Which Bamboo alternative should I choose?

It depends on your size. Tally is the closest match on what Bamboo actually does. If you need something more established, sort the table by team size — larger teams generally mean more support and a longer track record. If budget is the constraint, the earlier-batch companies are usually the ones still competing on price.

Is Bamboo still active?

Bamboo is still operating, so switching is a choice rather than a forced migration. Compare on fit and price rather than urgency.

How was this list put together?
