PerplexityOverview
Height was an AI-powered, autonomous project management and collaboration tool designed for product and engineering teams. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in New York, it positioned itself as a chat-centric workspace that embedded a reasoning engine to proactively automate routine project management chores—bug triage, backlog pruning, and specification updates—rather than simply layering generative-AI text features onto a conventional tracker. Height offered multiple visualization modes (Kanban, Gantt, Spreadsheet, Calendar), deep GitHub/GitLab/Figma integrations, and a 'Code to Task' feature converting IDE comments into tracked issues. Backed by Redpoint Ventures and prominent angel investors, it raised $18.3M before announcing shutdown in March 2025, with operations ceasing September 24, 2025.
Height was an autonomous project collaboration platform that combined full-stack project management, real-time task-level chat, and an AI reasoning engine into a single workspace. It automated recurring PM chores—bug triage, backlog pruning, spec updates—and offered flexible views (Kanban, Gantt, Spreadsheet, Calendar), native integrations with developer tools, and a unique Code to Task feature. The product shut down on September 24, 2025.

Alternatives in Issue Tracking & Project Management6
Height positioned itself as the first 'autonomous' project management tool for product and engineering teams, differentiating from incumbents like Jira and Asana by embedding a reasoning engine to proactively handle routine PM chores—bug triage, backlog pruning, spec updates—rather than merely adding generative-AI text features.
- Its chat-centric, speed-first UX was marketed as a direct alternative to both heavyweight tools (Jira) and simpler trackers (Linear, Shortcut), targeting cross-functional product teams wanting a single workspace.
- Despite critical acclaim for design and innovation, Height announced shutdown in March 2025 with a final service date of September 24, 2025, underscoring the difficulty of gaining commercial scale in a crowded, well-funded vertical.

Reviews
Praised
- Clean, beautiful, and fast user interface
- Task-level chat keeps project context in one place
- Flexible data model supports diverse workflows
- Generous free tier with unlimited members
- Real-time multiplayer collaboration with live cursors
- Powerful keyboard shortcuts and command palette
- Innovative autonomous AI features for reducing busywork

- Shutdown announced March 2025 with no stated reason
- Reduced product updates and social activity in early 2025
Height earned a 4.6/5 rating on G2 from approximately 200 reviews, reflecting strong satisfaction among its relatively small but engaged user base. Reviewers consistently praised its clean, fast, and visually appealing interface, the utility of task-level chat for keeping project context in one place, and the flexibility of its data model for cross-functional teams. Criticisms centered on the moderate learning curve for advanced features, a less comprehensive knowledge base compared to larger platforms, and fewer third-party integrations. The shutdown announcement generated disappointment from loyal users who had built workflows around the platform.
Pricing
Height offered four tiers.
- Free
unlimited members, unlimited tasks and subtasks, 5 custom automations, 50MB file storage.
- Team
$6.99/member/month (annual) or $8.50/member/month (monthly), up to 50 members, 20 custom automations, 100MB file uploads.
- Business
SAML SSO (Okta, Azure, Auth0), unlimited custom automations with 500 runs/member pooled monthly, up to 1GB file uploads, attribute and automation locking, domain-restricted authentication. Enterprise (500+ users): custom pricing, dedicated account manager, 5GB storage, up to 2,500 automation runs/member. All plans included access to all autonomous AI features. Following the shutdown announcement in March 2025, new sign-ups were no longer accepted.
Limitations
- Height had a moderate learning curve for advanced features, and its knowledge base was less extensive than established competitors.
- The free plan capped file storage at 50MB and limited custom automations.
- The platform offered fewer third-party integrations than broader tools like ClickUp or Jira.
- Autonomous AI features were considered overkill for teams with simple project management needs.
- Recurring task support was absent natively.
- The product was shut down on September 24, 2025, making it unavailable for new adoption; users noted reduced product updates and social activity in the months preceding the announcement.
