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).
