A Jama Connect alternative built for small and mid-size regulated teams
Traceable gives you requirements traceability, document control, and audit-ready review in one place, priced for teams that do not need an enterprise rollout. Reviewers and auditors are always free.
Traceable vs Jama Connect
Jama and DOORS-class tools are powerful, but they are priced and shaped for large enterprises. Traceable brings the same traceability discipline to teams that need to move quickly.

Traceability without the enterprise overhead
Live traceability
Assign TraceIDs, link requirements across documents, and see coverage through a requirements traceability matrix and a visual Document Map. Broken traces are detected and easy to repair.
Audit ready by default
Review and approval with e-signatures, a row-level change log, and an immutable PDF snapshot captured on every publish. An audit becomes an export, not a project.
Priced for your team
From $49 per month, self-serve, with free Reviewer and Auditor seats. You pay for the people who author documents, not the people who review or audit them.
Common questions
Is Traceable a like-for-like Jama Connect replacement?
Traceable covers the core requirements management workflow that most regulated teams need: authoring, cross-document trace links, a requirements traceability matrix, review and approval with e-signatures, and version control. It is built for small and mid-size teams rather than large enterprise programs.
How much does Traceable cost compared to Jama?
Traceable starts at $49 per month for a single user and $149 per month for a collaborating team that includes one Admin and two Contributor seats. Jama Connect is sold as an enterprise product with quote-based pricing.
Do reviewers and auditors need paid seats?
No. On Traceable, Reviewer and Auditor roles are free. You pay only for the people who author documents, so bringing in reviewers or an external auditor does not increase your bill.
Can I import my existing requirements?
Yes. Traceable imports existing documentation from DOCX, XLSX, and Markdown, and exports to PDF, Markdown, and CSV, so you can move off spreadsheets or another tool without rekeying your content.
