The honest comparison

SaaS-Secure alternative: RedminePRO compared on price and scope

SaaS-Secure publishes the lowest entry price in managed Redmine hosting at €9.99/mo, and RedminePRO does not — we start at $24/mo. This page is about what the difference buys, and about the case where €9.99 is simply the right answer.

On price, they win at entry

Worth stating without qualification, because it is true and everything else on this page depends on you believing what we tell you.

SaaS-Secure's entry tier is €9.99/mo, or €8.49/mo billed annually. That is the cheapest published price for managed Redmine hosting anywhere in this market. Nothing in our lineup gets close to it, and we are not going to pretend that a $24/mo plan is somehow cheaper than a €9.99/mo one.

If your constraint is the entry price — a two-person consultancy, a side project, a team with a hard €15/month ceiling on tooling — that is a real constraint and SaaS-Secure is a real answer to it. Go and look at them. What the rest of this page is about is the second question, which is what each price covers.

RedminePRO figures from redminepro.com/pricing (28 July 2026); SaaS-Secure from saas-secure.com (29 July 2026). For each row we take the cheapest tier from each provider that genuinely covers that many users. Two things the table says plainly: at 25 users RedminePRO's $24 sits below SaaS-Secure's Pro tier (€28.99, for 30), and at 50 and 75 users RedminePRO's $49 Plus plan is below their €54.99 top tier and covers up to 100 rather than stopping at 75. Under 25 users, on entry price, they win.

When SaaS-Secure is the better choice

Entry price is the binding constraint. If the honest situation is that €9.99/mo fits the budget and $24/mo does not, then this is not a close call and the rest of the comparison is academic. Buy the thing you can afford. A tracker your team actually uses at €9.99 beats a better one you did not buy.

Your team is small and staying small. Flat pricing is a bet on growth. At four users, RedminePRO's $24 buys 21 seats you do not have and may never have. If headcount is stable and low, the cheaper entry tier is straightforwardly better value and there is no clever argument against it.

You are testing whether Redmine suits you at all. Spending the smallest possible amount to find out whether the tool fits is a sensible way to run an evaluation, and a €9.99 tier is a cheaper experiment than anything we sell. If it works out and you grow past their seat ceiling, move then. Our comparison of every Redmine hosting provider.

What $24 buys that €9.99 does not

The comparison is not €9.99 against $24. It is €9.99 against $24 at a given team size, with a given set of things included.

Users. RedminePRO's $24/mo Startup plan covers up to 25 users with unlimited projects, against 10 on SaaS-Secure's €9.99 Team tier. At 25 users the honest comparison is $24 against their €28.99 Pro tier, not against €9.99 — those are prices for different things.

Full Redmine administrator access on every plan. This is the sharpest line in this market and most providers are on the wrong side of it. On RedminePRO you get the real Redmine administration interface on your instance — trackers, workflows, custom fields, roles, plugin configuration — from the $24 plan up. Ask any provider on your shortlist the same question: on the plan I am actually buying, can I install a plugin myself? Confirm SaaS-Secure's policy with them directly.

Done-for-you migration. If you have an existing Redmine, Jira or other instance, we move it — projects, issues, journal history, attachments, users, roles, custom fields and workflows — done for you, starting with a free written assessment and a quote before you commit.

Support included at every tier. 24x7 support on every plan including Startup, with priority support from Business.

A choice of data region. RedminePRO runs on AWS in the US, EU or India, chosen by you at signup, and your data resides in the region you pick.

Compliance posture you can hand to procurement. HAZERCLOUD maintains active ISO/IEC 27001 certification covering its information security management system, and RedminePRO operates inside that certified ISMS. Encryption at rest is AWS KMS with AES-256; in transit it is TLS 1.2 and above. Backups are continuous and encrypted with point-in-time recovery. AWS's own data centers hold SOC 1, SOC 2, PCI-DSS and ISO/IEC 27001 certifications. Payments run through Stripe, a PCI Service Provider Level 1, so card data never touches our systems.

Headroom. $49/mo covers up to 100 users and $169/mo covers up to 250, so growing does not mean re-procuring. Security and compliance in detail.

Moving from SaaS-Secure to RedminePRO

If SaaS-Secure runs standard open-source Redmine, this is a clean Redmine-to-Redmine move; confirm that with them first. Either way we tell you exactly what carries over during the assessment.

1. Free assessment. Send us a database dump and your files directory, or give us access. We tell you what carries over cleanly, what needs mapping, how long cutover takes, and what it costs — in writing, before you commit to anything.

2. We do the migration. Projects, issues, journal history, attachments, users, roles, custom fields and workflows into your RedminePRO workspace, run by our engineers.

3. Go live. You validate against the old instance, we cut over, your team keeps working. How migration works.

SaaS-Secure vs RedminePRO — FAQ.

What is the cheapest managed Redmine hosting?
SaaS-Secure publishes the lowest entry price in the category at €9.99/mo, or €8.49 billed annually, verified 29 July 2026 at saas-secure.com. Entry price and cost are different questions, though: once you need 25 seats, RedminePRO at $24/mo is the cheapest option that covers them, and at 100 seats RedminePRO's $49/mo Plus plan is below every other published price in this market. Work out your seat count first, then compare.
Is RedminePRO cheaper than SaaS-Secure?
Not at entry. Their €9.99/mo tier is cheaper than our $24/mo Startup plan and we are not going to argue otherwise. At larger team sizes the comparison changes: our Plus plan is $49/mo for up to 100 users, against their top tier of €54.99/mo for up to 75. Both verified 29 July 2026.
How many users does the €9.99 SaaS-Secure plan cover?
Their €9.99/mo entry tier (Redmine Team) covers 10 users. The Pro tier is €28.99/mo for 30 users, and the top Enterprise tier is €54.99/mo for up to 75 users, expandable per seat from €0.99 above that. Verified 29 July 2026 at saas-secure.com. RedminePRO's $24/mo Startup plan covers up to 25 users with unlimited projects.
Who should choose SaaS-Secure over RedminePRO?
Anyone for whom the entry price is the binding constraint. If €9.99/mo fits the budget and $24/mo does not, buy the one you can afford — a tracker your team actually uses beats a better one you did not buy. The same goes for small teams that are staying small, where a flat 25-seat plan means paying for seats you will never fill.
What does RedminePRO include that a low-cost tier usually does not?
Full Redmine administrator access on every plan, unlimited projects on every plan, done-for-you migration starting with a written assessment, 24x7 support from the $24 plan up, and a choice of AWS region — US, EU or India — picked by you at signup, with your data residing in that region.
Can I move to RedminePRO later if I outgrow a cheaper plan?
Yes — done for you, starting with a free assessment and a quote before you commit. If the source is standard Redmine, projects, issues, journal history, attachments, users, roles, custom fields and workflows migrate cleanly. We tell you what carries over before you commit to anything.
