What you give up vs Trello
- 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 (Trello: paywalls on power-ups and automation).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (MIT).
