Self-hosted all-in-one PM suite with CRM, HR, and finance modules sold via one-time license. Built for teams that prioritize data ownership over SaaS subscriptions and can manage their own infrastructure.
In its favor
Why people choose Alian Hub
The signal that keeps Alian Hub on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
One-time license model eliminates recurring SaaS subscriptions, appealing to organizations with fixed budgets who want lifetime access to the tool.
All-in-one consolidation: CRM, CMS, project management, HR, time tracking, sales, and finance in a single platform without tool sprawl.
Full data ownership and self-hosting for organizations with strict data sovereignty or security requirements that prohibit cloud storage.
Strong professional reviews praising code quality and vendor support, with users noting a meaningful switch from Jira after being frustrated by per-feature pricing.
Built-in AI assistant, time tracker with keystroke and mouse movement tracking, and screenshot capture available on paid tiers for productivity insight.
The official domain alianhub.com expired in October 2025, raising concerns about long-term viability and direct developer support access.
Self-hosted model requires technical resources to install, configure, maintain, and upgrade the platform, creating operational overhead that smaller teams cannot sustain.
The platform works best when all employees actively participate, and low engagement reduces its value as an internal communication and collaboration hub.
Limited review volume on G2 (only 3 reviews) and a one-star seller rating on the Alian Software profile suggest inconsistent customer satisfaction or a niche, low-volume product.
Advanced features including project templates, user permissions, real-time updates, AI assistant, timesheet management, data import/export, multilingual support, and local storage are gated behind paid tiers.

Pricing tiers
Alian Hub pricing overview
Alian Hub uses a one-time perpetual license model rather than a subscription. The Free tier is functional but heavily feature-gated and limited to 1 user. The Team tier at approximately $79 (one-time) covers up to 10 users and unlocks all major features including data import/export. The Enterprise tier is priced on inquiry and removes user limits for larger organizations with dedicated infrastructure support needs.

What gets migrated
Alian Hub object support
Object-by-object support for Alian Hub migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Projects
Fully supportedAlian Hub organizes all work into Projects. We map Projects 1:1 using the platform's native Project ID and name. Board, Table, Calendar, and Gantt view preferences are stored per-project and preserved as a custom destination field.
Tasks
Fully supportedTasks are the core work unit in Alian Hub with title, description, assignee, due date, priority, and status. We migrate Tasks with full field fidelity and preserve custom status labels used within each project pipeline.
Subtasks
Mapping requiredSubtasks exist as a hierarchical relationship under Tasks. We flatten Subtasks into the destination's native subtask or checklist structure, preserving parent-child linkage and the original ordering.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredAlian Hub provides a Custom Field Manager for capturing project-specific data. We detect all active custom field definitions during scoping and map them to equivalent destination custom fields, handling field type differences (text, number, date, dropdown) explicitly.
Time Entries
Fully supportedThe platform includes Timesheet Management and a desktop time tracker app. We migrate time entries with task association, user attribution, duration, and the optional notes field captured by the tracker.
Users
Mapping requiredUser migration requires mapping Alian Hub's internal user accounts to destination users. Role-based permissions (Admin Insight, paid user permissions) are translated into destination role equivalents. The Free tier is limited to 1 user, which we verify during scoping.
Channels
Mapping requiredAlian Hub includes real-time chat via Channels (project or topic-based) and One-to-One Chat. We migrate channel metadata and message content where export is available, noting that chat history may be incomplete on Free tier.
Notifications
Not in this platformNotification preferences and history are transient system state. We do not migrate Notifications as they are not persistent business data and reset on new system login.
Settings
Not in this platformWorkspace and project settings are configuration state that does not constitute business data. We document the Settings structure for reconfiguration guidance but do not migrate them.
Security & Permissions
Mapping requiredRole and permission structures are migrated by mapping Alian Hub roles to destination roles, accounting for the tier-gated User Permissions feature. We flag any permission structures that require paid tier access to replicate.
Attachments
Mapping requiredFile attachments associated with tasks and projects are migrated via URL reference or direct file transfer depending on hosting configuration. We flag large attachment volumes for bandwidth planning.
Tags
Mapping requiredTags and labels on tasks and projects are migrated as flat tag arrays and mapped to the destination's tagging taxonomy. Tag count and naming are preserved.
