Ora empowers you to work stress-free and collaborate the way you want! Choose an existing methodology or create your own. Ora has everything your team needs to get work done! Task management, Scrum, Kanban, timeline, schedule, issues tracking, time-tracking, checklists, task relationships, automations, integrations, productivity shortcuts, reports on projects & team productivity. Last but not least, according to our users this is THE MOST INTUITIVE and EASY TO USE project management software on the market. (don’t believe me?) Let your grandma setup your first Ora project! Power made simple. Sprints, Epics & Backlog Everything you need to run Scrum Sprints (Sprints Planning, Epics, Story Points, Business Value, Burndown Charts, Team’s Velocity) and more so you can be agile without being a certified PMP or a Scrum master (if you’re one you’d like it even better). Ship early. Ship often. Kanban board Highly visual Kanban board that you can customize the way you want (themes, turn on/off features, list backgrounds, list sizes, dark mode, project backgrounds) so you can make it look (and work) the way you want while implementing the Kanban methodology like a boss. More tasks. Less stress. Timeline & Schedule Plan your product releases, marketing campaigns, and work in general in a modern Gantt (Chart) View and Agenda, where you can see how much work each team member has so you can plan in time and manage your resources successfully. Finish on time now — not next time. Time-Tracking & Reporting Time tracking in Ora is simple. You press the play button on a task when you start working on it (the timer starts) and press the stop button when the task is ready (the timer stops). Then you can see precisely how much each employee is working and on what task. Transparency made simple. List Actions & Automations Automate everything in your project! (the only limit is your creativity) Let Ora do the boring PM work for you so you can focus only on what’s important. With List Actions, you can automate chores like adding labels, assigning tasks, setting due dates, moving tasks, and more! Less chores. More time. Powerful Integrations Ora also comes with powerful integrations like Zapier (connect over 1,500+ apps e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox, Intercom, and so on...), Advanced Git Integration (see commits and their diffs directly in your task), Slack (create tasks and receive Ora updates in #Slack) and more! Leverage others. Leverage power. Optimized for Productivity Ora is the most intuitive project management solution that’ll change the way you see work. Create tasks with tasks with @assignee, [labels], screenshots (paste them directly from your clipboard with just CMD + V), and description in one iteration.

Verdict
Ora and Zenkit Chat both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Zenkit Chat's written reviews are positive against 64% of Ora's. Zenkit Chat also leads on ads (none vs shown). Ora's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Zenkit Chat sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Ora asks for nothing beyond the download.
Ora holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ora has 191 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Ora's written reviews are positive against 100% of Zenkit Chat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ora ships an update fortnightly, Zenkit Chat every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
