The Verdict
Height is built for engineering teams and product teams, with a focus on ai-agents and cross-project-views. ZenHub targets development teams and github users and leads with kanban-boards and epics.
Both tools come in at similar price points ($8.5/mo for Height, $8.33/mo for ZenHub), so pricing won't make the decision for you.
Height has a free plan, which gives it a meaningful edge for individuals and small teams exploring their options. ZenHub requires a paid subscription from day one.
This is a genuinely close comparison. If you can, sign up for both free trials (where available) and run a one-week test with your actual team tasks before deciding.
