminePRO is managed Redmine at a flat $29 a month for 25 users, with full Redmine admin access on every plan. Your workspace runs in the US, Ireland, France or India, your choice at signup, and migration from your current Redmine is done for you.

A note on reading their page: above its table of $69 and $83 it carries a line reading “Montly plans starts at 29$/month”. RedmineUP told us in October 2026 that this is its current price for eligible startups and non-profit organisations, offered on application, which matches the startup and non-profit programmes the page describes. The table figures are the list prices and are what we compare here. If you qualify for their programme, ask them. If you see the $29 figure quoted elsewhere, that is where it comes from.
You want their plugin suite. This is the real reason to choose RedmineUP and it's a good one. RedmineUP has spent years building a mature commercial plugin ecosystem for Redmine (CRM, helpdesk, agile, checklists, invoicing, products, contacts) and it's one of the most established plugin catalogs in the Redmine world. If those plugins are what you want, buying them from the people who build and support them, running on their own cloud, is a coherent decision.
You want deep documentation and a migration hub. RedmineUP publishes hundreds of documentation pages, a large blog, content in more than ten languages and a dedicated migration hub. For a self-service buyer who wants to read before they talk to anyone, that's a real asset. (Worth knowing: a lot of their pages carry last-modified dates from 2017–2020, so check that anything you're relying on is current.)
Their entry tier fits and you don't want to switch. If you're already on RedmineUP Cloud, 25 projects and 15 GB are enough, and it works, that's a legitimate reason to stay. Switching has a cost, and $45/mo of savings may not clear it.
You want the same 25 users for less than half the price. $29/mo against $69/mo annual, or $83/mo if you want to pay monthly. That's the headline and it holds at every team size: $79/mo against $169/mo at 50 users, and $79/mo against $299/mo at 100.
You run a lot of projects. RedmineUP Cloud's Small tier caps at 25 projects and their Medium at 100. RedminePRO has unlimited projects on every plan, including Startup. If you run a project per client, per release, per site or per campaign, you'll hit those ceilings.
You want to install your own plugins, including theirs. RedminePRO gives full Redmine administrator access on every plan, and Bring Your Own Plugins is listed from the Business plan. RedmineUP's plugins are sold separately for self-hosted Redmine, so if you want their CRM or helpdesk plugin specifically, buying the plugin and running it on RedminePRO is a route worth pricing out. On RedmineUP Cloud itself, what you can install is platform-defined.
You want to pay monthly at the same rate. RedmineUP's headline $69 is the annual rate. Monthly costs $83. RedminePRO is $29/mo either way, with annual simply costing ten months instead of twelve.
