Overview
Sayr is a source-available project management platform that pairs an internal board with a public-facing portal. Teams manage tasks, priorities, sprints and releases, while external users browse permitted items, submit bugs and feature requests, vote and comment. Visibility is set per task, label and comment, with GitHub sync and server-sent-event live updates.

Strengths and trade-offs
Strengths
- Public portal and internal board share one set of tasks
- Visibility set per task, per label and per comment
- Source available, self-hostable on Docker
- GitHub sync can move task status when a PR merges
Trade-offs
- Free plan caps 5 members, 3 saved views, 3 templates and 1 team
- Self-hosted AI features require your own API key
- Community self-hosting is single-organisation, community support only
- Product is at v0.3, so the feature set is still early

How this score is made up
Each dimension is scored out of 100 and combined into the headline score using fixed weights.
MCP support
Whether an agent can drive the product through the Model Context Protocol, and how much setup that takes.
API quality
Public API surface: machine-readable spec, official SDKs, documented auth, errors, rate limits and versioning.
Documentation
Publicly reachable docs — coverage, freshness, code samples and machine readability.
Agent friendliness
How readable the site is to an automated client: llms.txt, structured data, server-rendered content, crawler access.
Pricing transparency
Whether real prices are published, self-serve signup exists, and usage costs are knowable without a sales call.
Changelog
A public, dated record of what shipped and when — the clearest signal that a product is still alive.
Marketing site structure
Whether the site answers a buyer's questions: clear positioning, the pages that matter, and accessibility.
Page speed
How fast the site loads for real visitors: Chrome UX Report 75th-percentile LCP, INP and CLS, with a Lighthouse mobile run standing in where a site has too little traffic for field data.
Operational trust
Status page and incident history, security disclosure, compliance and data-processing documentation.
Measured, but not part of the score
Useful to know, but not a mark for or against the product — so these do not affect the ranking.
Openness
Source availability, self-hosting, data export and open standards. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — paid SaaS is not worse for being paid SaaS.
Maintenance
Release cadence and repository activity. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — it is only measurable for open repositories.
