Short answer: If you're a pure dev/product team, pick Height; if your team includes sales, customers, freelancers or operations, pick Managelify. Detailed 2026 comparison below.
Projects + tasks + CRM + chat + calendar + built-in Meet + files + agentic AI in one panel. Far beyond just a dev team tool, it covers freelancers, agencies, sales and operations teams with end-to-end work relationship management.
Height (Height 2.0) is a task manager that puts AI at the front of the UI; it offers backlog grooming, auto-tagging and sprint views. But it has no CRM, no built-in video meetings, no team messaging channels, no booking page, no time tracking and no invoicing — it primarily targets software/product teams.
The table below puts the two products side by side. Height is mature for dev/product teams; Managelify offers projects + CRM + chat + Meet + calendar + time tracking and agentic AI in the same panel — in one product, ready to use.
No sign up, no card, no setup. One click opens the real dashboard with projects, tasks, Mana AI and the calendar — exactly as if it were your own account.

Height is mature for dev/product teams but doesn't cover the entire flow of work on its own. Managelify keeps that speed and unifies customers, sales, communication and meetings in one plan.
Height primarily targets software/product teams. For sales, marketing, operations, customer management you'd need to add Slack, HubSpot, Zoom and Notion. Managelify bundles all of that in one plan — from devs and freelancers to agencies and startups.
Height AI does backlog grooming, auto-tagging, duplicate detection and summaries; it mostly stays at task-cleanup level. Mana AI is included in Managelify and is agentic: 'open a website project for ABC, add a design task for Friday and assign it to Mehmet' — it actually opens the project, creates the task, assigns it and drops it on the calendar.
Height has in-task chat but no team channels, DMs or video meetings — Slack and Zoom are still required. Managelify ships channels, DMs, GIFs, polls and Managelify Meet (with recording + transcripts) built in.
Height has no CRM; for sales, customer cards, contracts and invoicing you need a separate tool. Managelify bundles all of it in one plan with single-invoice billing — no FX surprises.
Height is English-only with no multi-language UI or support. Managelify is built by the team led by Yağız Gürbüz with KOSGEB and MEF TEKMER backing — multi-language UI, GDPR + KVKK compliance and EU-region support out of the box.
Height has no time tracking — Toggl/Harvest integration is mandatory. Managelify ships task-level time tracking, Pomodoro, reports and conversion to client invoices in one plan.
For a fair comparison, here's where Height shines. For pure software/product teams Height is a practical pick.
Height 2.0 puts AI at the center of the UI. Backlog grooming, auto-tagging, duplicate detection and sprint planning offer a fast experience for dev/product teams.
Height's spreadsheet and sprint views are practical for product teams who want to manipulate task data quickly.
Height integrates deeply with GitHub, GitLab, Figma and Slack. For pure software teams it shortens the workflow significantly.
Height's sticker price looks like Team $8.50 with quota-based AI; but to do real work you stack Slack, Zoom, HubSpot CRM and Notion on top — total monthly cost climbs past $50/user. Managelify ships every module — Mana AI included — in a single plan with one invoice.

FREELANCER
PICK: MANAGELIFYFor solo workers, Height is just a task manager; there's no customer management, booking page, invoicing or meetings. Managelify ships customers, projects, a booking page, invoicing and chat in one plan with no setup overhead.
AGENCY (5–20 PEOPLE)
PICK: MANAGELIFYInstead of stacking Height + Slack + Zoom + a separate CRM + Notion, agencies get one tool with Managelify. Onboarding finishes in a day; account managers and designers produce in the same panel as devs.
SMALL TEAM / STARTUP
PICK: MANAGELIFYIf your team isn't dev-only, Managelify is clearly better. Mana AI takes over routine work; sales, marketing and operations don't fit Height, while Managelify brings the whole team into one panel.
PURE PRODUCT/DEV TEAM (10+ PEOPLE)
PICK: HEIGHT — IN SOME CASESIf you're a pure dev/product team focused on AI-native sprint flow and GitHub integration, Height can be a practical pick. But the moment you add customers, sales or a freelancer model, you'll switch to Managelify.
Without losing data or confusing the team. Use the Height Importer to bring tasks and lists into Managelify.
Use Height Settings > Workspace > Export to download CSV. Tasks, Lists and Attributes are included. Bring it in with the Managelify Importer.
Height has no CRM; set up your customers directly in Managelify CRM. Add team members in Teams; roles and permissions are ready in 5 minutes.
Replace Height in-task chat + Slack with Managelify Channels. Chat tied to a task keeps the context intact.
Tell Mana 'turn the imported Height tasks into a weekly plan by priority'. It produces an automatic plan, calendar and reminders — far beyond Height AI's grooming/summary level.
Mana AI is an agentic assistant included in the Managelify plan. Tell it 'open a website project for ABC, add a design task for Friday and assign it to the team' and it actually opens the project, creates the task, assigns it and drops it on the calendar. Height AI mostly stays at backlog grooming, auto-tagging, duplicate detection and summaries — task cleanup in the background.
How Mana AI worksEXAMPLE COMMAND
"Open a website project for ABC, set priority to high, add a design task for Friday and assign it to Mehmet."
List, Kanban, Timeline — for the whole team, not just devs.
Not in Height — recorded with transcripts in Managelify.
360° customer card — Height needs a separate tool.
Pomodoro + reports — none in Height.
Command-driven, action-producing agentic AI — included.
Channels + DMs — not in Height, built into Managelify.
If you're a pure software/product team running sprint/backlog/PR flows, Height is a practical pick. But if your team includes sales, marketing, customers or a freelancer model alongside devs, Managelify is clearly better — Height can't cover those needs and you end up adding 4–5 extra tools. Managelify ships all of them in one plan.
Managelify is the strongest alternative to Height. It ships a multi-language UI, single-invoice billing, GDPR/KVKK compliance and built-in CRM, Meet, chat, time tracking and agentic Mana AI — features Height lacks — in one plan.
No. Use Height Settings > Workspace > Export to download CSV, then import it with the Managelify Importer. Tasks map to Tasks, Lists map to Project + Workspace structure. A typical migration takes 60–90 minutes.
Standalone, Height is Team $8.50 and Business $15/user/month (USD), with AI usage on a quota. But to do real work you stack Slack ($7), Zoom ($14), HubSpot CRM and Notion on top — total monthly cost climbs past $50/user. Managelify bundles every module — Mana AI included — in one plan at a more competitive total cost with single-invoice billing.
No, Height has no CRM. Height is a task manager for software/product teams; there are no customer cards, sales pipeline, contracts or invoicing. Managelify ships all of them built in.
Height AI is mostly assistive at the level of backlog grooming, auto-tagging, duplicate detection and summaries; it does task cleanup in the background. Mana AI is included in the Managelify plan and is agentic — it takes natural-language commands, opens projects, creates tasks, assigns them, extracts tasks from meetings and builds plans. It makes decisions and takes actions.
Managelify is far more suitable for freelancers. Height is a task manager only; you need extra tools for customer cards, booking pages, invoicing, contracts and meetings. Managelify bundles all of them in one plan with single-invoice billing and is ready in 10 minutes.
