Redmine, delivered as a service

Redmine cloud: Redmine without the server.

Redmine SaaS with the administration panel left switched on. Your own Redmine workspace, provisioned in minutes, in the region you choose, from $29/month.

A card is required to start your trial. Billing begins automatically on day 8 unless you cancel.

What Redmine cloud means

Redmine cloud, also called Redmine SaaS, is Redmine delivered as a hosted service instead of software you install. A provider runs the server, the Ruby and Rails stack, the database, the upgrades and the backups, and you use Redmine through a browser without owning any infrastructure. RedminePRO provides Redmine cloud with full Redmine administrator access on every plan, from $29/month for 25 users, hosted on AWS in a United States, European Union or India region that you choose at signup.

The distinction that actually matters when comparing vendors is not cloud versus self-hosted. It is whether the cloud version is still Redmine. Some hosted offerings are a fork with a different data model; some keep stock Redmine but withhold the administration panel. RedminePRO is stock, current, open-source Redmine, with the admin panel included.

Redmine SaaS versus running it yourself

Redmine is free to download, which makes the cloud question look like a pure cost question. It is not, and the honest framing is a trade of money for attention.

What you stop owning. A server and its sizing. The Ruby version, the Rails version, and the compatibility matrix between them and your Redmine release. Security patching on somebody's evening. TLS certificates and their renewal. Backups that are actually restorable rather than merely scheduled. The upgrade itself, including the plugin audit that has to precede it.

What you keep. The application. Trackers, workflows, custom fields, roles, permissions, project structure and plugin configuration stay yours to change without asking anyone. That is the half most cloud offerings quietly take, and it is the half your team notices six months in when a process changes and the tracker cannot follow it.

The argument for staying self-hosted. It is a real one and worth stating. If you already have infrastructure people, an established patching rhythm, and a regulatory position that makes third-party hosting genuinely harder, self-hosting is reasonable and cheaper in cash terms. The failure mode is not choosing it — it is choosing it once, five years ago, and never revisiting whether the person who maintained it still works there. Managed versus self-hosted, costed line by line.

What the service includes

Every plan runs on AWS with encrypted storage, continuous encrypted backups with point-in-time recovery, monitoring with our team responding rather than an alert that pages you, and 24x7 support. Redmine version upgrades are ours to run, including the plugin compatibility check and the rollback plan.

On top of stock Redmine, the workspace ships with our own plugin suite. Dashboard, Daily Digest and Checklists are on every plan from Startup. Time Tracker, Google sign-in, and Kanban and Scrum boards come in from Plus. Gantt and portfolio planning, statistics and analytics, Helpdesk and resource management are Business features. Hosting and supporting third-party plugins — Bring Your Own Plugins — is an Enterprise feature, and custom plugin development is quoted case by case. The full plan comparison.

Where it runs, and the compliance position

You pick United States, European Union or India at signup, and your workspace data resides in that region. For teams whose customers ask where the data lives, that is a written answer rather than a shrug, and it is chosen rather than assigned.

On certifications we would rather be exact than impressive, so this sentence is the one we stand behind:

HAZERCLOUD maintains active ISO/IEC 27001 certification, and RedminePRO runs entirely on AWS data centers certified for SOC 1, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and ISO/IEC 27001.

The certificate belongs to the operating company, HAZERCLOUD INFOTECH LLP. We do not describe the product itself as certified, because that is not what an ISO/IEC 27001 certificate covers. Security and compliance in detail.

No lock-in, stated as a mechanism

Most vendors assert that you are not locked in. The useful version is a mechanism you can check before you buy. Ours: RedminePRO runs standard open-source Redmine, not a fork, so your data sits in the reference schema. We provide your full database dump and files archive on request, at any time, including after cancellation. It restores onto any Redmine instance you or another provider runs.

That is worth testing on any Redmine cloud vendor you shortlist. Ask what the export contains, what it costs, and how long it takes. A vendor whose answer is a support ticket and a fee has told you something about the next five years.

Moving an existing Redmine into the cloud

If you are already running Redmine, migration is the whole decision, and it is the part most teams put off because the last person who understood the server left. We do it for you: projects, issues with full journal history, attachments, users and roles, custom fields, workflows, wiki pages, versions and time entries. Old versions are welcome, and the upgrade to current Redmine is part of the work.

Nothing on your side is touched until you have signed off on a full working copy, and the cutover happens at an hour you pick. The assessment is free and ends with a written scope; the migration itself is a one-time professional-services fee quoted after that assessment, so the number is known before you commit. How the migration works. If you would rather look before talking to anyone, the hosted Redmine options page lays out what to check across vendors.

Redmine cloud, answered.

Is RedminePRO a true SaaS?
Yes, in the sense that matters: you sign up, choose a region, and a fully-managed Redmine workspace is provisioned for you within minutes, with no server to buy and no ops team to hire. What it is not is a multi-tenant rewrite of Redmine. Each customer gets their own Redmine, running the standard open-source application, which is why you get the real administration panel rather than a settings page someone designed for you.
What is the difference between Redmine cloud and managed Redmine hosting?
For most buyers, nothing — they are two names for the same thing, and we rank for both because searchers use both. If you want the distinction drawn precisely: "cloud" describes the delivery model (you consume Redmine as a service rather than installing it), while "managed hosting" describes the operational responsibility (someone else runs the server, the stack and the upgrades). RedminePRO is both. The managed hosting page covers who does what operationally in detail.
Can I move my existing Redmine to the cloud?
Yes, and we do it for you rather than handing you an export script. Projects, issues with their full journal history, attachments, users and roles, custom fields, workflows, wiki pages, versions and time entries all move. You sign off on a complete working copy first, so nothing on your side changes until you say so. The assessment is free; the migration itself is a one-time professional-services fee quoted after it.
Which regions can I run in?
United States, the European Union, or India. You choose at signup and your workspace data resides in that region. It is a choice you make once, and it is yours rather than a default we apply for you.
Do I still get the Redmine administration panel?
Yes, on every plan from Startup. Trackers, workflows, custom fields, roles, permissions, per-project modules and plugin configuration. This is the question worth asking any Redmine cloud vendor you compare us with, because a hosted Redmine that removes the admin panel is a different product wearing the same name.
What happens to my data if I leave?
We provide your full database dump and files archive on request, at any time, including after cancellation. It restores onto any standard Redmine. RedminePRO runs open-source Redmine with no proprietary fork, so there is no schema to escape from and no export fee.
How much does Redmine cloud cost?
Flat plans, not per seat: $29/month for up to 25 users, $79/month for up to 100, $199/month for up to 250, with unlimited projects on every plan. Paying annually costs the same as ten monthly bills rather than twelve.
