What the free edition leaves out

Scroll sideways to view all columns →

The free edition is genuinely usable, but some team or enterprise features need a paid plan. “Not confirmed” means the official pages we read did not say, so we do not guess.

Best for

Teams that want a Jira-style tracker (issues, cycles, modules) they can self-host and control.

Why choose it over Jira

AGPL-3.0 open source with Docker Compose and Kubernetes self-hosting. The free plan covers a small team (up to 12 users on the Commercial edition).

Where it falls short

Audit logs and granular access control are Enterprise only, and SSO is not on the free plan. The free plan is capped at 12 seats per workspace. Plane's docs do not describe a restore procedure.

Open-source alternative to
