What you give up vs Asana

  • UI is dated compared to Trello's polish
  • Meteor/MongoDB stack can be memory-heavy and occasionally slow on large boards
  • No official managed cloud hosting
  • Power-up/integration ecosystem is minimal versus Trello

What you gain

  • • Full data ownership — self-host WeKan on your own infrastructure.
  • • No per-seat SaaS bill (Asana: per-seat pricing for teams).
  • • Open-source code you can audit and extend (MIT).
