Why They’re Not a Direct Competitor
Forecast requires migration. Murphy layers on existing tools.
| Forecast | Murphy | |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Full PM suite | Prediction layer |
| Integration | Replace Jira/Linear | Connect to Jira/Linear |
| Primary metric | Project profitability | On-time delivery |
| Target | PSA/services firms | Any delivery team |
The Core Difference
Forecast wants to be your entire project management system. Murphy adds prediction to whatever you already use.
An agency evaluating both faces a choice:
- Forecast: Migrate everything, get profitability + resource planning + time tracking
- Murphy: Keep Jira/Linear, add delivery prediction in a day
When They’d Pick Forecast
- Want an all-in-one PM platform
- Prioritize project profitability tracking
- Willing to migrate from current tools
- Need built-in time tracking and resource management
When They’d Pick Murphy
- Don’t want to migrate from Jira/Linear/GitHub
- Primarily care about on-time delivery
- Want fast time-to-value (days, not weeks)
- Already have time tracking elsewhere
Competitive Response
If a prospect is evaluating both:
- Emphasize no migration required
- Focus on speed to value (connect in minutes)
- Acknowledge Forecast’s profitability features (if that’s their priority, maybe Forecast is right for them)
Threat Level: Medium
Forecast is a real alternative for teams who want all-in-one. Our advantage is non-disruption: teams can try Murphy without changing anything.
