I’m a fan of Pivotal Tracker for small teams using Scrum. I haven’t used it in a few years, but I don’t think it works well for large teams...I need to revisit.

IMHO, Jira is awful. Looking forward to the other responses.

Restya has a good contender https://restya.com/core-jira-slack-alternative (Disclosure: I'm on their private beta for the last 2 months). They keep delaying the release and frequently changing the UI.

If you're managing a software project then Apache Bloodhound is excellent and free. Fair warning though it's a geeky product for a geeky use case. If you're managing a screenplay project it would be more work than it's worth.

Youtrack by jetbrains. They have recently introduced new cheaper plans , for small teams it’s really free.

We switched from JIRA. Best decision ever.

Wekan and Notion are, for some reason, the least popular, best options I've found.
