What you give up vs Trello
- Newer versions moved to a fair-use license with Pro/Enterprise tiers for some features
- Fewer features than Trello (no power-ups, limited automation)
- No official mobile apps
- No managed cloud offering from the core project
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host PLANKA on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Trello: paywalls on power-ups and automation).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (AGPL-3.0).
