Swarmia charges $25 to $45 per seat every month. Projcity costs $10 per active user, tells you what archetype each developer is, and tracks whether anyone is heading toward burnout.
Try Projcity FreeSwarmia gives you solid team metrics. The bill is what surprises people, and there is no way to understand who your Builders or Reviewers are.
Swarmia charges per seat whether someone shipped code that month or not. Projcity bills $10 only for developers who actually contributed. On a 20-person team, you often pay for 12 to 14 active users rather than 20.
Projcity looks at each developer's commit patterns, review behavior, and task types and classifies them as a Builder, Reviewer, Architect, Bug Fixer, or Collaborator. The classification updates as the work changes. Swarmia shows you numbers. Projcity tells you what the numbers mean.
Projcity watches for after-hours commits, weekend activity, and sustained workload spikes. These are early warning signals that someone is heading toward burnout. Swarmia tracks what your team ships, not whether they are sustainable.
Swarmia supports GitHub, GitLab, Jira, and Linear but not Shortcut. If your team tracks work in Shortcut, Projcity is the only engineering metrics tool with a native connection. You get story points, cycle times, and velocity alongside your GitHub data.

Straightforward take. We are not the right fit for every team.
