What you give up vs Linear
- Feature set is early-stage; lacks advanced views like Gantt, timeline, or calendar
- No native integrations with developer tools (GitHub, GitLab, Jira)
- Time tracking and reporting capabilities are not present
- Primary deployment target is Kubernetes, which raises the barrier for smaller teams
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Kaneo on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Linear: per-user pricing and cloud-only data).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (MIT).
